Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Nice to *meet* you all!
Looks like the mods are doing a good job of keeping the jerks out, kudos for that! I know that's not an easy job!

Hmmmm I say howdy all the time ( sometimes with color
) y'all... and for some odd reason, even my SO has a hard time with certain words I say such as "white" and "wide" ... There's a list, but I won't get into that She seems to think I sound like a hick.... I think she's right

Thanks for having me!

We cannot promise that we keep all the jerks out. But, We do our damndest to rid this place of those whom will not talk in our mild mannered, cryptic style. Whom want to fight and shill.
We are older and wiser and the majority of us are chronically ill; chronically anxious.
So, we don't brook the nonsense of those whom will take away a place we need to be with like minded people. Or, whom try to mess with vendors by being blabbermouths.
The moment we feel we have someone immature about us, or a troll or shill, we warn, but sometimes the actions are so egregious we are forced to ban.
I don't think you have to worry about any of that. I believe they come here from two other forums whom allow such nonsense. And, its spring break.
You sound quite sane and rational yourself. Its been a crazy month or two. I am so thankful for the mods and senior members and pioneer members whom make new people feel so welcome.
Have a glorious night.

Spring Break, oh my. The wild times for so many.
RE: Howdy from Texas! - reilli - 04-08-2017
I have felt very welcome and I appreciate it!
Sane & rational... My SO might beg to differ lol. I try to be chill and go with the flow.
RE: Howdy from Texas! - reilli - 04-11-2017
I'm pretty hard to offend lol. Yes, TX is like it's own country. That's not necessarily always a good thing but it's a unique place for sure.
