Hi. My name is Charl. Right. Just Charl. It was my grandfather's nickname. See, he and my father were both named Charles. Grandfather died when Dad was just a pup. My parents wanted to honor his father, but didn't want Charles the Third acting all high and mighty, starting war and stuff.
Actually, I'm not exactly new here. I've tried to hang around a couple times over the past few months. (BTW, L o v e the decor. So, retro. 1995) I kept getting a headache. Then it dawned on me that it might not be the discourse. It might be those flashing avatars! (See how I snuck that dreaded punctuation in there?)
So, I decided to register to turn them off. Well, that's what my conscious mind is telling me. Freud may have other reasons to reveal. Slowly. Over time. So, I can handle them. He's around here somewhere. Usually he stays in my pants, but sometimes he sneaks into my head. Sorry.
I suspect a few of you are just itching to explain my motives to me too. Great. I can't wait. But, you may have to be patient. I'm not like you. I didn't eat word beans. Writing is tough. Words can be costly. I try to be careful, then I end up not using enough. If that happens, I'm sorry. You betcha.
I didn't dream of being a writer. I had to sit down. Pretty quick, I got bored and started writing. I'm so unworthy.
Looks like all the dumb questions have been answered. So, don't expect me to be starting threads. If I'm moved to reply to someone, I usually delete it before posting.
I've read about as much of the Newbie Guides and FAQs as I can handle. I know boilerplate when I see it. If you can't restrain yourself, go ahead, but know that everyone will know I've deleted my reply. I don't want you to look silly.
Oh, I know lots of words, but I'm not too good at spellish. I try to run spell check, but sometimes, I forget. Just say, 'That's Charl for ya' and jump to the next sentence. My daughter has won spelling bees, so we know it's not genetic. It ends here.
Thanks in advance for all the welcomes. If I understand correctly, every time I get to say 'thank you', I get a star on my forehead.
