Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 I am going through the same thing Wayne :-) I've been on for just barely over a week, though I have been doing the challenge for two weeks and I feel the same way. I end up only reading the posts and taking what I can get from them and that's about it. It kinda sucks being a newbie. --- Wayne Fisher wrote: > Sorry, everyone, but I can't help but feel like I don't belong on > this > list...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 (Note to self: Brevity is a good thing) Yeah, what Andyman said... in so many less words. (who apparently spent too many years turning a 2 page research paper into a required 10 page paper ) Re: Why Am I Here? This is an e-mail list. Don't expect too much from it and you won't be disappointed. I think this is the best e-mail list that I have been on. Contribute if you can. Otherwise, just sit back and read the messages and absorb all the advice.There is really no need to fit in. We are all very different, but have BFL in common.Andyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 ATTENTION NEWBIES! First of all, we love you guys. We were all newbies once. After 12 weeks you'll be a veteran. In the meantime, I'd like to declare tomorrow night Newbie Night and invite all newbies to a coming out party at our weekly Wednesday Night chat. You'll probably get a notice about it later today. It's a regular event, but here's your chance to participate!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Wayne, if you really want to fit in I will tell you.... cash small unmarked bills, sent to a po box on a monthly basis. email me privately for directions. just keep on contributing, if some people show up in black robes and show up at your door, kidnap you and make you do unspeakable things with farm animals, it isn't anyone affiliated with this group. just kidding, just keep contributing and you will feel like you belong. bill > Sorry, everyone, but I can't help but feel like I don't belong on this > list...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 If there any DC people on the list, maybe we can get together for the " Drag Race " this Halloween? It's loads of fun. I have gone six years in a row. -Memo >Only those that live in NYC's Village or SF's Castro >District... > >Of course, I once did observe DC's (in)famous Drag >Race.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 What if we refuse to do the unspeakable things with farm animals? That just brings back too many memories of high school!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Wayne: We welcome newbies, but you are only a newbie for your first challenge. Then you are an " old timer " . Many of us have been around for one, two, or even more challenges. We learn a lot from each other. Just " jump on in " and get your feet wet. We don't bite, well some of us don't. But watch out for Lana, she likes to poke eyes! LOL Many of us have formed friendships and some of us have gotten together for BFL related events. Woohoo, Vegas, here we come!!! In time, you'll get to know all of us. (whether you want to or not!) MP > Sorry, everyone, but I can't help but feel like I don't belong on this > list...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Nah,not Arkensaw, I'm from KY, but that's close enough. -----Original Message-----From: Lana Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 8:37 PMTo: bodyforlife Subject: Re: Re: Why Am I Here?>What if we refuse to do the unspeakable things with farm animals?

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 With respect to e and Wayne, I'm not sure what the problem is. I mean, you read others' posts to learn a bit, and if you think of comments or questions, then jump in. I don't know that there's anything you need to " do " in order to " fit in " or be considered cool or whatever. I dunno, maybe you're expecting too much from a faceless, fleshless internet group? *shrug* Andy > > Sorry, everyone, but I can't help but feel like I don't belong on > > this > > list...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Wayne, e, and other newbies, Please feel free to jump in whenever. I've been a part of this group since April and I continue to participate because 1) I still need and receive much inspiration to keep me going and 2) because I've completed 1.5 challenges I want to be able to offer any words of advice or encouragement from someone who's BTDT. I love the enthusiasm of the people just learning about BFL and enjoy reading about peoples progress and even frustrations.
