This is a shameless attempt to break into the SDMB “group” and get attention. =\>

Ya see, I’ve been on here for a few months, posting when I have something to contribute, being a good little newbie… But I have not yet quite gotten into the SDMB society, so I’m taking a new tack and unsubtly demanding attention.

Howdy, LaurAnge.

Darn, I thought I was going to get the first response in, but I see Gunslinger slipped in before I hit “Submit Reply”. Oh well.

Get AIM and I might start talking to you so much you’ll wish you hadn’t gotten it . . . unless, of course you have a boyfriend, in which case I’ll just be cordial:D

It would be kinda stupid for me to welcome you, as I don’t think anyone actually welcomed me . . .

_laughs_ Iampunha, I don’t have AIM but if I did I’d give you my name. Although I am on the phone with my boyfriend right now who’s threatening to beat you up =\>

I have ICQ, though! And this thread is a definitely SDMB self-esteem booster =\>

Hey there LaurAnge! Hope you enjoy the boards. Don’t feel you’re not part of the SD society…everyone is welcome if they follow the rules.

Consider yourself welcomed by Sani. And for the record, I’ve considered you as much a part of the boards as myself for quite a while now. Take that how you will. 🙂

I know you don’t have AIM. Or, if you did, you didn’t indicate as much in your profile.

Your boyfriend will have to be really strong to beat me up in DC from Canada. He’ll have to be pretty strong (or knowledgeable in martial arts, or something else, I dunno) to beat me up regardless.

Hello Lauren! I got your little email today…that made my day! My mom and I were just discussing email today and we both agreed that we both get too many spams and forwards, not enough “real” email. When I saw yours I was like, “Ooooo!” and clapping my little welfish hands. Thanks so much!

How weird, I never considered you a newbie. You seem like one of those people who’s been around here forever, and that’s a compliment. :^) \<–you’ve been smiled at with the trademark welfish grin!

_hugs_
