Welcome to the 'verse. Pick yourself out a comfy seat, kitchen's open as you feel the need, clean up after yourself.

HI Shiksa,

I've been around here a long time (four days)

It's a cool board, but look out for Gunhand. I heard he's trouble.

Hi, FireflyFriend! Gunhand has been missing for a few days, but I hereby invite you (and everyone) to the WE MISS GUNHAND thread, I'm serving hors d'ovaries and such. And after that, you can go to the poster review board to vote for me. I'm no longer even sure what I am being voted FOR, but feel the compulsion to win it at any cost.

welcome newbies...i am fairly new as well, and just a few quick points of interest:

1- always cut your fruit.

2- vera is only for the experienced.

3- if you get a box with airholes, open it immediately....someone may be getting nasty leg cramps in there.

hope you like it here....and don't worry, you'll do fine.

From what I've seen these guys can be a little weird as well as quite nice (Of course I'm totally normal ). We give all kinds of warm fuzziness while carrying on conversations on this board.

So, welcome and have fun

Teela. I'm as right as rain, thank you very much! How are you? Yes, I missed you and am happy to see you as well! Been studying for finals and taking tests at school. All done with the semester now. I feel like such a newbie seeing all the unfamiliar names posting. It's great that J.W. is making the movie. Can't wait to see it. Anyone got any juicy gossip on it yet? Has anyone been putting up new art lately? I really missed this site and all y'all!!

Didn't Jubal also say:"Maybe I've always been here?" Anyway, here's a belated howdy-do to you Calhoun!

Gorram, it's good to be back.

Wow--I can't believe the number of posts! I definately feel welcome.

I had to giggle over the speculation over my screen name. For the curious:

Shiksa is a Yiddish word that basically means "non-Jewish girl." This is one of my nicknames at work since I'm a Gentile girl who works in a Jewish institution.

That's wonderful! All my school work is done, essentially. Gossip, gossip...well, there's an entire thread, but I refused to look at it, it wasn't spoilerized, to my knowldege. Well, there was a rumor that Ron and Alan weren't going to be in it, but as far as we know, they are. And tis wonderful that Joss is makin' a movie.

Yes. It's wonderful to see you back. YAY!

Teela. Thanx for the info. It is SO nice to be here if only for a little while. It IS terrific that Joss is getting to make the movie! It wouldn't be right if Ron and Alan weren't in the movie! I hope the movie has some great villains and maybe clears up some of the unanswered questions pertaining to the characters. Teela, I DO have instant messaging. If you want to contact me, my E-mail is paulejohns@aol.com

Guess its kinda like "chixor," but Yiddish.

Yuppers, thanks to here and my 8-page report, my typing is fairly good. Actually, I can proofread better and hit the delete key faster. But it's all the same to me!

I believe it's all A's. I haven't gotten my final report card yet.

Thanx for your e-mail as well Teela. Congrats on the A's. I'm still waiting for my grades to be processed so I can apply to Universities and transfer. But my confidence is high that they're straight A's. (I bribed my Professors. No just kidding, I only slept with them. OK, ok, I studied hard and did well on the tests.)

Looks like it's time for some thrillin' heroics!
