Introducing Myself

Hello, Good Sunday morning Everyone. I have finally found the little pencil on the upper corner and found my way into making a post! Yes I am new here so please bare with me. I hope I bump into to old friends here. I have already seen a few of you and hope to see more. I have read a few posts and commented on a few posts but then realized I need to figure out how to make my own (suggested in a thread I was reading that it is always nice to return kind gestures as some people don't post enough) And then again some people post too much. I do hope I can find a balance here. Some days I'm really chatty and other days I just prefer to write. I wonder does everyone feel intimidated when starting out on a new site? I sure do . Is there a certain amount of words a post needs? I guess in time I will figure it all out.. xo Have a great Sunday!!

@CRanney I hope you have a new pencil case and your name is sewed into all your sports kit.

Yes, that little pencil icon is not very obvious, is it! Welcome to MyLot! New sites are always a little daunting at first but there are many friends here who will help if you feel stuck. Don't feel foolish if you find that some of the questions you want to ask have quite straightforward answers! Most people here have been in that situation (even if they've forgotten or don't choose to admit it!). I see that @Phredwreck has already pointed you in the direction of my Welcome page. I hope you find it useful and, if you think there's anything missing which ought to be on it, I'd be glad to know. Fresh eyes are often better at spotting what's missing than these old ones!

Welcome, this is a wonderful site. I hope that you find your way around all right. The comments from ForeverTheLamb are very helpful. He has steered me in the right direction in the past, so you can count on his advise.

@CRanney I know it can be overwhelming, but you'll find your own little corner to gather in, I did and I know that you can too.

@destry Will do. I think joining any new site theres a flood of information we get. I do prefer just to read comments and reply to them for a while. But I did manage to write one discussion to introduce myself. Thanks so much for your help!

Well, good morning and hello. Nice seeing you here. Lots of people from other sites are migrating here. You are going to love it here. It is way more fun than the other sites. I sometimes feel intimidated with joining a new site, but MyLot is a veteran site online and I was a member for many years. Enjoy.
