Attempting first post. Am I present?

Oh! Wow. I see you, too, RedViper. Never thought I'd make it onto Discord, so I'm happy to greet you!

NAVIGATING?! Wow. You're WAY ahead of me -- I counted logging on as a "success"! Why am I so "out of it" when it comes to the Internet today. Could I possibly be "that old"?!

LOL. Thanks for the supportive comment. I USED TO be up to date, but have been distracted for 2-1/2 years now (since the election, in fact!) so I'm not up to the minute. Seems unfair, since I was doing pretty well, keeping up -- until then

@tattered flag -- Or "may NOT be" -?

Keep talkin', @tattered flag ! I really need the encouragement!

Oh, yeah @tattered flag -- I KNOW how to do THAT-! LOL

@crashhacker I tried to text you about the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance -- translates to Greek / Hebrew every single word in the Bible. I think you were asking about something like that...

@tattered flag Yes! I am! (I'm embarrassed at how happy this makes me -- Thank you again, 'flag!)

oh crap: emojis

One day, I shall be the one offering assistance to new Discord users.... You have inspired me, @tattered flag

Sure! @tattered flag -- you could start by explaining the message that flashed in the bottom right of my screen: was that a DM?

@Rick Bulow : hello! You may know me as "DogsAtPlay"... What's your article about?

@tattered flag Wait. I see 9+ messages in the Discord avatar, but how do I get there to see them?

Yes @tattered flag There are 39 in the PSB icon; 2 in a blue happy face; and 2 in a flag icon now

Well, folks! I believe I have mastered the "art of DM-ing"! Not bad for a newbie!

LOL! Thanks, @tattered flag ! I do feel rather "cool" now...

Ah! I love the confidence I'm getting from ya

ya'll...

Two days from now, I'll have a cheap headset from walmart! @Groot -- I'm "DogsAtPlay" online, and have a pic for that -- but I've been b2 (b squared) for more than 20 years , so... there's that.

Really? @tattered flag ? I mean, REALLY? Let's see it! (Along with detailed instructions on how to make it my avatar, pls)

@Ron wood okay -- you lost me there

@Ron Ward -- that as for you

@tattered flag Where did that pic go? I saw it on this chat -- but can you send it again before you go?

Wait! @tattered flag I can't see your avatar in the left column... How do I get to the DMs that we've had without having to DM you anew?

ohhhh.... sorry. @tattered flag -- take the rest of the night off. You have helped me enormously. Thank you soooo much!

I was gifted a new avatar this evening, for I am... B2!!

That's thanks to tattered flag @Groot !

"Birth of an Avatar" <-- sounds like a movie!

LOL @Groot ! Yes, the more, the merrier -- AND the more POWERFUL!

I am a talented writer, but better editor and have too much time on my hands... Give me something to do before I get myself into trouble!

I'm a professional writer (30+ years) BUT a better editor -- and I specialize in helping writers (engineers) "mean what they say". In other words, I can help the writer make sure his message is clear and understandable... IF/WHEN I get "approved" by PSB, I would be happy to help writers "polish" their work for publication.

So many people are saying it's man-made, NOT at Cat 5 hurricane, and some even suggest it isn't a "real" hurricane-! What's the concensus in here?

Well, manmade or "natural", a Cat 5 hurricane is nothing to sneeze at. (Do people even SAY that anymore?)

@Groot I know! But I spent most of the afternoon watching videos that are absolutely POSITIVE that microwave heating is steering Dorian along the coast. I dunno. I believe "they" have weaponized the weather, but... am I sure? Not really.

@KLATU Yeah. Like I said, manmade or natural....

I have "hurricane anxiety" after Harvey took everything... I'm compelled to investigate ANYTHING to do with hurricane weather and flooding... So I have the nagging fear that "THEY" do control the storms. Don't judge me; I'm "storm damaged". (lol)

@KLATU -- Thank you so much for that! I have LONGED to be recognized as part of the Q Army!

Counting on it @KLATU ! I do trust our POTUS. And by god! I love that man!

Well, 'embarrassed to admit to "left-leaning tendencies" prior to the election... and then, didn't pull my head out for the first TWO YEARS of POTUS' term... Late to the party (as usual), but oh! what an EPIPHANY, what a glorious AWAKENING it was, when I finally realized what was/is really happening.! It's a bloody miracle.

@Groot NO SH*T!! I love that so much about POTUS! He's a Master Troll!

@Page I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers tonite, f'sure! Bless you!

"Go far... stay long... return slowly..." <-- plague advice; also pertinent today-!

(They are showing off for the newbies -- like me @Notsoperfect)

So... I left a message in the "talent wanted" chat room, saying I'm available for writing/editing services. What else should I do to "get on the team" or get "approved" or whatever, so that my many gifts may be shared -?

@Groot Thanks. I'll do that. And... I don't look at other people when I'm out eating alone, so I just assume they don't look at me! "Nothing to see here."

Very interesting, @Notsoperfect... Tell me, have you ever eaten in front of a MIRROR? THAT'S a trip!

Great. Now I've got that tune in my head.... "that watch the girls go by... eye to eye..." EAR WORM!

I'm with you! Ya'll! No mirrors!

You shoulda' heard the LIES my mirror was trying to tell me today -- !

Is Zach a "crisis actor" or not?

@Page I always wanted to marry a drummer.... I didn't, tho

I was hearing today that Zach Voorhies was/is a "crisis actor" -- What's that about?

@Page -- Hmmm. Maybe why I can't seem to dance with my husband -- WHAT BEAT is he moving to??

So...the BAND... I can only play bodhran (Irish drum -- since I didn't marry a drummer) BUT I have a great deep voice for singing--? Can I be in THE GREAT AWAKENING?

Big hug!!! @Groot

Hey -- my "best" song is "You Belong to Me" (Jo Stafford version) so... let's not judge!

Okay. Seriously, @Megaquake -- That's bad news re: Vorhies.

Question: How do I find another, specific discord user?

Thanks @Groot @Page -- Does that search return only CURRENT users (people online), or ALL users?

Oh wait. Are you guys saying our names change color as we advance thru levels? smh @Notsoperfect @Groot

Okay. One more question: How're you guys adding the emojis directly to people's posts?

OMG! I got it!

Mmmm! Chocolate covered .... anything! Good for the spirit!

@Page I'm flattered-!

Sharing is over rated.

overrated

"Virtual sharing." And dark chocolate is GOOD for you! So it's not fattening at all! Cuz... it's GOOD for you! And it's chocolate.

@Notsoperfect -- Now that's just cruel! dangit! I'm so hungry right now...!

Not saying that I'm easily "led anywhere", but... thanks for the taco @Notsoperfect It's good.

So, we're new to the country life after Harvey, but everyone around here grows grass (not the good kind). I know nothing of what's along my fenceline except a little honeysuckle... I want fruit trees and chickens and a horse and maybe a cow

I was DM-ing @Notsoperfect.... Let me scroll back...

Oh no. No, that wasn't funny. It WAS flat.

Oh @Notsoperfect You are so sweet. you KNOW Bill Binney has everything-! You can't "delete" anything, silly thing!

Is any/everyone else listening to the PSB broadcast too?

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil -- w/Kevin (Ew!) Spacey

No, wait -- It was House of Cards with Kevin (Ew!) Spacey -- when he was "defending the Georgia peach"

@Page That's so cool! Um, not that I care about celebrities or anything. But that IS pretty cool!

@Nurse Nett That's an interesting idea! I left hand-written Q's in Houston Hobby airport and St. Louis -- including inside a copy of Mike Obama's book "Becoming" (interesting title - just sayin'). I felt like a ninja -- and a patriot -- even tho no one probably saw them...

@RedPill_NY @Spiritual Ops Please post again when you get answers! I too, wanted to contribute a music suggestion, but haven't heard back beyond, "okay. we'll see what can be done."

OMG you guys!! I just wandered off this page and went far, far away into the discord site, and then I couldn't get out and I didn't know where you were or where I was, and ... oh. wow. That was intense! But it's cool. I"m back now. I'm good.

Thanks @Notsoperfect You are SO perfect!

Can "anyone" (me) post links in here? Because I have a link to a very cool wind currents map that shows "real time" global view of wind currents. That's all.

A mesmerizing view of wind currents, "live": https://ps247.link/FQQ8

@Groot @KLATU Done, and done! Thank you both for your guidance!

@Page Oh! You have to try the pick-up option!! Order online and then go pick them up! It's SOOO much easier!

Oh. well. It's Walmart. Whattaya want? @Page Gnite!

@Groot Right?

I got 100% compliance last time -- well, they added "Orange ICE" (the beverage) when there were no ORANGE-S

Mmmm! PANCAKES... You guys! Stop it!

Point of Personal Privilege: Will you PLEASE stop referencing FOOD because I am EASILY TRIGGERED and YOU are making ME hungry!

Oh no. Am I going to drop a level because of a bad joke?!

yeah @Notsoperfect But see how you just GAINED a level with that one? hahaha!

What a terrible thing @Ron Ward ! I'd hit the Benedryl for stings like that! YIKES!

Sorry to be "eavesdropping" on this -- but wow! That's dangerous! @Ron Ward @Notsoperfect

Where were they hiding?

@Groot I know! It's so beautiful, isn't it?

Thank you, sir! @Ron Ward

See, yellow jackets are tricky because they nest on the ground, where you don't expect them-!
