Hello all.
I'm finally going to introduce myself and come mostly
out of lurkdom. I did chat with some of you about
two weeks ago during a Friday nite chat. It was fun.
Hopefully some of you will remember me. (I fell off
twice. Kind of klutzy) I'd like to say a very big
thank you to all of the members of this board for
the never ending issues that provide me with entertainment,
information and some thought provoking comments.
I'm mostly part owl so most of my reading is late
at nite - after midnite mostly. I read the disney
boards on various sites and I do like the boards
that allow spirited discussions where one can speak
freely within reason without being sent to exile.
We don't get to WDW too often. I try for every three
years. We were there in August and I'd love to go
back. Chicago is -25 WC @ O'Hare this morning, so
that should speak for itself. Thanks again for all
the fun and information especially the security blanket
forum.
Lurk at ya later!

Welcome Anna 
I always wondered why somebody didn't do something
about that. Then I realized I was somebody. --Lily

Hi Anna!
We've got some good people on this board from your neck
of the woods, plus a bunch from a superior state,
Michigan!
But borders don't seem to matter today; it's cold everywhere!
Did you see me at EPCOT on New Years Eve? I was
wearing a yellow poncho... |

That's because you're getting a free preview of Purgatory!
Take a look around. Is there a big guy with wings and a
halo guarding the gate? And it'll get a lot warmer unless
you quit busting people over the skull with a skillet for
no good reason!

Hello again Anna!!
BTW, Janie, I can skip around the block too, but I have
to wear my football cleats to do it...
Who says my college clothing no longer fits...

Purgatory? Big guy with wings? Lemme check! (steps outside
for a minute then comes back in) Nope--I see a big guy
in a maroon polyester tuxedo singing "Staying Alive" as
he holds a sign that says "Dante's Limo-first class ride
to seventh level."

soul from the hellish damnation of eternal disco. !

Welcome from
another fellow Chicagoan. Watch out for Janie and
her collection of household appliances that cause
bodily harm. I believe we are all having HOT chocolate
today.

Good to see

up a log, and huddle around the fire with us.

Hi Anna! Welcome
to Common Ground! We are always glad to make new
friends, and hope you like it here. Be sure to look
around, and check out the other forums.
And, in case no one told you, any and all chocolate goes
to me, not Janie. It is one of the only rules around
here. You see, because I am the queen, I always get my
way. I am a kind and gentle queen. Well, until I don't
get my way, then you have to walk the plank.

Thank you all
for the warm & toasty welcome! Actually my name is
Anne, however, anna works best. I've learned to answer
to most variations of Anne. I'm not sure why that
name was hard for so many people. Anna and Annemarie
and Annie kind of stuck. So....anna. It's easy. No
confusion. By the by, I'm familiar with Janie from
the AOL disney board. The off topic portion is called
the moat now and not as much fun to read and sometimes
answer anymore. They're very nice over there but
it doesn't get too lively. Lively is good. I'm going
to have a difficult time sharing that chocolate.  Hmmm,
don't know about sharing the chocolate. Just got
a nice box of Godiva waiting to be opened. Share
or wind up with a really big ass? Sometimes life's
not fair. Share it is.  Hot
chocolate sounds good too. What are we spiking it
with?

YIKES! Nothing bad I hope! (scrambles
back on the ship and wrings the water out of my clothes)
Gee Francine! There was no need to get so POSESSIVE over
your chocolates. I'm gonna hide in crows nest and sulk!

Sorry Janie, should have been more specific. I know you
from the AOL Dis OT board when breakfast mess was really
beginning to snowball. The Hitler remark put me over the
edge and I wrote to ACLU and another letter to WDW. Believe
I sent you a link to ACLU. Not sure. I mostly lurked but
responded or piped up when I couldn't stay quiet much longer.
Let me pick a nice Godiva for 'ya for the misunderstanding.
Dark choco or milk? I've got a selection!

GASP! ANNAMARIE!!!! (hugs Anna) Of course I do remember
you and thank you for sending me the link so I could voice
my concerns and yes, I contacted them twice. How are everybody
back on AOL-Dis board? I no longer have an AOL account
and do miss everybody there. Please tell them that I said
Howdy! and for them to BEHAVE!!!
Now....do I hafa pick JUST one piece of chocolate? I need
more than that 'cause I'm a big girl.

Lively is good. anna
Oh I remember you!
And you are right- the moat is way too quiet!
That's because all the loud mouths came here.

Me too! It seems such a simple name, but everyone seems
to have a problem with that silent "e" at the end, they
either want to pronounce it or add to it. I think adding
a clear syllable at the end (whether anna for you or annie
for me) makes life simpler for everyone else .
