All you newbies whose screen number is over 100,000 (plus infinity, or minus a couple thousand), this thread is for you. What's it like to be 'new' here? Are you welcomed? What do you think of FR? Do you feel 'part of the gang'? This thread is for you. Lay it on us.
On my rear end? Sorry, I am not getting up right now:):)
This is going to become one of those threads...LOL!
I think there is much wisdom in what you said. I am #141954 - has a better ring to it than, say, #666.....
Welcome Bender2 - or should I say Welcome #161854?
1192
I've been here since 1998, and I avoid groups. Just post what you want to who you want. Don't worry about the cliques, they're irrevalant. Stick to news. You'll be fine and make tons of friends.
I keep posting even though I don't get responses. Yesterday was a step forward when I learned about FReepmail. I do like lively and like minded conversation.
Welcome home Texan from Wyoming.....!
They were eaten by a grue. That's what happens when you post with your lights turned off.
Take a look over head, see those black helicoptors..... ???
You're close...off by only four!
You're a newbie...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/user-posts?id=1192That number 1192 is your number. Note, this is a different page than your ping page.
When I place the cursor over my name on a past I have made, it shows the signup date. Mine says 3/28/1996. That sounds about right. It was during the early days of the Monica scandal.

BWAAAAhaaaahaaahaaaaaa!
Sorry, but that's funny.
That is the first step to recovery:)
How do you even know what your number is any more? I know about what mine is, but you can't do the thing with the cursor any more.
Oh, THAT address bar. I was looking at the URL address bar at teh bottom of the screen, Thanks.
"I've been here since May and have often found it difficult to get responses/feedback from most of my posts. Seems as though there are a lot of "mini groups" that talk back and forth. Am confident that my inputs are worthy, but often get discouraged. Just my 2 cents."
The person who said "don't sweat it" is on the right track. We all got together and I was selected to tell you that it is your deoderant. :-)
Do you mean my Ban 5 day roll on doesn't actually work for 5 whole days?
Must be a Jim thingy.
When I slide the cursor over names on posts, I see the name on the information bar but no date. Including yours.
CWW...would you mind looking up my number? I can't seem to find it.
