Ha! We're a bunch of enablers so I don't know how much help we'll be. :D Oh, and we frequently vandalize each other's threads with inanities so be prepared.


message 52: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah, I figured. It's not like you don't know me. :D Glad you're here, especially since I pretty much avoid Facebook for the most part these days. Feel free to stop by my 2013 Challenge thread, and I even have a 2014 thread already started.

Are you sure we're enablers? With all the recommendations it's hard to stay focused.

alansplace | 13 comments I tried to leave an intro yesterday, an error occured when I pressed the 'post' button and I lost the entire intro post, which frustrated me a lot and so I left in disgust. Sorry! I'll now try again (with safeguards in place so that I won't lose the post if another error occurs)! So here goes!

HELLO! My name is Alan and I'm identified as alansplace (the name of my long defunct BBS. It had one single dedicated phone line and a single sysop, me.) on MR as well as here on GR. I'm not usually one to join groups but at the urging of Christa I've decided to join here. I've got enough of my own challenges that I don't believe that I need any more, if that's ok.

Hi Alan! Glad to have you over here!

No one is required to participate in any challenges. Feel free to participate as little or as much as you like. Every member does whatever works for them, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 3289 comments Welcome all!


@Alan - what browser do you use? I have an add on for Firefox called Lazarus. It is a form recovery add on and its recovered things I was about to post many a time!

HomeInMyShoes | 2759 comments Welcome Alan. I'm sure you'll be unable to resist some of the challenges soon enough. Or better yet, try to suck us into your challenges. I'm always looking for new ways to make me read different things.

Glad to see you're here. I'll keep your idea of sucking others into my challenges in mind.

The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike #1) by Robert Galbraith (Pseudonym), J.K. Rowling

Anybody aware of this? Anybody interested? Any discussion? :)

Is there a more correct or better place to have posted this?

So are there any answers buried in the above responses to any of my questions?
