Kitchen? Tips 'n tricks? I don't know much'a nuthin 'bout nuthin but over the years I've discovered things that ya just don't do in the kitchen or precautions ya might consider.
Take kittens for instance ... eh, never mind, for another thread ... but make sure there ain't no kittens in your oven when ya hit the go button.

Hello Everyone,

I have been lurking at Timebomb2000 since before Y2K. I feel like I know many of you! You are my primary news source. I am finally asking to join as a result of Dennis’ “Attention Lurkers” thread. I feel like I know many of you here; (mostly I am a listener, not much of a talker.)

Just a little about me -- I was raised in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii, and my wife was raised in Kalispell, Montana. We now live in Warner, New Hampshire. It is like Hawaii in the summer, pleasantly warm and humid, and like Montana in the winter, but not as cold.

Hello all. I am new here. This place was highly recommended by a very good friend of mine.
I'm a rebellious southern belle with an innate penchant for questioning everything. Blessing or Curse? A bit of both? Story is still unfolding..
I look forward to spending some quality time pondering stuff and things here at TB.

As part of our enhanced board security procedures, we are now requiring all new members to check in and let us know you are here by posting to this or any other thread within 1 week of registration.

Every Friday evening, we will purge all members who have been registered for more than 1 week but have never posted.

Since we no longer allow non-posting members, this "check-in" post may serve as your one and only post if you simply want to be a registered "lurker".

But don't be just a lurker!

Everyone has something to contribute!

BEFORE you post your first post, please read the Rules for Posting that are at the top of just about every page on this board.

By posting your first post in here or on any other thread, you signify that you HAVE read the Rules for Posting.

Thanks, and welcome to Timebomb2000!

Kris

Edit to add:

I just want to caution everyone that we have a lot of new members, many of which are long-time lurkers who have been around as long or longer than many of us. They are just as much a part of this board and their posts, now that they have "de-cloaked" so to speak, are just as valuable as any of us oldtimers' posts.

That being said...

The flip side of that coin is that the only way we "know" people is by their posting history...

Regardless of how long you have been lurking and how much you feel like you know all of us and wish to now contribute (and we DO welcome such contributions), please keep in mind that we don't "know" you...yet.

And please bear with us until we DO get to know you a little better.

As many of you know, we have recently come through a difficult time on the board. We HAVE had some "hit-and-run" troublemakers and trolls who just love to toss out some heated or controversial tidbit and watch the fur fly.

Keep in mind that WE (the mods and admins and the other members) cannot easily tell the difference between a recently de-cloaked, long-time, sincere lurker turned poster and a "hit and run" troll looking to stir up trouble.

Please bear that in mind if some of us appear rather sensitive to certain posts in this time of tremendous sensitivity and uncertainty and potential dis-information.

I hope you new members with relatively few posts under your belt can understand that the rest of us cannot readily assume ANYTHING about any poster with relatively few posts.

Like it or not, in this medium, you earn your stripes via your posts...so please DO post and let us get to know you through your contributions but PLEASE do not take offense if we question, ask for further clarification, evidence, links, etc.

I hope this came out like I intended it...

Just a "lurker" that registered. I don't like being in the lime-light so I kinda cling to the shadows but enjoy the stories mostly. I like to save them to my computer in a pdf file & read all the way through without my computer being online, just a quirk I have. I'll try to get to some of the uncompleted stories & reply some so everyone gets to know me.. keep in mind, at 65, closing in on 66 it might be kinda hard & take some time to change my ways :) but I'm willing to try. TTY'all later :)

Welcome, I recently joined, but have been lurking since the ToL days (Tree of Liberty)
I've been told to spell acronyms. Then I found out, if you don't the thread will get derailed with silly, but entertaining jokes, LoL
