Looking for a "book club" to stir the mind a bit. I'm a lumber trader myself so you can guess the mental stimulation has to be sought outside of the office. Consider myself to be a bit of a pantheist. Might encourage a few distant friends to join so that there is at least some degree of familiarity in the group.
Looking forward to seeing where the discussions lead.

Welcome to the community!

You're our first lumberjack! Ok, so you're not a lumberjack, but your post made me think of that song by Monty Python.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. I work all night and I sleep all day. I wear high highs, suspenders and a bra.
Or something like that.

Wow, I have never greeted anyone to the community like that before!

Umm...hi...and welcome. ::04

Welcome, ( I am also a newcomer here. )

Chris wrote:I work all night and I sleep all day.

But the words were:
I sleep all night and I work all day.

As far as I am concerned it is: I work all day, and I read all night!

This little side conversation is an odd way to welcome him to the community, but what the heck...

I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping,
And have buttered scones for tea.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers,
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Hey! I'm joking! There isn't anything wrong with anything you or I have said here in this thread. I'm simply poking fun at the song and how I used it as a way of greeting a new person. ::04

I'm hoping he wasn't just a hit-n-run and he posts here again. :)

You just made me think about something. I am now wondering if new members are seeing those little humorous member level names, such as "Totally Clueless," and assuming I am directly attacking them and their beliefs.

Wow, that would suck. This is a topic for the BookTalk News and Development forum
