ForumGarden

Hi Everybody! My name is Rachel (hence my user name). I found this place yesterday. I haven't really had a chance to look around the forum but it seems pretty cool. I guess I should tell you a little about myself, incase you don't want to read my profile...:rolleyes: My birthday is coming up in a little less than two weeks, I'm in Texas, I'm married (no kiddos), I'm a fan of Supernatural, Deadwood, & Forensic Science shows. I'm pretty open when it comes to music, but I am going through a phase where I'm listening to certain singers/bands over and over: The Fray, James Blunt, Lifehouse, Coldplay, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Beatles are probably my favorite kind of music though, of all time.:-4 I'm real into reading and writing (ha, don't ask me about this too much, I may like to write a lot, but I never said I was good at it) and I'm a movie fanatic (to name a few favorites: The Break Up, Failure To Launch, Kung Fu Hustle, Bruce Lee flicks, and good horror films, which are hard to find). I'm looking for a job currently, so wish me luck!!! I'm pretty friendly, so don't hesitate to post to me some time! Okay, I'm sure I've bored you all enough... the kind ones who took the time to read this... Have A Good Day, All Of You...

welcome! :-6

Rachel, let me be one of the first to welcome you to our corner of the world. You will find we are a very diverse group here, so just look around, find a spot where you are most comfortable, and jump into the conversation.:guitarist

That's a great intro, Rachel!! Usually we get...."Hi, I'm new, see ya round..."

and never hear from them again. I hope that the effort you put into your intro means you'll be staying with us!!

Welcome to FG!! :yh_peace

welcome to the garden! Looking forward to getting to know you!

Hi Rachel, welcome to FG!:)

Hi and welcome

Wow... Thank You All for responding to my intro...:sneaky: You are all cool in my book. Here I thought maybe one kind soul would take pity on me and say what's up. I need to still check this place out and hope to post with some of you, if not all of you, again some time. Have a good night, all...

Oh, and yes... after I watch Deadwood, I do begin cursing like a drunken sailor... ahhh... who am I kidding? I was talking like that before I even got hooked on that show...

Hey, we love newbies. You've got a lot to learn about this place and the wonderful people here who make FG what it is. It's got a very family feel to it. You'll really enjoy yourself if you stick around.

Hi Rachel, a belated welcome to you. Sorry I missed you yesterday but I'm having computer problems at the moment and my system keeps crashing and taking me offline. Going shopping tomorrow for a new computer 'cos I'm really fed up with this old crate!

Know you'll enjoy FG, hope to see around.

Now if you tell her that, you'll scare her off before we can tenderize and properly season her!!! :yh_rotfl

Okay... I'm a little weirded out... I should have known this was some type of cult... :-3 It's worse than Amway for sure... Hmmm... Well, I hope that you do get your new computer... lately this one has been acting up and it's very frustrating... :-5 I keep thinking that if I do give in and slam it against the wall like it seems to be begging for me to do to it... it may work even less... Ah well... hope you all are having an awesome day like me... Talk to you later... probably on another thread...

AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! She said "Amway"!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Yeah... I said Amway... any of you come for me to try and season me up and grill me... I will pull out the Amway book... the Amway motivational tapes... Oh yeah... I'll even throw the awards at you... :sneaky: My sister was in that cult... she finally got out... they came for her... she had to go into (like a) witness protection program... they are very serious about losing a member... :-3 She was worse than a car salesman :p Ok, sorry to any car salesmen out there... we love you guys and couldn't get around without ya... well, actually we could but that's just getting off subject... okay... enough scaring y'all for one day... I'm outta here... :driving: Peace, Rachel

Hello Rachel,



I'm a newcomer also and the site and the people are great, have fun looking around and I hope to see you on some of the threads.

Shelley, I read your profile and we have some things in common... thank you for your greeting and I look forward to seeing you around... I know some things I post are a little strange, but I'm actually pretty much down to earth and know when to be serious... okay, sometimes I know when to... :-2 Hope all are having a good day... I keep responding because I don't like being rude... I want to make nice with everybody on here.. Off to search the forum again...

Welcome Rach, nice to see you, love your sense of humor and your taste in music.

I hope you have fun here, we do like to enjoy ourselves in the Garden.

See you around. And good luck with the job hunt, I don't envy you.

Minks

Thanks Minks Oh, thank you also for not mentioning the whole BBQ thing... I'm going to be visiting my parents this coming weekend and staying for a month there and what I love the most is my Dad's BBQ but with all the cannibal talk lately concerning yours truly... I may pass on the whole grilling thing and stick with cold sandwiches :p Someone likes my humor? Well alright... this will be the first in awhile... most just think I'm an odd duckling... *shivers away bad elementary memories*... Well, I think I should get offline now... I think it's unhealthy for me to be on here so much... it's to the point when I look at things outside of the computer screen... they appear to me in The Matrix form... Hmmm... Well, thanks for the warm greeting... Later... Rachel

Rachel

I found this statement in red below somewhere

Did you misplace it ?

This is just crazy talk...your a madwoman, running amuk, to and fro, you and your shenanigans



Hello Sarah... let me start off by telling you that I'm deeply jealous of you and the attention you've gotten... I put up an introduction of myself yesterday and you have 3 pages vs. my 2 pages and I've written in it like 3 times... :-5 All jealousy aside... I hope you enjoy posting here... I feel like I've been here awhile because I've been running around like crazy posting in different threads... the folks here seem to be a friendly bunch... don't let them try and scare you away with their odd talk of tenderizing and grilling... pssst... it has to do something with Amway I think... anyhoo, hope you have a lovely day...

My first week on and it seems I've already angered someone... I am sorry, Nomad, that in my natural state of craziness I've seem to have offended you... no, I posted on a thread to a newbie like myself, so I thought... unless I went into the wrong thread... it was a lame attempt at being funny... I am truly sorry for upsetting you, so it seems... I try to stay in the random thoughts thread and have been doing I believe for the last day... you don't have to worry about reading anymore craziness from me... well, I could say that but I'm not sure what tomorrow may bring... hmmm... anyway, I don't expect a reply from you... just didn't want to be rude and not answer something you posted directly to me... anyway, have a great day and I'm sure I'll come across something you've posted and vice versa again.....

Don't worry Rachel, you haven't upset him.............he's just Nomading you!

Kinda like....Tag - you've been Nomaded.

I think p'raps he needs a 'T' in his name...folks might understand him better if he were known as noTmad! :wah:

And don't worry about being BBQed....I like my meat medium-rare....and in this hot sun you should be cooked quite nicely now. hehehehehe (I'll lure her over folks, y'all grab the ketchup! :wah:

Oh... I see... it's like pick on the new kid in school, huh? Hmmm... I don't know about this place... I mean here I was biting my nails, losing sleep... thinking I've gotten this person all upset with me... knowing I'd never be able to show my face around here again... and it's like I was Punk'd... hmmmm... so not cool... lol... just kidding... my jokes are way more lame than probably the least funny person on here (you know who you are)...:p So I've been tagged... was this like some kind of initiation? Did I pass?

All this talk about BBQ... at first I was like haha... then I was like ha... and now I'm like... :-3 Hope y'all enjoyed your Father's Day... I enjoyed mine... got to spend it with my Dad first time in a few years... very nice... I'm in West Texas right now and this heat will kill you... ugh... if I had to compare this humidity with Dallas... I'd choose Dallas to live in... Yikes... okay, now I'm boring you with my talk of desert and heat and humidity... why do you think I try to stay in the random thoughts/chat thread? Then I can post to myself or ask questions we all want to know the answers to... or be in awe of such amazing inventions like Baking Soda... admit it, it's freaken awesome...

Bear with me... (debates whether or not it is "bear" or "bare" but feels confident that the first one is correct)... it's late and this is the ranting of an insomniac... Well, Nomad & Rapunzel thanks for the nightmares... lol, just kidding... Let me play you a song to lull you asleep... :guitarist

Hi Rachel and welcome!!! I'm a Deadwood fan too!!! Must admit to being a little startled at first and I learnt loads of new words. Aussies don't startle very easily. I won't mention barbies, and promise to protect you agains BAD Nomad and BADDER BabyRider - not that you need protection if you have an Amway motivational tape in your possession. (They're great guys!!!) Why don't you send a copy of that tape to Tom Cruise. Broaden him a bit... but I digress. I was gonna behave and be totally pussycat like. Catch you again later, I gotta run!

HEY!!! I resemble that remark. :yh_bigsmi

You guys are too cool! I haven't been asked to leave... yet... heehee... how many posts do you need to well... post... in order not to be considered for BBQ? Hmmm... just wondering... and when other newbies come here... do I get to haze them too? :p Nah, I've got a weak stomach... well, I appreciate y'all stopping by and posting me a note... I feel so special... I keep Amway on me at all times... so beware. I am not too afraid of some of the (okay, most of them scare me...) members on here... they seem... a little cannibalistic (wonders if I spelled that correctly and if that's a word... high school was years ago for me, sorry) and funny... and sweet... like me... People, hook me up with an ice cold Dr. Pepper or Mug Root Beer... this West Texas heat is KILLING ME... I think it's like 110 right now.... okay, maybe not... but still I feel like I'm in... in... well unpleasant, hot weather.... I get to drive for another 10 hours in the middle of the freaken day back home today... YAY... who loves hot, sweaty, nasty... road trips? Y'all are freaks, you know who you are... Okay, the heat and lack of sleep is catching up to me... I am now being insulting... lol, no I'm not (trying to be tough to prove that I'll fight off anyone who comes at me with a fork and steak knife)... ahh, well, night people...:sneaky:

Rachel, after that post, I'd say you're in, and past the threat of being barbequed. And by the way...yes, you spelled cannibalistic correctly and yes, it is a word.

I'm glad to see you sticking around. So often we have noobs pop in, post an intro, and never hear a peep from them again. Sincerely hoping that won't be the case with you. :yh_peace

Right!! The FGer with that cannibalistical Jaws type jagged toothed fish av has a lot to answer for. Yerve gone and skeered Rachel !!!

It's a very long time since anyone in here has actually been barbecued........... We did once toss someone into a volcano to appease the Management Force... Mmmmm.... and I think we tarred and feathered someone the other day, but nar.. nobody's been tossed on the barbie. Still, it is the solstice ....... DEEP THOUGHT. Nar - I'm going to lead the way. FGers can resist temptation. And there's the Amway angle to consider....



Seriously - it does sound rather hot over your way. Midwinter here of course and very chilly. Ski season has begun.. ..... o joy o delight!



And I agree, BR... Rachel is gonna fit right in here.... wicked grin.

Hi Rach, just got to see this, WELCOME to FG, you fit right in! You will enjoy it in here for sure!

Why thank you for your greeting! I am glad I fit right in... could you all please write a letter to my parents and let them know this? They were a little weary when my imaginary friends quit playing with me... I have read posts from most of you and am so glad to see that some of you are much sillier than me... :yh_dance I think I enjoyed being here from my first response to my intro... since then it's been party party party :guitarist I've yet to frighten any new people away but the day is barely starting... maybe I too could terrify at least one new member... it would be a dream come true... Well, I need to get some sleep... I heard it was good for ya :yh_sigh Later cool peeps :yh_ttth
