I've been here a little over a month have have been greatly enjoying myself. I try to add a comment when I think I can be of help and occasionally add something I think is funny in an attempt to lighten your day.
Now I want to say thanks to the people here for the time spent and the help I've received. I've learned a great deal in what little time I've been around.
Now, what I've learned:
I've always tried to pay attention to what's going on around me, but reading through the threads here, I have found myself being more concious of my surroundings. I've noticed things around me as I go about my daily business that I hadn't before. I find myself playing "what if" and doing mental drills. "What if that guy pulls a gun out?", "What if that carload of deaf (they have to be deaf with the music that loud) gangster looking kids decides to check me out a little closer?", "What if...?" I've found exits I didn't know existed in stores I regularly patronize. I also know how the cell coverage is in these places, just so I know were I have to be if I need to make a 911 call.
I've learned I'm not the only person around who thinks like we do. Not many people around me think like I do, but most of the people here are on my wavelength. If you find you are the only person who holds your beliefs, you start to think "It must be me that's not right in the head." Now I know I must be OK. (OK in a relative term I suppose.)
There are many other things, but I won't bore you with them. Suffice it to say, I've spent a lot of time on this forum in the past month and it has been time well spent.
Thanks to Bumper for the great site. Thanks to the moderators for keeping it cleaned up. And thanks to the members for keeping the moderator's job easy (that's me guessing at their job) and submitting posts to make such a helpful site. I'm happy here with my kind.
Oh, yeah... and I love the dancing bananas...:danceban: :banana: :danceban: :banana: :danceban: :banana:
