Please Introduce Yourself, Let's All Get To Know Each Other

What??? No, yours is separate. What a question.
@ DoodleeePoo - You are talking in your sleep.
Remember how I said I would talk about any subject?Yea, politics is out.
And religion, cause that often causes discussions that get out of hand.
Also sports is out.
But aaaaanything else! :p

Are you both stalking me now??
Okay, let's talk about a subject of your choosing.

Aaron{{REBLAST}} wrote: "How about stereotypes?"Like?
How about the subject "Abandoning DoodlePanda and running away to see Godzilla"?

*twitch*
@ Ruth - I do i do ... only if I knew what hydrangea was ... nevertheless faints with excitement.

we work in shifts.
Ruth wrote: "No one cared about my planting hydrangea either. lol It's so exciting."It's a dirty subject, Ruth.
Sole wrote: "What about food? XD I am hungry lol"Me too!
Too late to eat now though :(

You work in shifts watching me sleep? O.o
That's not creepy at all! Lol :P
Daniel wrote: "Ruth wrote: "No one cared about my planting hydrangea either. lol It's so exciting."It's a dirty subject, Ruth."
Lol!
I'm not sure I have it in me to get that excited about planting... But I do love flowers! :)
@ Sole - How about a grilled sole with garlic butter. Yummy.@ Daniel - ROFL at both "dirty subject' and "working in shifts". LMFAO.
Dipanjan wrote: "@ Sole - How about a grilled sole with garlic butter. Yummy."Are you suggesting he eat himself? o.O
That is all sorts of wrong.
How very Hannibal Lecter!
@ DoodleeePoo - when was the last time you got your psycho analysis done?
@Doodles: Not creepy at all. It is a full time job.
@ Daniel - And it seems "as per DoodleePoo" it's a thankless one too.
Dipanjan wrote: "@ DoodleeePoo - when was the last time you got your psycho analysis done?"Never! I'm not sure they have made a test yet that would accommodate me...
Dipanjan wrote: "@ Daniel - And it seems "as per DoodleePoo" it's a thankless one too."This one actually made me laugh out loud.. My friend in the other room not thinks I'm ever crazier that before... :D
There 's a Chatter thread for this, isn't there? Oh well, guess I will take my wet blanket and move along.
I didn't realize that friendly chat could be offensive. Last post here then I guess, I'll be in the chatter thread
It's not offensive. I come here to this thread to see who's joined and that increasingly means scrolling back... I don't see a point in having separate threads that serve the same purpose.However it's not the end of the world. Carry on and make merry.
No, no, by all means. Wouldn't want any new peeps to be overlooked.

You downloaded a book on your tablet, Daniel???
Oof, only just got time to unwind... a crazy mad hot day in the UK today! Looks like you folk have been busy!
Sean wrote: "Oof, only just got time to unwind... a crazy mad hot day in the UK today! Looks like you folk have been busy!"Sean, how many books did you end up selling the last couple of days?
MN Chris
A quick check shows 932, with still a day of the free offer to go, Chris! I'm thrilled to bits, I really am! I'm not sure that'll translate into actual sales when the offer ends, but it's amazing to think that so many people are reading your work. I hope they like it!
Holy cow, Sean! That is terrific! Well, we need to write reviews. That will sure help get the word out. I have some Q&A and other new author books to review, but then I'll do yours. It looks good! Thanks again for putting it out there for us.Chris
Sean's book on my phone using the kindle app you suggested. :)
Sue wrote: "Hi everyone, I'm Sue from the U.S. I love mysteries, and I'm happy to have found this group."Welcome Sue!
Thank you Chris, I'm looking forward to reading what the reviews will say!

But it's not an introduction !
I do not want to dampen the fun we have, especially if it is light hearted, and bring a smile to my face and others.
We do not want bad feeling between each other, especially when it is where we are inviting our new members to introduce themselves.
We have a chatter thread, created to talk about anything, and a thread created to talk about your hobbies and sports.
I know that some groups have lost many new members due to "bad feeling", I am proud we have gained members who felt it was more fun here, more friendly, please let's keep it this way.
One of main thrillers groups (one of the top three) has lost 30-40 members in two weeks due to this problem.
I do not want to upset anyone, but do not want to frighten our new members, let's attract and encourage new members.
I have had quite a few PM re this thread over the last 2-3 days.
This is sent with my sincere best wishes to ALL members, and I hope you understand why.
Holas Sean - I don't know about anyone else and I can only speak for myself. I am incapable of "laughing" only within a "laughing zone". Even in real life, I am incapable of doing that in a physical space. Let me take full responsibility of this. Almost 99% of the times, it is me who is responsible for taking any comment to a different tangent. I apologise to anyone who has sent you PMs. I will stop commenting any further as well lest I throw in another tangent. No more "hijacking of threads" from me. :)

Just joined - probably posting in the wrong topic, but hey ho.
I'm probably more of a crime fiction fan than thrillers per se.....but a good book's a good book regardless. I live in Leighton Buzzard in the UK. I love reading and chatting books and blog about what I've recently read and haven't read over here - http://col2910.blogspot.co.uk/
Looking forward to meeting a few new folks and chatting books. Hopefully I won't get too many new recommendations as my book shelves are already heaving!
Cheers, Col
Oh and good luck on not getting too many new recommendations... :p
Nah, Dips. Yesterday, when this came up I was one of the guilty parties, you are truly innocent. You kept saying you were the innocent type, who knew? Lol. But seriously, It was more organic than anything that this thread was fun. It is a natural place for fun to begin. It is a welcoming thread, welcomes are supposed to be fun not dour.
Moreover, an observation as to why many people join this thread, and more importantly, actively participate is because they are welcome with fun and laughter and who doesn't like that?
My hat is off to you, Sean, for creating a place like this.
