Introduction...long overdue!

AmyK · Post by **AmyK** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 4:48 pm

Hi folks!

I decided, with some encouragement, that today is the day
for me to pry myself out of my cozy little lurking closet and
officially introduce my self. I'm Amy K. and as you can tell by
the date under my name, I've been hanging around for a while.
I've been play the tinwhistle for about as long but, please understand
that it doesn't mean I'm any good! In reality, I've been in a really
bad slump but with a lot of encouragement and even more practice,
I'm slowly coming out of it. I'm falling in love with my whistles and
Irish music again!

I guess you could say that I'm a student by profession. The
rest of my time is taken up helping to care for my parents,
neither of which drives anymore! This doesn't mean that
they don't get around well though. People talk about their
kids being a hand full, well I can tell you that parents can
be just as bad! I wouldn't trade them for anything!

Over the years I've learned so much from you lovely people
and while I'm introducing myself, I what to also say thank
you for the many laughs you've given me! You all are one
in a million!

I'll say good by for now!

Amy

Hi folks,

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Your
kindness has convinced me that the closet
isn't the place for to be anymore! I think
I'll be staying for a prolonged visit...if that's ok?

Thanks for the encouragement too,Talbert!

Monster, I am a patient person, but I think in this
case you can chalk it up to shyness!

Welcome aboard. You said we were one in a million and we gave you a lot of laughs. You didn't mention strange, weird or crazy. I guess you haven't been paying attention. Many of us can't play worth beans but the difference is we keep trying. If you keep playing regularly you will get better. So the answer is simple.

Keep whistling

Ron

Oh, I think we can stand you, Amy. How long you can stand US is the real problem. Overall, we're a pretty decent bunch, though some of us do go just a little bit bonkers when we start playing in the political minefields.

Glad you decided to come out of your corner and join the party.

Hey, there. Confessions of a fellow lurker -- I've been lurking the board for probably 3 years now -- ever since I was handed my first Walton's D and searched the web to find out more. I've learned an awful lot through you all, contracted a good case of WhOA (kept in check by funding two college kids), and have enjoyed the posts throughout these three years. Reason for not registering before now? Probably combination of shyness and the overwhelming bigness of this board. I have to agree with Amy -- you are a very special group of people.

Aha! Another one! Soon a tidal wave of lurkers will be upon us, coming out of lurkdom to lurk no more. Welcome to Debbie!

Welcome! Don't worry about all the OT fuss. We all metaphorically drink together when its all said and done...well, most of us.

Enjoy the whistles and start ordering today!!!

Oh my goodness! This is just too coool! I now get to
welcome someone and I've only been "official"
for, what, maybe three hours. Welcome to the light, Debbie!
Thanks for joining us!

Chuck-Thanks for the warning! I'll stay out of the
political threads...I don't really want to get blown up!
