Welcome to the Cafe!

[CanDB]

Great post, as always CanDB!

Your comment about the importance of properly welcoming new members... that's exactly how I felt then, how I feel now, and how I remember feeling when I first started posting.

Your story reminds me of my early days as well. Javalon, TheDarkKnight, Reidman, Emancipator... those were some of (but not all) my early influences. I was and am very proud to call them my friends, as well as all the friends I made along the way.

Thank you for not taking offense. It helps to assuage the guilt a bit.

As for your thread style... you be you. Don't change due to real or perceived outside pressure. (If *you* feel like changing, then do that!)

Ah... I've missed you guys.

I will chat a bit more with you, because this is meaningful to me. Not expecting you to hang around too long on this topic, but whatever works!

Yes, I remember the respect I had for your team. And I wondered, are these folks all sci fi gurus or what??? Actually made me feel safer, because those type of dudes are usually pretty much open to anything! And the fact you were writing your own script/book (sorry if I mix them up). It was so interesting.

And of course the regular members. I will not delve into details, because I do not know what or why or how. But I sure miss the feeling I had when I started to become partners in crime with some. I felt so good back then!! In fact, for years I felt good, because I would look forward to creating threads, just based on what popped into my head during my activities. Whether I was working, or at the gym, or anywhere...I would get an idea and jot down the key points so that I was ready to pump out a story on my laptop later.

And who will forget those battles between Rav and gang! I tried to steer clear. Pages of argument....BUT, lots of support info!

Can you believe I was pushing around the idea of us having a Broncos Country "convention" of some sort, in Denver. Some speeches, some dinner and drinks, some guest appearances. I had visualized that a Bronco or a coach or someone from the organization would show up...maybe even with a gift or two. I mean it, I was talking it up with a couple of others. I don't want to say who, because I am forgetting that part. Possibly Joe. Sorry to anyone if I have forgotten you. I don't want to assume or leave folks out.

I miss some of the way we were back then, for sure.

But glad you came back today....nice trip down memory lane.

Great times, great times!

Yeah, absolutely. The details are all hazy, but the warm fuzzy (usually, ) feelings are not hazy. I have great memories of this place... just that my prescription sucks and I can't make out the details.

Nothing will ever recreate or compare to those times for me.

This place is amazing. I'm glad it's here, and I'm really glad that it's still active, and best yet... the Cafe is going strong. I'm so very proud.

Don't want to interrupt your conversation. But, Hi !

[LordTrychon]

I see you, Peanut... come say hi...

[Peanut]

I see you, Peanut... come say hi...

You still have your powers.

[LordTrychon]

LOL!

I was too slow. Dang.

[LordTrychon]

You still have your powers.

How are you? How's the weather there 'Back home'?

[Peanut]

LOL!

I was too slow. Dang.

By half a second?

Glad you're doing well. And I glad we still have this place, especially with the current situation.

[Peanut]

Doing good, thanks. We're actually having a spring this year.

Yes. Half a second is too slow. By half a second.

We got a new place in Oct. We have woods and stream in our back yard.

Definitely enjoying our spring.

We're posting on top of each other. We even took a break at the same time.

Nice! We have "woods" across the street and the only stream we get is when it floods. I'm liking your place better.

Still in sync after all these years.

I bet you're faster to delete posts than me now though.

Well, the stream was dry when we moved in. Knew it would fill up from time to time, but really didn't know how much or when. (Other than the obvious... it rains all the time here). It filled up a few weeks later and hasn't been empty since.

A few weeks ago we got little fish in there! We were shocked!

Yesterday (I think) I saw a Great Blue Heron in there fishing. Amazing. We are so blessed.
