Post #341,661 by Isabella 4/19/11 5:29:24 PM Reply	New Girl on board Gentlemen, my friend Andrew <hi Andrew!> says you're mean to girls on this board. Even so, I'm here and I'm a girl-- now let's try to skip the usual hazing and be nice to me in spite of my gender! What's the topic of the day? <oh, and hello to you all>

Post #341,664 by Isabella 4/19/11 6:02:51 PM Reply	Re: New Girl on board Thanks for the welcome! Yes, that's the Andrew (with a G) ... I've heard a bit about this board and wanted to check it out. Hope everyone else is as welcoming as you were! Where are you from? I'm in L.A. (California, that is--as opposed to Louisiana). Have a lovely day and I look forward to checking out the board!

Post #341,665 by Isabella 4/19/11 6:06:45 PM Reply	Re: Welcome. Dangerous business, my friend. Maybe I'll just hang on the sidelines and see what everyone is up to before I get myself in too much trouble. Shy and all that, you know.
Post #341,667 by folkert 4/19/11 6:17:12 PM Reply	GREAT! We just get rid of the last Girly and now we gotsa another one. What are we gonna do!?? Well, I guess I should welcome you. Cheers!
Post #341,669 by Isabella 4/19/11 6:34:07 PM Reply	Re: GREAT! Great indeed Folkert =) Thanks for the welcome ... I understand your reservations. Hell, I'd be a little skittish too, but not to worry-- I'm actually not as bad as you might think. For a girl.

Post #341,685 by beepster 4/19/11 9:43:05 PM Reply	Welcome and damn...now I have to post fully clothed ;-) (there's a mental image that will make all wince) Join in whenever you like. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Post #341,715 by crazy 4/20/11 11:59:01 AM Reply	Ok, I'll bite Hey, it's a saying, relax. No matter what bman says. Since you're here via gryg, I'll assume you've heard the worst anyway. Of course, the subject line leads to visions of fresh meat being escorted onto the ship. Oh, was that my outside voice? Sorry. List a profession or area of interest, toss in a news article for a starting point, and make a comment, pro, con, or informative, and see where it takes you from there. Welcome to the nuthouse. Those that admit insanity usually have a leg up.
Post #341,716 by Isabella 4/20/11 1:42:14 PM Reply	Re: Ok, I'll bite Thank you all for the warm welcome. What would I like to talk about??? Hmmm... probably best if I let you all know a bit about me first, no? Well, you know I'm a girl <hence the girly name, not my real one, btw>. I've already said I'm a friend of Andrew's <though he may not agree with that definition> and, no, pinky up is not required... that's the way I do it but am all about diversity, so pinky down is fine with me. I live in the City of Angels, so to speak, and I'm a graphic artist/journalist/painter/reformed telephone pole climber <5'4, black hair, brown eyes and the occasional bad attitude> Now, I've heard you're all intelligent and sharp folks <I'll try to keep up> So, picking something completely random... what do you think about the new HBO series "Game of Thrones" ... anyone see the first episode? Anyone read the books? I loved the article in last week's issue of The New Yorker about Martin not finishing the series yet ...
Post #341,730 by Silverlock 4/21/11 6:47:57 AM Reply	Game of Thrones Top notch book. HBO's treatment surprised me first in that they even attempted it. Second in how well it adhered to the plot of the book. Fantasy stories don't have a good track record when transposed to film or tv. HBO seems to have decided to treat this one as the political thriller it most masterfully is. I was especially pleased they didn't shy away from the royal incest that features so prominently in the original. Now let's see how well they do with the fantasy aspects in upcoming episodes. I think the single most compelling piece of evidence for global warming is that Fox News viewers think it's a hoax.

Post #341,823 by crazy 4/22/11 1:40:35 PM Reply	Obviously She was hurt deeply by my lack of response. I'm used to that from women.
