No longer is it allowed for so called "newbies" to say they are "newbies" and CAN'T give ADVICE....

speak your heart
speak your words
speak your mind....

it's all good.....

and if it was really bad...melody would tell ya so......and I....
Just KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your experiences
your thoughts
your support
your stories...

even those wrought of the most pain can be the words to reach someone...

no more do I want to read I'm not QUALIFIED to give opinions..

you are here...
and you may hold the key to freeing someone from something...

sometimes we speak to others EXACTLY what we our selves should heed or do.........

sometimes in helping another we find our own clarity...

so no more is anyone deemed unqualified...

find your strength....

you are all part of the greater story.......

and never ever fear...cause no one can be a worse speller or syntaxer as I when I am on a ranting roll......my brain is much faster than my eyes and fingers......

This how I always picture ark: her mind is roiling,bubbling,full of ideas and suggestion and every now and then(her responses) the lid is flipping open and closing and we get a glimpse of all that is going on in her head as it pours out onto post,segmented but every line a thought provoking release. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I agree with you ark.Everyone here can and should contribute( except OP of course <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />).But we should be careful to recognize those that aren't capable of giving the appropriate advice at the right time and reassure them and guide them.....I've see this happen a few times.

ME TOO!!!!! Lem, we are all anxiously awaiting your response. Forget the brain surgery, more important things i.e. Ark's mental image await you.

I think he must look young, perhaps even baby-faced, but with dark circles under his eyes. I always picture him as sounding like that one Dr. from Scrubs with the curly hair, long thin face, and blue eyes, who is always so cynical and sarcastic, yet hilarious.

I think LM is often that way at work, but tries to tone it down a little here so as not to hurt already bruised feelings.

Or I could be wrong. Who knows?

I never did post to that thread but Arkie, if you have any Butterfingers left, please send them my way. My kids are too old for trick or treat now and so their loving daddy didn't get any candy...especially his beloved Butterfingers.

It's funny. I have been using this wonderful site for almost 4 months and have gained a wealth of knowledge and understanding into affairs and the workings of a WS / BS.

So I don't consider myself a NEWBIE and I certainly don't consider myself an EXPERT. So what am I? Here goes the labeling.

Well said ark, no one should feel under qualified to comment and speak what the feel.

and.....

if you break ARK's LAW of The NEWBIE

the punishment will be clubbing about the head with stale candy bars ....

or .... better yet ... 7 hours of continuous riding on Disney's ~~~ It's a small world <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Personally I don't give a flying fig what lemon looks like - he labelizes people.

And I am so not into labels (well not the new, improved me anyway).

Are you listening Lemon?????? Wanna fight or sumpin? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
