PEOPLE!

[cwent2]

Wondering how a newbie, (that would be me) says welcome (looks at member map yep only one in RI) Well, welcome to Geekdom!

[ethernautrix]

Yikes, it's like having the Queen of England join you for tea and crumpets.

We're painting the roses red!

BOB!

[ethernautrix]

Hello, my people! I mean, my tribe, not my minions. My minions aren't people but invisible beings disguised as wishes.

So... I had almost 13,000 posts at FPN. After just more than five years -- not quite 10,000 "official" (meaning, I spent a lot of time Chattering) -- and here I am, at, what? Ten? I MUST FIX THIS.

So, hello! Just wait 'til I figure out the threads and things. Hahaha.

Nice. Feels good here.

Cheers, Dan and Eric!

13,000?!? Impressive!

Well... I'm not saying anything about the content. (*Laughs*) I'm not confusing my own quantity with quality. Also, that was over a span of five+ years, and I was by no means the most prolific poster. But... I am chatty. Hahaha. (And "laughy.")

[ethernautrix]

13,000?!? Impressive!

There are days where she brought the entire Internet to a halt, single-handedly. Well, double-handedly...

LET THE MYTHOLOGIZING BEGIN!

Teeheehee!

Rhode Island! I lived for a time in Rhode Island, some years. Get nostalgic about it, dare I say, miss it sometimes? Yeah.

Thanks, cwent2!

Great to see you here!

(Can you tell I'm desperately delaying doing yard work at the other house in 90 degree weather??)

[reprieve]

Jon, I'm starting to think that you're the most interesting poster on FPGeeks.

[ethernautrix]

Hahaha!

Jon, you know more than just one woman with 13,000 posts at FPN. Deirdre surpassed that marker long, long ago!

You know what? That yard work doesn't need to get done today. I say PLAY ON THE INTERNET! Hooray!

Yes, born and raised in RI = spent 20 years in USAF and came back - As someone would say the FORCE was strong. I knew there was a reason I like Fountain Pens - NOSTALGIC - yeah that's it.

[ethernautrix]

Oh yeah, all the natives return to the RI roost! How do you think I ended up there? Married an "ex" Rhode Islander. He swore he would never return! Then one day, I was waking up every day for seven years in Rhode Island. Hahaha. He's still there. Wonderful ex. I mean that with affection.

A late to you, Lisa. I was so happy to see you and Jon and many others here as well. Home away from home or maybe a new home??

I am hoping that FPN recovers some day; no hate here, just some sorrow and disbelief about what has happened to some very fine people. Inexplicable, really.... Lucky for us, FP Geeks is a very nice place to be and we have been made welcome here!

Off topic: More Rhode Island love from me, too - I lived there from my kindergarten days through high school. I no longer have ties there so doubt that I will ever get back for a visit but I miss all of the green (trees, shrubs, etc.,) the ocean, the autumn..... Guess I miss New England in general, but here I am in land-locked Colorado...which has its own unique beauty.

I just stepped over from FPN too. Nice to see you here

Hello I'm a Nakaya fan with no Nakayas -- still in the dreaming about them stage.

[soot]

Hey ethernautrix~

I am presenting my first FPG post to you! :-D

Now, let me go see some pen reviews and other stuff...

Well, what can I say, my father told me not to do two things - don't join the air force and don't buy this house (referring to family home where I was born) - Well retired from the USAF and came home and bought the farm. But as you can see I did not kick the bucket.

Glad to be in the forum 'presence' of the famous photographer....

She is on the list of top ten famous people who use fountain pens....

Haa! My ex always said that he would never return to Rhode Island, and then when we were living there, he always talked about leaving, and then I left, and he was still talking about leaving, and then he moved into his childhood home (bequeathed to him) and still talked about moving elsewhere, and I finally said, "You know what? You don't want to leave. Living in your childhood home is just about as opposite to leaving as you can get." We laughed. As far as I know (haven't talked to him in a coupla years), he's happy where he is. Hooray!
