I haven't been a newbie in such a long time...

[jodi]

 

Just wanted to see what it felt like.  Any other newbies out there?

  Jodi

[alice oliver]

   me, me!  i'm a newbie, too! 

[jodi]

hey alice!  how old are you?  Do you play the piano?

    

[Nina_too]

I'm a newbie, too.  This is my first post on the Piano Forum.

Who is your favorite pianist and what is your favorite piano piece?   

[realitytest]

I'm sorry Ms. Nina but I'm afraid Ur in violation of this Board's protocol. "Anything BUT piano"!  Get it?  Can't U read??

Now,  what's your favorite gaming  forum? 
Alternatively, do U think it's OK to wear a "Spring" lipstick in the Winter?  I think Goths are lucky cuz they can get away with basic black lips year-round.

:-)

I just can't get into the black lips and nails thing.  I prefer green.

Hi fellow newbies! Whoa, I am so happy to see there are others out there.  I finally feel brave enough to post here.   

I have have a Maine and live in Seiler.

[jodi]

Oooh, you live in Seiler?  I think that's pretty close to Walter, isn't it?  Why, we're practically neighbors!

Jodi

[realitytest]

U sound a little utzyklay.

Say, Noob, are there any Noobists in Maine or is it too cold?

realityt.

Great!  I wonder if they throw piano parties around here.  BTW, you don't have one of those Washingtonians, do you?

[athykay]

We keep our Maines nice and chilly and at a constant and moderate humidity.  Apparel is highly recommended.

[Jack Appleseed]

Hay, I am a newbie too and -- coincidentially -- I am from Maine.  I play a Farfisa!  Glad to be here .... I feel kinda at home already!

[jodi]

Close.  Mine's a stencil.  A Pacific Northwesteinway.

    Jodi  

[jodi]

Ok, I am LAUGHING, Mr. Applesauce. 

 

[Jack Appleseed]

Jodi,

I LIKE you.  Hay, what's the deal with stars?  I've been here 10 minutes and still only have one!

ja

[jodi]

I dunno.  Is there a member rating function here?  Or does it have to do with the number of posts?

Jodi

[athykay]

I have a feeling it's a newby thing.

But, here's a cool thing about his site.  If your post was just preceded by another post, you get a little warning so you can stick in quote doohiggies or whatever.  Neat, huh?

[wynnbear]

Hey ladies!  Welcome!

I've been a member here for a while.  Axtremus posts here occasionally too.  Good to see new members at PF!

[Jack Appleseed]

Hay Wynnbear,

I should be the one welcoming you.  I have 21 posts and you have 18.

Glad to see you here.

Whachoo talkin' 'bout?  I got TWO as soon as I passed 25 posts.  Like I said, you are verbose.   

[athykay]

That's cuz he's trying to keep up with me, Wynn. Woops.  Better get my star ratings up there!

[Tash]

wow the newbies go post crazy oh i feel like such an oldie in this thread i think i shall just leave now...

[rachlisztchopin]

I eat newbies for dinner 

[athykay]

You're in for some indigestion [BURP!].  You know what they say about too much of a  good thing.   

[CJ Quinn]

I have cleverly altered my login name, I hope no one figures out who I am.

I am trying to start afresh, with no baggage.

[calidris]

I'm a newbie 
I'm obliged to add that I'm an unedible one...  Sorry!

[Nina_too]

Unedible, inedible, really what's the big difference...?

I too have also hidden behind a cleverly altered user id to avoid my baggage which I haven't exactly tried to get rid of, but I'm just tired of lugging around. 

I have a Freedom piano.

[calidris]

Hmm,

A spelling checker here would be nice... 
Inedible, inedible, inedible, ...  Ok, I shall remember that one forever!!!

The features here are great!

Is this readable???

Seems like it is!

Let's try to combine some!

This is fun!   

[kluurs]

Hi Jodi,

So you walk over here and think no one will recognize you??

I'm not sure if I know who you are, but I have an idea. Did you do a lot of volunteer work during the election?

[alice oliver]

hmoll, your aim is failing you.  care to recalibrate?

[calidris]

Did you do a lot of volunteer work during the election?

No...

[Hmoll]

hmoll, your aim is failing you.  care to recalibrate?

Gloat all you want (sorry, I know how sensitive you all are about the word "gloat"). I was almost batting 1000. Anyway, all your great minds together can't figure out who I am.

[Hmoll]

No...

Do you live in the same country as JazzyD from the PW forums?

[calidris]

Hmoll,

Are you iamcanadian? 

[Hmoll]

Hmoll,

Are you iamcanadian? 

No. Now answer my question.

[calidris]

Oh sorry, I overlooked it...
Just a minute, gotta go check out in which country he lives 

[calidris]

No, I don't live in the same country as JazzyD. 

[alice oliver]

hmoll,
are you curry?

[Hmoll]

hmoll,
are you curry?

No.

hmm, have to think about this Calidris person.

[athykay]

Okay, hmoll, I bite. There is someone registered at PW with your name, but with 0 posts, so probably not you, or you forgot your password and abandoned the name.  You clearly are a prolific poster in these parts.  You are also, no doubt, a serious pianist.  I'm guessing you're Brendan.  Do I get a cigar?

Nope. Not Brendan.

[chickering9]

Yes, she does.

(Well, her typing does, anyway.  )

[athykay]

Phlebas, um, I mean Hmoll, are you sure that Bernhard isn't Bernard?  I was reading a couple of his posts here, and they are just too similar.  And he joined here about the same time he left  there.  Please say I'm right.  That would sooo make my day.

[chickering9]

I'm a newbie 

One thing is clear, judging from the sig-line, "It works better if you plug it in...".  I've had the opportunity many times to say that myself to PhD's trying to make presentations to groups.  Can I safely assume you do not have a PhD and therefore that bit of wisdom did not escape you? 

[alice oliver]

athykay, i just don't see the similarity.  bernard is a wonderful pianist, but he is not the expert pedagogue that bernhard appears to be.

[chickering9]

No. Now answer my question.

Hmmmm.  Reading "Hmoll" as perhaps HMO II, and the form of that command, would you be Jolly?

[athykay]

Maybe I haven't read enough of Bernhard, but Bernard sure could wax eloquently about pedagogy.
