    Welcome all, new and old.
    The title says it all. Welcome to AMHD.

    There are a lot of long term members on this site, and we've all gotten to know each other very well. We were all newbies at one time, and throughout the years others have joined and we've gotten to know them as well.

    When I joined this was a huge site, so many members, a lot of long term members. I joined to ask a question, and then answered questions, and then started chatting with other members of this site. I was hooked, and it's now been 8 years.

    We love having new people join. We love getting to know people. Let us get to know you.

    So if this is your first post, your 100th post, your 1000th post, or your 20,000th post or more, come on in and chat, get to know the people on this site.

    Let's start with a game.

    I'll pick the letter B. I'll answer the following questions, and all the answers have to start with the letter B. If you post I'll give you a letter and you answer the same questions. Here it goes.

    Favorite move: Burlesque
    Favorite food: Burgers
    A person you know: Brent
    A place you'd like to visit: Bahamas
    How you describe yourself: Busty
    Favorite animal: Bunny
    Favorite drink: Beer

    And the game begins. :)

    My first victim, muwahahahahahahahahaha!

    Mogrann, your letter is M, because your name starts with M, and that's how creative I am right now. :)

    Just to refresh, you must now answer these question and all the answers must start with the letter M. Sounds easy, but it's really not:

    Step into my parlor little fly, said the spider. :)

    Your letter is C, because I'm that not original.

    I love Mash! Sadly they overdid it for so many years that I know every episode by heart, but it's been years now since I've seen an episode, so I miss it. I'm waiting for Netflix to get with the program and add Mash. :)

    Also love mashed potatoes.

    The rest... I can live without. No offense to Mitchell. ;)

    Netflix Canada sucks. A friend figured out how to get the US version, but it seems shady to me so I haven't done it. Guess I just have to wait.

    Now, if you're serious about visiting Canada, I know a few people (ME ME ME) that would love to have you and Cats visit. Come on down, or is it up? Geography has never been my strong point. Just don't come during winter. You''ll both die, and I love you both too much to see that happen. Summer is good. Summer is safe. You'll live!

    Then you're a party pooper, and I'll tell everyone that you're a party pooper, and everyone will know that you're a party pooper. If that doesn't work, I'll go to work discrediting your manhood.

    Much easier to play. :)

    I'd love that!

    Mash is more than just a show to me, it's a memory. My dad and I watched Mash together every week (back then it was weekly because it was new, and that's how old I am!). It reminds me of fun times with my dad.

    We also always watched the Muppet Show, Dad, mom and me, every Sunday. Rod and I have started buying the Muppet Show collection, and the kids love it. Mash, not yet. They don't get it. Doubt they ever will. Different era. :(

    Quebec! It's a place! It's in Canada! You could visit Quebec!

    The rest... yes, I made it tough, but you asked for it!

    I can't give you S, because of Odinn, so blame Odinn for this one.

    I won't be mean like I was with him, but I do have to be a bit creative.

    Your letter is V, and I know you can at least come up with a movie and a food that will go with that letter. :)

    Oh, and an animal. Vole! It's cute, trust me. Pick vole for your animal!

    Another add. Victoria, or Vancouver! Places. Both in Canada! One is where I need to go to get my stupid passport because I'm not Canadian. I could meet you there!

    No...no....the question wasn't "name a place with Q"....it was "a place you'd like to visit" that starts with Q...I have no interest in Quebec really so it would have been unfair to answer that. Just like, yes, I can name movies and foods that start with Q but based on the actual questions, no, they couldn't be answered as I have no favorites that start with such a letter. So there.

    Picky boy!

    Okay, not favorites. Obviously Burlesque isn't my favorite movie, not even close.

    For those OCD people that can only name actual favorites for the letters I give you, no need to do so. Don't stress yourselves out. Just an answer for that question with the letter I give you, will suffice. Don't make your brain explode because it's not actually your favorite.

    Relax. It's supposed to be fun, not stressful. :)

    They always are, they're kids.

    On that note, I'm giving you the letter K for Kinders and kids. :)

    Just remember that no letter is actually easy. K is better than Q or V. :)

    This is a tough one. The easy answer is D or C, but my brain is wanting to be original.

    I'm going to pick R. Why? I don't know! It just popped into my head! R it is. Still better than Q or V. :)

    Shazzy, still waiting on you! You got V. Not so easy is it?

    Vancouver for a place (ya it's in Canada). Vegemite (sp?) for food, Vole for pet. Seriously, I'm pretty much doing this for you! :)

    Want to add. I'm not combining all these posts into one post. I want to answer all of you with a post that's just about what you posted, but if I post after I posted and hit post, my next post is added to the previous one. Does that make sense?

    In other words, I'll post this, which is meant to be a new post, not combined with any other posts, but it will likely combine it to my last post unless someone else posts between my last post and this one. Or you have to wait a certain amount of time (no idea how long) before you can post again after a post you posted, without the site combining those post, even if you reply to someone that posted, which should make it a separate post!

    LOL! Ditto kiddo!

    You give me a hard time for the same reason I give you a hard time. But to be fair, on this thread you totally deserved it. :)

    Love Raiders of the lost Ark. Love the first three movies in that series. The fourth was okay. Better than the Mummy series. Loved all the movies but the last one in that series.

    Five hours drive and I'm in the Rockies. Amazing! I miss them all the time. Five hours drive isn't that much, but it's a long way when you don't have the money to travel and gas is uber expensive.

    Ragdoll cat?

    Like Root beer, love it even more without the root. :)

    Don't be shy, post away. I see 121 views of this thread, but only 26 posts. Post, it doesn't hurt, it's free, and it's fun. It's the best of all worlds.

    I double dog dare you to post! :)
