Title: Thanks Conservative Cave ...
Post by: ABC-2 on January 13, 2021, 07:57:38 PM
Wow!  Thanks for checking me out & letting me in!

Especially in of all places, "The Bar" LOL ...  :cheersmate:

Am a retired, ultra conservative, married female. Born in England, grew up in Canada, & became a delighted Naturalized Citizen of the USA  in 1980.
 
Have no idea how to get around much in here at the moment, but am determined to do so & will!

Today was both a very sad (but not surprising)  & also*happy* day for me.  Sad because of the garbage that went down in the House today, & happy to be able to be in here with likeminded people!

Hell's bells!

Need to get myself cloned ... am checking in here while watching the post mortems of today's disgusting historic event on TV.

Forgot to say that I hope this was the proper place to introduce myself. If not ... please excuse!

Thanks ~ ABC-2

Welcome, and I apologize that it's slow here. 

Most long-time members log in, and then open another window to go about their usual internet roamings, checking back here every so often to see if something new's been put up.

No point in just logging in, and sitting around waiting for something to happen.

The newest posts are near the bottom of the first page, so one doesn't miss anything.

conservativecave used to pop like popcorn, a heyday that lasted about ten years, after which members began wandering away.  No particular reason, no big blow-up, just a natural evolution as people and their internet habits changed.

In my own instance, franksolich was once the most active poster here, but real life interrupted, and I had to curtail posting down to nearly nothing.

But who knows; things are always evolving, always changing.  There's no reason this can't be hyperactive again.

Thanks so much for the welcome guys.  Much appreciated!!!

Am still trying to familiarize myself with everything in here & promise to ...

"Fear God, honor the ADMIN, shoot straight, and keep clean."  :)

A minced oath (I think it's called) from an expression a friend of ours used to say.  Anyone knowing the real wording he actually did use in  the above ...

Will get a Karma from me, when I find out how to do it, that is.

Here ya go: https://mwi.usma.edu/command-philosophy-private-mulvaney/

Also: it's a partial quote of 1 Peter 2:17, with additions.

(A "minced oath" is an innocuous-sounding expression used in place of a holy name or venerated object: "Gee" for "Jesus", "darn" for "damn", and the now seldom heard "gadzooks" for "God's Hooks", meaning the nails used in the crucifixion.)

Thanks ExGeeEye, the above  I did know, but ...

I used the wording "honor the ADMIN" in an attempt to be humorous, as a venerated personage instead of the real one in the expression.

ABC, so nice to be able to communicate with you again.

Thanks, nice to be able to communicate with you again as well!

Also, must tell you, I get a kick out of your sign in name, "third-try" 

I finally, signed into one of my favorite shopping sites as "Last Try"   :-)

Years ago when CU went to an entirely different format we had to re-sign in. Mine wouldn't work.  After about 10 tries I started from scratch with new password and user name. So, when that didn't work I tried a 3rd time using 3rd-try not thinking it would work. It worked and I was afraid to touch it for fear of getting shut out again.

Let's hear it for persistence!
