@valmnz It probably took me a little longer than that, but not much.

Thumbs up for a verse that makes sense (and scans and rhymes properly!)

It's so long ago that I've forgotten! I came here from Yahoo Answers, so I was somewhat familiar with the discussion format. I think that it only took me two or three days to begin to feel at home and possibly a week - no longer - before I was hooked!

@jaboUK @Owlwings Yes, respects and gives crap to and teases mercilessly and has fun with and is interesting to talk with on many different subjects and .... on and on and on and.... etc. eternally, as far as I have so far ascertained! I very much suspect you are correct, Janet. (I also suspect that if we were to be talking in person, both of you would have me enthralled with your English accents!) I do so love to play with accents... Uhm... I kinda think I can do a fairly good English "Posh" (as Janet calls it) accent I learned from an elderly woman when I was young.

I was here years ago, but the site is very different now than it was back then. So, I both felt at home and in a new place all at the same time. But I think that most people have settled in quite comfortably and it's working out very nicely.

Thanks for remembering @jaboUK. @DaddyEvil My schedule depends on my available time at work and at home. The moment my kids say Daddy let's play, I have to drop everything including my laptop. No wonder it's scratched and dented from the drops I made. I digress again. I manage people at work. I only get to see myLot when everything is already running smoothly, which only happens before the actual work starts and before going home. But I'm committed to find time to discuss and respond as myLot helps me divert my attention and relieve stress.

I was thinking about you a couple of days ago and wondering when you would be back again.

Do you have a schedule you go by or are you just here whenever you can get away from everything else?
