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!

Here's today's newest forumites:

I just wanted to drop you a line and say welcome. I understand SI and the thoughts that go with it every second of the day. I survived an attempt in 2009 and am glad that I lived to tell the tale.

@Alittleorange

I'm sorry for the late reply. I've just been hibernating from the world the last little while.

How have you been?

I love reading and gardening and going for walks. That's the extent of my brain capacity at the moment.

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

@magnolia84 it's enjoyable for me! I like other medical dramas as well and don't mind if they are a bit mushy at times. Let me know if you start watching 🩷

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

@rav3n I'm enjoying it quite a bit! Right up my alley, although I never managed to finish Greys Anatomy since it was taken off the streaming service 😭 I'll have to find another way since it's such a grey-t show 🫢

Where are you up to in Greys?

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

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

@nonamecat hahah it is a 'grey-t' tv show indeed!! sucks it got taken off, i'm watching it on disney+ at the moment. what season did you get up to?

i was up halfway through season 20 😂 now i'm just rewatching and I'm on season 2 again. you reckon the resident is better then greys?

@magnolia84

It is OK to take time, with the speed it seems to pass nowadays it is nice to think we can slow it somehow. It will be Christmas soon.

My son started his first job yesterday, so it was a sort of momentous occasion, bit like first day at school.

Do you do exercises or meditation as brain relaxation? I have a history of epilepsy and schizophrenia (scored the double!!) so these types of things in addition to some meds for schizo me I find useful. Walking as also a passion of mine, far more relaxing than jogging.

take care
