Hello, I am new--and wanna get t know everyone!!!!!

welcome to a2k

Welcome xmom. Hope you enjoy it here.

Hey, welcome aboard!

Wanna get to know everybody, huh? Shouldn't be too tough to do, there's only around 25,000 members, fewer than a thousand of 'em have posted more than 50 times, and only around a couple hundred have 500 or more posts. Dig in and enjoy.

Welcome to A2K. Now, get busy

Oh, and BTW...Timber is the man for those quirky computer problems

Timber - where did you get those stats from? I'm always curious about what happens to people who post a few times then disappear and I'd like to browse some figures, if any are available. Cheers!

Sorry, I'm being rude again...


Hi, xmom2704, and best wishes from the UK on your A2K adventure!

Try this - and perhaps you can be even more precise than timber :wink:



Yes, and of course: Welcome xmom2704 !

And an amazing 16,108 people have joined and never posted a single word! Thanks Walter (And Timberlandko for the idea). A happy 10 minutes spent playing with numbers!

See Walter! I told you those limeys are easily amused.

I'm just a man who likes numbers...

you're a good man, Duke

I know multiple experiences, several times per year :wink:

[I'm glad, btw, that A2K is working without sound: just imagine GD calling out Bingo rhymes while "playing with numbers" ...]

Two fat ladies..... eighty eight
Heinz varieties.... fifty seven
Oo er missus.... sixty nine
Legs.... eleven
Top of the shop.... ninety

Ad infinitum, ad nauseum.... :wink:

Wow.

I like #86 - have no idea what it means. I mean, I know the words, but how do they turn into 86?

I am new too
Hello XMOM I am a single mom of 3 and I'm new too
Ihave a funny kid story to tell if youd like to here sometime

Hi bellavu from the UK!

And apologies to xmom for hijacking your thread with bingo. It's bad form, and I hope it won't scare you away from A2K!

(this is the last time, xmom) ehBeth - I know, some of then are crazy! I guess they've just picked it for #86 because it rhymes. Cool anyway. I might start a bingo thread. Hmm...
