Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Well, I did not make it. I was on the way. There was a miscommunication with my husband and I thought he could get our son ready for bed but he couldn't. So I had to turn around.

It's so frustrating when I think I could do something for myself and it's just unrealistic in my life.

@Shaz51 it happened to me too. I was replying to posts without the @ and I think it must have been confusing to others. 😀

This is my first week here. How long have you been on the forums?

@Shaz51 yes I have a cat and a dog. My cat doesn't always like to come sit with Mr. When she does, we stop everything and pat her. Haha my dog is sitting near me atm but he is already dreaming of playing ball. He's very cute. I will have to wake him in a sec so he can have the last wee of the day!

How about you? Any furbabies?

@Jane210 Hi 👋🏼 I’m Glisten. Thank you for the tag 🏷️ @tyme

@Jane210 this is SANE Forum there is no age discrimination. You are not a Senior. You are a person and we are all here for you.

In fact, I am a year older than you.

I’ve never fitted into my demographic.

So tell me more about you.
