Hey Gang!

For those of you who know me from a past life, please know that I want this to be a positive destination. Life is short. Keep it figgy....

For those new here.... yes, this is a place to learn and connect with people who have some real experience growing figs.... but also a place to enjoy and have a few laughs while keeping things light.

Let this thread be the place where new members can feel free to introduce themselves.

Welcome, Fig Fanatics!

Hey everyone.... I can't tell you how much it makes me happy to see you here. Recent days have been overwhelming and I'm still figuring so many things out. For now.... have a look around and get comfortable :)
 
I'm realizing quickly that there are certain people that I just can't accept as being a "Newbie". Please give me some time.

IN any case Howdy There. :D

I never liked that term...before the internet I never heard anyone use it:

" "newcomer, new person to an existing situation," by 1969, from new with diminutive or derogatory suffix. Perhaps originally U.S. military slang. Compare noob. Middle English had newing "a new thing" (early 15c.); new was used as a noun meaning "naval cadet during first training on a ship" (1909); and newie "new thing" is recorded from 1946. "

Just so long as WE know we are not "N--bie" I think I can put up with it...forum software is forum software.
