I have just arrived yesterday. Still trying to find myself a room here, The place is big. I am a comic relief. I have posted some of my humor on the site. i have entered the newbie bar and looked about couldn't find a drink. How do you get some action here. Am I the only one here. It is too quiet. I found that there are a few people here.
I think, I have to be known more here for people to open up and write to each other, so, here I am.
Let's get this party started. I hope you are doing well. Whoever responded to me.

We had to let the bartender go. Drinking on the job, don't you know.

But there's still the communal hot tub, bubbles optional.

What many new arrivals do, after they read all the links in the "official" welcome post you'll see soon in this thread, is cruise where their interests lead them, reading a board or specific thread until they get the feel of the place, then posting. A lot of people feel most at ease getting acquainted at the boards that are not about writing, like Office Party, or the boards about entertainment or cooking.

FWIW, it's very much worth it to read the stickies on any board before posting. It'll explain any rules and expectations of how participants will behave on that board.

Thank you. I have been trying to figure out what I should do. The place seems to have a lot of things going for it. I have been working on writing for while. I have not run into anyone here at about my time. Are you people from Britian and Europe if this is the case, than your morning is our evening. I don't drink, other than a few black Russians when I am bowling. Thank you for all the support here, that I have gain by running into you people. Thanak you for having me arrive,

Hi Rick. I'm from the Uk, but probably a majority of members are from the US, so you shouldn't have too many problems with timing.

Glad you're here, Prince Albert.

Having a brand of pipe tobacco, a city, and an entire province named after you must be heady.

:welcome:.

There is also the vast Aussie/NZ contingent. Just sayin. Vast, it is.
