Me me me!!!! I'm bright shiney new, right? I promise to become a fully-vested YMer by posting a budget one of these days. I'm sure it will generate controversy because I am not as frugal as everyone else, but it is what it is. I did purchase YNAB though and I do use it!!! Does that get me a reprieve? WEll, it puts you up on me! And I've been hanging out on the boards since 2005ish. Still no budget, still no software.

I'm not actually sure when I showed up. I was posting on the TheKnot for wedding crap in 2004. Got kicked to the TheNest shortly after getting married with no explanation and unable to get my user ID back on TheKnot. Somehow found MP Dunleavy's WIR stuff AFTER they'd shut the original thing down. Read though that even though it was closed. Found MSN and lurked, mainly on WIR. Signed up and posted there. It felt more welcoming, less intimidating and less scary. Started tippytoeing around EE and YM and eventually got brave enough to post on both of the those. And here I am, in 2015. ETA - and I still think MP Dunleavy wrote some relationship articles on TheKnot, TheNest and on MSN's relationship board (where I ended up when I found out I was pregnant. I still miss those ladies.)

snort. How did she find the time this weekend? Wasn't The Captain supposed to be getting caught up on her Girl Genius/Phil Folgio reading? One shouldn't multitask when reading GG... Beth taps her foot.

No, they're really new. We have gotten a number of new posters lately. That's awesome! Welcome! really, it is great to see new people join. it's a fantastic community with a lot of great perspective and knowledge. I agree and hope more feel brave enough to come out and join us. I don't know if I should say Welcome New Posters or thank you for the Welcome. I'm fairly new, but not bright, shiny new! You now qualify for both. New enough but around long enough to belong. You were also one of the newbies I was thinking of. I guess most new ones are still lurkers LOL! Based on the count when you click on "home" I think you are right. But I still love you even if you are old. Not know what to say. So honored. Except for Sum Dum Gai paranoid ill manners Awwww. You were one of the newbies I was thinking of. And that's part of Sum Dum Gai's charms. He has many. What are levels of membership? New, bright and shiny. Interesting. Starting to annoy. Totally annoying. POM, you need to get a life!

Beth taps her foot. (Hangs head in shame...or wait - maybe I shouldn't). After I blew through the first 1.5 years in about 45 minutes I came to the sick realization that I was not giving the visuals the attention they truly deserved. So, I've gone back to the beginning and am forcing myself to take it slowly. This is really hard for me as I'm a super sick speed reader. I can't access it from work (the site is blocked) so I can only get to it on my tablet. I worked both days this past weekend so not much down time for GG...but as a YM'r I am honour bound to set peeps on the path to financial freedom whenever I can. BTW - I you for turning me onto that site, thanks!

J/k...I lurked on MSN for years and here too before actually joining. I guess because I just recently started posting I FEEL shiny new even though I joined in 2013. Besides, like I said, this year is the big 50....I need to feel shiny new about SOMEthing! PS I too am a Wisconsin Beth.

I guess I'm one of the "shiny new"! Not so bright thoug! For the past couple years I've been reading treads over my wife's shoulder. I even posted a couple comments. That was all good until one day when she got mad and told me that I should create my own. I guess whatever I posted she didn't agree with. I still don't understand why she got mad since we argue even about things that we agree on?! So: I will be 47 this year, have a wonderful family that I love and be willing to do anything for them. And I mean anything! Lived in a few different countries before arriving to US. I am a stone mason and I love it. Unlike many that learn this kind of trade from someone in their family, I learned it in college. Runing my own business with some help from my wife. She takes care of the financial part and I do the rest. Winters are my slow time that's why I'm kinda "all the time around" at least while is cold. Not interested at all in finance treads. Here mostly for political treads, religion related, military and so on. Finances don't apeal to me . So! Thank you for the warm welcome! ( or maybe the warmt comes from sitting next to the burning fire in my fireplace? )

An online comic strip called Girl Genius. It's what my quote is from. The Captain really likes the author/artist Phil Folgios and only just discovered that Girl Genius (GG) is his work. But this probably should move to either PMs or a separate thread.

It was the convenience and I went with it. I have this weird thing about placing people-more like figuring out their descendance- based on their names. Screen names however are meaningless to me. At the end of the day is not the name that matters.

"What's next, a poem?" I believe was a question. The mark at the end gave it in. Thats why the Mahabhara offer. A person asks, you answer and ofer, is polite and shows good manners!
