Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! The registration problem was my fault since i used 2010 as my age. I am told that I don't look my age, but NO ONE would believe that I am under 10! lol! Remember the 5 year old who wanted to cook with Ina and she turned him down - maybe I was trying to top him!
Anyway, you have been very welcoming and speaking for me (and maybe my friends from the other site too) we appreciate that. This site is large and packed with info. I am very excited to be here. I will also say that when Peep mentioned coming here, I was intrigued because it is good to belong to more than one group, and I feel that Peep is/was a good reference. Those of us who have moved here like to post.
Norm, WELCOME! I am so glad you are ok! By, the way folks, Norm has a restaurant background and is very helpful and shares information freely. Good guy!
Think I will make a comment about Tourist, then let it be....he is probably his own enemy. A bright guy with the potential to bring alot of info to the forum, but he is too wrapped up in his own universe and appears to not be very interested in anyone's opinions other than to argue. There were lots of things about him that I found annoying but his answers and agitating comments were just too much for many of us and we began to respond to the posts. What was most upsetting to me was that we were scolded like children for not being accepting of a new member. Let me assure you, that was not the case. Anyway, he continued because he could until the masses rose up and voiced displeasure and apparently that was not appreciated by the moderators. Strangely enough, Tourist would brag about being banned from previous sites and that he would probably be banned from the new site, and in the next breathe he believed he would be made a moderator. Wow, see all the confusion?
Again, thanks for the welcome and open door!
