Hi there.

I signed up a while ago on this website, but always kept to myself. I decided to change that because.... well... I don't know. I'm probably hoping that someone will talk to me, but I don't mind if you chose not to. I don't even know how this works, this is the first time I'm doing something like this...

First of all welcome to DS! The phrase "Pardon the dust, Remodel we must!" comes to mind.

This site has gotten a major rework, and they are still working the bugs out of it. Hopefully it will settle down soon.

By all means, yes, post, reply, poke around! They have changes the way settings work, so many things that wer open are now closed and you have to officially establish friends with somebody to see their stuff. Take your time, get to know people on the boards. Replying to other is a great way to get started.

It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
