Ten Forward Lounge - Miscellaneous General Chat & Welcome Thread

[rhubarbodendron]

I really don't want to say anything wrong on here. [...] I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the things on here I have read and such. So don't know when I will feel like answering someone.

welcome! Don't worry, we're a totally harmless and friendly bunch here. There is nothing wrong you could say. Just relax and be yourself (or someone completely different, if you prefer - that's one of the advantages of the internet's anonymity). And there's no hurry - we have many posters who visit only once per week (or every 5 years ). Don't be shy - your hubby can confirm that we are nice folks. Hmm, on the other hand: what wife can really trust her husband? I guess you'll simply have to try us out

LOL, ok slight correction: we are all nice and harmless, your hubby excluded

Would love to get my spouse here- he asks what I''m laughing about so often I've threatened to sign him up myself.

We're eventually going to tun into those ridiculous old people who have a joint account for everything for whom it's impossible to throw a surprise party.

The MiL has said it's probably best not to surprise the FiL at his age/health anyway.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

don't let Bonzie see that. shared accounts are strictly forbidden, even for couples. But get your hubby to sign up by all means! The more the merrier =)

 

[KimMH]

I didn't know that- thank you!

I'll continue to try!

 

[rhubarbodendron]

you're welcome I keep nagging that we should have a FAQ section where all the rules are displayed. It'd make things so much easier since even we oldtimers have to look up things occasionally.

There was an FAQ which I haven’t looked at in years and I am honestly no longer sure where to find it. I obviously need a refresher!

It's not in FAQ format, but the rules can be found here.

(Admittedly, the "no shared accounts" rule isn't mentioned there.)

 

[rhubarbodendron]

YAY! You're a darling, Avro! I've searched for more than half an hour and couldn't find it.
*bookmarks page*
eta: interestingly, the rule about account sharing isn't included in those rules. Either Bonzie forgot or it was lifted (I presume it's the first).

 

[KimMH]

thank you!

I really don’t want to share an account with mister kim. this one is mine! All mine!

 

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

Thank you for all the welcomes!

Congratulations, by the way: you have 11 posts and 34 likes. That is propably a record for a newbie

 

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

I may have set a record, so cool thanks I feel so honored

 

[Silvercrest]

And this is why the guy never gets promoted.

 

[Mrs. Silvercrest]

I feel so happy! I have 51 likes and I got a trophy! I never had a trophy before! I wonder what it looks like? I am glad someone likes me or at least my thoughts

 

[rhubarbodendron]

This is the trophy system:
