Hi refugees! I am a 13-year 2peas NSBR lurker who posted very few times, but I want to take this opportunity to mend my introverted ways. I was kathyp on the old board, but since a remarriage has made the "p" portion of that name obsolete, I chose to rename myself for this board. I'm somewhat shy in real life, and that translated to my hesitance to interact online as well. After the NSBR board closed and I realized how much I would miss the pea community, I decided that I need to come out of my shell and actually interact with you all.... Each week, I would look for the reading and crocheting threads. I also love Erin Condren planners, the Naked palettes, TMI horrendous period stories, product reviews, and The Walking Dead, so I hope to fit in with many of you here. Also, I teach math (the most dreaded of all subjects), so when school starts back up and the math homework questions start to roll in, I will do what I can to help unless someone else beats me to it! I'm looking forward to being a part of the board, and really appreciate the work it has taken to get it going.

Hi Kattock! I was a long time member and very low poster too!
Also, I have the introvert gene and have recently (before the 2peas demise) decided to try to cultivate more friendships and I'm starting with online and slowly move into real life!
Good luck & don't hesitate to post anymore!

Hi, kattock. I didn't post 'over there' real often, either. I was always a little nervous to jump in. Can't tell ya why. Everybody here, tho, is starting out fresh and so happy to have a place again, it's fun getting to 'know' people. See you around!

I'm a lurker too, but have decided to be more active. Or at least try, there are times when I struggle a bit to find the right words.

Long-time lurker here too. I think I had been there 9 years and had less than 500 posts. I love reading, but it seems like whatever I have to say has always already been said 10 times before me, so I just silently nod my head. Loving that we have the option here to "like" posts! Now I can at least show that I agree with a poster. Not sure if I'll post more here or not, but I'm so glad I found the new pod!

Hi there!! What a great introduction! I love many of the things you do! WOOHOO! Kudos to you...Math is so hard for me. LOL! I have one more math class for my degree, and I am so bad at it. I had a hard time in my last class and had to have tutoring a lot. My tutor was like 12. BAHAHAHA!!!

Hi. I too am a long time lurker and head shaker in agreement, and sometimes disagreement. This new board is like a fresh start so many of us have decided to join in.

That's me too! I also thought that many other people had already said what I would have.
I've learned so much from the Peas though I just had to jump in now.

Hello! Another long time (since around 2001) lurker here. Hope to participate more, and maybe even add my 2 cents' worth upon occasion!

I am also a former lurker and am hoping that with the start of this site, I will be an active member. I used to read 2Peas daily and often wanted to post but felt that I would be intruding. It has been nice to see others who felt the same way coming out and joining the party.

I am trying to be more involved also. I find myself struggling to find the right words to say and tend to be more introverted. Looks like the new board is a fresh start for many of us! Here's to a new start and it's nice to meet you!

Hi kattock! I've been on the board for years and have always considered myself a semi-lurker. Like you, I'm determined to try to participate more now. Welcome!

Looking forward to hearing more from you. I'd like to see some of your crocheted creations. It's one of the few crafts that I feel like I haven't tried.

Thanks for all of the nice welcomes! It's great seeing responses from other newbies, as well as some of the 2peas veterans Eastcoastpea - I'm working on a couple of different crochet projects right now, and will try to post pics to the crochet thread soon. Until January, I hadn't crocheted in years, but I'm loving it even more now than I used to!

Welcome. I am new as well. I have learned so much from the peas. I am in my late 60s and they have kept me up to date on all the latest things. From make up, fashion, children and even politics. Look forward to what all the newbies will have to offer.

Hi fellow former lurker! As you can see by my name, I've lurked at Two Peas for years now (11 actually). I just found out today that Two Peas is no more, so I came here to show my support as well.

Joining the lurker pea crew. I read the boards almost every day during break at work to unwind for a few moments....however it seemed that whenever I posted I killed the thread. Was a member of Two Peas since 2000 or so, under the name RocAdonisMom. I decided to change my name because it was made up of my dog's names and Roc passed about four years ago. So un-creative with choosing a new name but went with LodgeLady because I manage a Lodge/Bed and Breakfast in Pa. Hope to be a more active member of this board. Nice to "see" you all.

I'd mentioned on another thread that I've been around for 11 years, and averaged about 100 posts per year. My daughters were 4 and 5 when I found Two Peas, and now my oldest will be a senior this year. Time sure flies!
