I have a feeling the latest people to disembark here are better looking.
Hello to all of you. I'm not going to single you out, but please introduce yourselves if you feel moved to do so.
Check out Port Authority at the top of the main page for a tour of the facilities. I don't know if this is covered in P.A. or not, so will mention it as it was something that escaped me the first time I used a proboards forum. That is, on the welcome banner (where it says Any Port in a Storm at the top of each page) you will see the message "Hey, so&so, you have xx messages, x are new." Duh -- I didn't know I had to click on the "xx messages" in order to access my Private Messages.

Oh, you are in the right place here, for sure Where are you from ? I am married to an Aussie, so Australia is a bit like my second home.

Whenever I talk with most Australians, they always say (tongue in cheek) "There's nothing over there. The only reason they founded Perth was to have a dot to put on the map."
The daughter of one of my colleagues is on a WHV in Australia, and Perth is where she started out, though. Then she worked in a bar in Nullagine for awhile before returning to Perth and driving to Melbourne with some friends. I am certain that she'll have an Aussie accent whenever she comes back, because it's already been close to six months.

Hello Pookie and welcome!
Any Port in a Storm just celebrated its two-month birthday, so we're all newbies here together. It's great to have someone with your range of interests here. Also great to have someone to educate everyone about Australia.

Thanks Bixa Tho I certainly wouldn't be a star if you saw the dumb thing I did with my computer today.

Whoops ~~ I missed seeing your reply. Dare I ask what you did? (keep in mind that I'm still having a little trouble typing because of having sliced off the top of my right index finger while pruning a plant ) I read what I wrote above, which was meant to be welcoming, but .......... maybe new people don't want to be made to stand up and give their vital statistics! So, lemme kick it off: Hi! I'm Bixa. I live outside Oaxaca, Mexico and am originally from the US. I'm retired and love reading, gardening, cooking, hanging out -- that sort of thing.

If I were new, I wouldn't want to be put in the spotlight. I would want to lurk some and see what is going on.
But Pookie is already our well appreciated star from Perth (or thereabouts...)

Bixa @ #76.....More to do with frozen brain cells than missing bits of finger. All i'm telling is it was to do with pictures to post on here I'll send PM I think you can help.

If anybody can help with that subject, Bixa can.
Meanwhile, I noticed that we got something like 4 new members yesterday. I hope they will dip a toe in the water and decide to dive in quickly.

Mine is a web handle I've used since I first started being on e-mail and internet, over 10 years ago, including on Thorn Tree a decade ago. When I was very, very small (two or three) I was convinced that I was actually a cat after observing my cousins' black kitten. I copied him in every way, from the way he ate to the way he washed his paws (this greatly dismayed my mum, as you can imagine).
A lot of you may know me from Thorn Tree. Dunno what to say.

Hi, I'm not really new but haven't been here in a while due to lack of time. Looks like the forum is going really well!
I have the same handle in most forums I post in. So if you see me in other travel or surf forums, you'll easily spot me.

No. God no! Although I can see how you may think that, with my tourettes like outburst. I don't actually think you're all fucktards. So SB... are you saying that some of us are, just not all of us???
