Welcome to the Forum - Newbie Treats :)

Post by Starlette » Tue Oct 28, 2014 12:11 pm

Once again, I pop in and there are so many newbies. I still remember towards the end of 2012, it was just the old timers hanging out. To this day, I still don't know if that is a good thing or bad. Just means more folks have been diagnosed with sleep apnea; find this forum & discover help/information is made available. Anyway to all those that are new to the forum, I have prepared a chocolate milk bar, including cinnamon peppermint schnaaps and the infinite chocolate chip cookies which are ALWAYS freshly made coming straight out of the oven. Enjoy!

PS....
Newbies first, old timers at the end of the line regarding posts.
Newbie: Less than 25 posts
Old Timers: 26 posts or more
Changed my mind on defining a newbie. Before, I classified newbies as close to 1 post as possible. Now I'm decreasing the number to 25 (previously 50, udated 11/05/2014. No more updates). Trying to be fair.

NOTE
When you arrive at the chocolate bar, please register your user name on this tread. Then my post will return back up to the top for other newbies to stop by the welcome wagon.

NOTE TO OLD TIMERS: You want to get a second treat? Back of line for you.

Hell no. Newbies need to get out of my way. Of course, you post this picture when I am having big time cravings for junk food.

I've heard rumors of Starlette's cookies... probably a good choice on your part

palerider = end of the line for you
TowneSA = first in line

Allow me to define "newbie" and "old timer"
Newbie = 50 posts or less
Old Timers: 51 posts or more

If you hadn't noticed, ems knew which line she fell under
So by definition palerider, you know which line you get to stand in right?

NOTE: Changed definition of old timers and newbies Sunday, 11/02/2014

Old Time " 101 posts or more
So I went to check and I fall into the old time with 101 posts. Now that is not fair as I've only been on the machine 44 days. So I think we need to change the rulles!!! How about:

Newbie = up to one year on your machine
Old Timer = more than a year.

I would even go say that if you are on a new machine it could start all over again.

I'll pass on the chocolate but stay in line for cinnamon peppermint schnaaps.

Not so Ogeo, peppermint schnaaps is used as "a flavoring" to hot chocolate, not stand alone. This is not a bar mind you. 21 and under are allowed here.
If you want stand alone peppermint schnaaps, well, you'll need to go to the next building at the end of the block.

I'm sorry Ogeo. The line is drawn on the posts, not on machine usage.

That is okay. I want mine in a cup of hot tea since I can't have chocolate. Since everyone else is having chocolate, I'll bring my own tea bag if you provide the hot water.
