An Actual Introduction Thread
Oh, well...LG had her own way.
Have you tried PMing her? Is she still on FB? Send her a note Suz.

I don't know as we are not friends on FB. Actually, we are not technically friends on here.I let people contact me. I don't like to go where I might not be welcomed or wanted.
Oh for pitty sake. How's she meant to know she's missed if no one tells her?
Just sent her a message. She can reply or not, come back or not, friend you (as I told her specifically that you missed her) or not. As she will.
Actually, Lobstergirl is still here on GR. I posted a thread not too long ago on another group about forgotten books and she was the one commenting on my thread, trying to help me out. I knew the pictures looked familiar. So she's still around GR.
Yes, I sent her a message. But, I don't think she is still a member of TC, for some reason. I looked under members as she was always among the tippy top of members when sorted by number of comments. She was not to be seen on page one. That could not be, if she was still in TC.
I get GR updates from LG just about every other day. She's still very active, just not with us.
When I first joined this group, I think I formed my opinion of it as fair and tolerant in large part because of Lg's posts. She disagreed without being disagreeable.She stopped posting after I started the Fodder for the Corner Joint thread, so I'm probably the reason she left. That wasn't my intention.
If you're still checking in here from time to time, Lg, I hope you'll consider rejoining the discussion. You're missed.
Hi, I am fascinated in researching ancient literature, my wife would probably say to an excessive amount. I'm currently the co-Director of the Siduri's Advice Archival Initiative (SidurisAdvice.com) and working on an update of my last book "The Epic of Gilgamesh, the Teachings of Siduri and How Siduri's Ancient Advice Can Help Guide Us to a Happier Life". Also trying to get tenure at a high pressure top tier university, raise a healthy and happy daughter and keep my wife "delighted in my embrace" (an inside joke for those knowledgeable of Siduri)...
Hello! My name is Emily Dardaman. I'm a first year college student, bookaholic, and lazy writer. I've been published online and in the local paper. I love my bands, TV, movies, photography, designing posters, and dumb puns.
Few of my favorite things:
Movie-- Fight Club
Book--Watchmen
Show--Like Misha, I'm a Doctor Who fan (one of the really awful foaming-at-the-mouth varieties).
Happy to be joining the group. Nice to meet you all :)
Welcome to the group, Emily and Sahith!
Welcome, Emily and Sahith! The God of Small Things is an amazing book.
Hi everyone! my name is Bethany, hailing from the 'Pearl of the Orient', Philippines~I am so glad to be a part of the group. Hope to learn a LOT from all of you and also make new friends! ^_^
Fave read as of the mo' is "The Fault In Our Stars" by John Green.
Hi, Bethany. Welcome to TC!:)
Hello everyone!! My name is Alissa and I'm 31 (outwardly, inwardly i still feel like im 19 and act like it.... but a mature 19 not an obnoxious 19). I live in Buffalo NY, born & raised. Home of the chicken wings, where a president got assassinated, a crappy hockey team and an even crappier football team. But I still love my hockey team- Go Sabres!I have been married for 3 years and in July 2013 I had my first child, a daughter named Amelia. She is feisty and loud and very opinionated already, and I love that. I hope to learn a lot from her!
I looooooooooooooooooooove books (duh, why else would I be here?!). I try to read as much as possible but with a baby its definitely more difficult, so I try and get lots of Me time in. I join groups because I love being exposed to different books and authors that maybe I have never heard of before. I have many favorite authors, including Stephen King, Lauren Oliver, Jodi Picoult, JK Rowling, Cassandra Clare... I have more favorite books than authors, and i enjoy reading YA, paranormal, fantasy, horror, mystery, comedy, etc.
Please feel free to make fun of me- I make fun of myself several times a day.
Maybe we need to introduce Miss Havisham to Doctor Fankenstein, to liven this place up a little.
This thread could be anything you want it to be Mike. Let's pretend it's an introduction thread though anyway. Welcome to the group. :)
Jolly good.Hi Gail and Barb.Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste (well, taste, anyway). I started out as a journalist in London, was a traffic broadcaster for a while and reported on the fishing industry too. (An exciting job.) Then I became an overseas development volunteer. After living in eight or nine countries I wound up in New York, editing audit reports for a living. I am not sure quite how that happened. Thank you for welcoming me to the group.
I had a peek at your profile. You've been busy Mike. But shweps! Editing audit reports? What crime did you commit to be punished with a job like that? We have some parallels. I grow up in a small fishing village, my dad was involved in the industry, and I've been responsible for creating financial statements that require audit reports. Although I suspect the audit reports you were editing were of a different nature. :)
Gail, I really don't know how I ended up editing audit reports. I believe I may have tortured Bambi to death in a former life.Where was the fishing village in which you were brought up?
Here's some nostalgia https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...
Killing Bambi would do it every time. :)
The village is on the north coast of NSW Australia. Very poignant photos.

Welcome, Mike. Anyone quoting the Stones is a friend to me.
Thank you, Carol. I am old enough to remember their entire career :-(
Dang-it I always miss those sort of references. I never was a stones fan.

It isn't that I don't like them. When I hear their music I like what I hear. When I was young, i didn't know they existed, and I simply haven't gotten into them since. Thanks to my parents I grew up in a music void. The only music I heard about was what my friends talked about at school, the stones never made it into the conversation. I wasn't allowed to socialise outside of school. I was taking to my son about it today. All he said was "your parents were weird". Hard to disagree with that. :)
When I was growing up in England in the 1960s, people tended to be either Stones or Beatles fans. It had a lot to do with the image someone wanted to project. I think they're both still worth listening to today.
I wrote an ENG 101 paper on becoming a Stones fan after going to a concert. My professor had little knowledge of the Stones and thought my title "Please allow me to introduce myself" was too polite for a paper about them. He probably missed every clever reference I made about England's newest hitmakers.
I suppose he did. Frustrating!Academia has moved on. I actually have a friend who teaches a course on punk at NYU... Mind you that's history itself now, isn't it!

Christ, 37 years since that magical summer of '77. I. Am. Ancient.

I remember that summer. That must make me ancient as well.
Anarchy at Terminalcoffee. With a cane. Sigh . . or was that with Aleve?
Age doesn't kill you. It is stopping that does that deed!
Indeed, ageing is an attitude of mind.Perhaps I should dress in a bin liner and get a mohican, and walk round gobbing on everyone. Then I'd be 20 again.
Hmm, I don't understand any of that. Does that make me ancient or a babe?
It might mean you are more familiar with the US version of punk than with the rather disgusting UK original.
I thought UK slang was part of it. I really liked Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb.
I remember when all the girls at school thought Shaun Cassidy was a total heart throb.

Hi,
My name is Annette (although I am contemplating spawning off a number of pseudonyms for various writing pursuits). I am terminally addicted to vast quantities of coffee-- made via a french press and whitened with almond milk. I typically have 3-4 books I am reading at any given moment. I am a writer of poetry and speculative fiction.
I once recorded Shaun Cassidy's "Da Doo Run Run" over a rap song on a roommate's cassette tape. Then her boyfriend made her play it over and over all around Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In a convertible. With the top down.
