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!

Hi @magnolia84

I live in Shepparton and have never visited Newcastle although i know of their football team. life changes can be traumatic, and once upon a time before my divorce I managed several in a short space of time.

Stress!!

And I do not deal with stress well, something to do with epilepsy.

How are your stress levels?

@Alittleorange Hey

Thank you for your message.

I'm sorry to hear you went through a hard time. My stress levels are pretty bad to be honest. Made some pretty stupid decisions and now just facing the consequences of my actions which has changed the course of my life entirely. I know I will eventually get there but it's just a hard time.

How has your weekend been?

@magnolia84

it is evening and I just finished watching the Voice, which I hum to very badly, living alone without even a goldfish makes it safe though. i work nights on Friday so Saturdays are usually a wasteland, that mixes with domestic duties now I have given golf away. And today I joined a friend for some non-alcoholic drinks at the local RSL which has become something of a ritual.

In times of stress many choices are difficult, and yes some may be bad or seem bad, but you do not necessarily have choice or control over them so don't be too hard on yourself. A new week and era dawns, and hopefully one less stressful.

PS. Living in Newcastle do you surf?

Hiya Newbies (myself included technically)!

Just thought I’d put my name in the mix here as the more the merrier!

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

Hey @tyme, yes I am. It has made a huge difference especially sleeping a bit better.

Thanks for asking.

How is your Monday morning?

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

@Alittleorange Thanks for your message

Sounds like you had a good weekend. Do you have anything interesting planned for the week? I'm off to Bunnings and potentially some more gardening but it's gotten a bit cold so we shall see.

No I don't surf. I do enjoy sitting by the beach though. I take my dog for a walk there and then we sit and watch the world go by. What about yourself?
