Some new folks have asked for the magic word and we'd like to welcome them to Currents. We'd also like to ask them to come out of the woodwork for a sec and say hi. We suggest you use a fake name and address for any posts, despite what the software says (just remember to check the No on reply notifications), because we cannt guarantee that we are absolutely troll-free.

We hope you find this place interesting and useful and that you'll pop up from time to time just so's we know someone is reading this stuff.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You think we actually read this stuff? I thought it was a contest to see who could post the most. ;)

As Barefoot (IIRC) can attest, the only ones I make a point of not reading are the ones I post. Not enough time, you know?

And, of course, none of us reads Carl's posts.

No, YOU don't read Carl's threads. The guys just look at the pictures that Carl posts, which is something a little different. I can't afford the possibility that there is something behind me admiring Carl's pictures...

I've been trying to formulate a law of Conservation of Reading Material out of this, but I think I'm missing a few variables, if not marbles.

Pictures ???? Did someone say pictures ??? Fer pictures I'll come down off the "lurkers perch" !@#$% SAR01 likes pictures I hear !@$@

Now that was uncalled for... now any newbies will be afraid to read my posts. Someone has to cover the offbeat newsworthy items... and most of my pictures barely rate a PG-13...

Maybe we don't have any newbies after all--sob. Nobody new is saying hi--sniff.

Hi, newbies, and Lurkers!!!! I'm in and out....up and down, and run circles everywhere else...just don't get any where!!!!

(Lurker mode off)NOOOOO...I NEVER read Carl's posts, just send links off to favorite prurient friends to let them know that I'm not JUST a doomer....

I'm not "new" (since '98 on old timebomb forum) but havn't much to say as I wait for it all to transmorgify into whatever... but want to let you all know this place is good...like important. Oftentimes a moment of sanity in increasingly disintigrating and rigidifying (?) cyber environments. Thanks for all your nice work, Old Git et al....cat

A brave lurker! I KNOW we have scores of them (close to 200, actually), where the hell are the rest of ya? C'mon, all you have to do is type "hi."

Hey Ya'll,

Lurker checking in.

Well, my excuse for the delay is that my hubby hit a deer and totalled the SUV, we've had to spend most of our remodeling time going back and forth to Lowe's and still have a large hole in the wall and a leak in the tub, one of my does who was born this past March surprised me with a doe of her own, my new puppy WILL get the hang of going to the potty outside, and my bridgework fell out of my mouth. (Like that runon sentence? lol)

I'm getting older by the second and I can't seem to stop it. It's been nuts around here and this is the first time I've had a chance even to lurk. But, I love coming here. Ya'll never stop doing what you're doing.

Iris

Um, what were we doing?

Gawd, Iris, y'oughta drop us a line now and then about the goings-on at your house. If they're normally only half of what you posted above, should be interesting.

Carry on, BF.
