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!

At the moment my back hurts when I walk, but walking is good for my back so I force myself to do it even if I don’t go very far. @Spiritmission6 Hi to you others. I’m getting hungry! @Jynx @heartathome @Spiritmission6 @Snowandtabby-25 @AuntGlow

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

@Spiritmission6 Wow! You really do like animals! I grew up with chooks, dogs, cats and galah, but no lizards. My dog passed in '23 and I haven't been walking since. I'm about to change all that! 😉 I'm fortunate to live on the beach but don't utilise it. That must change too! I'm on the lookout for a rescue cat atm. I found some cat stuff at an Opp shop so am slowly getting it together. I love animals too! My dad was a Jackaroo back in his day. He was the only one who wouldn't use spurs while breaking the horses in. He loved and had a special way with animals, and I like to think that it rubbed off on me. 🙃

@Spiritmission6 Good for you! How are you finding it so far. I know it's early days. I've only been on for about a month. I've made a few connections in that time. ☺️

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

@Spiritmission6 I don’t really like tuna except my mum’s tuna mornay. I don’t like fish. Shellfish I like. Calamari too. Weird hey?

Hi @Snowandtabby-25 @GezzaP @Spiritmission6 @heartathome ,

Great to see you all here.

Hey guys,

Nice to see you all here.

I live by the ocean too but I am afraid that I take it for granted and rarely go down there.

I will probably regret that someday if I move away from here.

I prefer forests though to the ocean. We do have a national park about 30 mins drive from here. I bought a national parks pass but only went once. I had visions of my husband and I taking walks there. Hubby is too lazy to be bothered.

What are your favourite pass times?

I have a rescue cat. We got her almost 2 years ago from the RSPCA. She has had some health challenges this year and we were told that she would die but she is still going strong. I am hopeful that she has made a miraculous recovery. I am very glad that we have pet insurance.
