East Hill - our official greeter

[Brian]

Just wanted to announce that in recognition for cheerfully greeting new members before the mods had a chance, we've decided to make East Hill a moderator. She was making us look bad, so now she's our official greeter.

:beer:

[Tom Stormcrowe]

Congrats, East Hill :D

[AllenG]

Sucker!

Seriously, congratulations Margaret.

[chipcom]

Congrats East Hill...we really appreciate your efforts in giving BF that Walmart feel! :D

[crtreedude]

Congrats East Hill...we really appreciate your efforts in giving BF that Walmart feel! :D

:lol: - that was inspired and evil Chipcom.

Congrats East Hill - you could give Chipcom a mini-ban for cross dressing... :rolleyes:

I say make chipcom bring in the shopping carts every night. :D

[Taerom]

Whoa, just noticed the new blue star. Congrats!

[gnome]

Congratulations East Hill.:D

Chipcom is jealous because no one would hire him as a greeter at Walmart... :rolleyes:

Chipcom seems like he would make a good bouncer at a bar. A gay bar.

[jaxgtr]

Congrats EH. You've done a great job.

[Machka]

I've been wondering when you'd get around to doing that ... I noticed some time ago that she's always in the Introduction thread welcoming people.

[East Hill]

Thank you all :D .

I will behave myself, and even though it's tempting to make chipcom bring in the trolleys, I will go ahead and do it myself, as starting at the bottom is a good way to learn!

Hey, what are you doing down here? Get back up at the top of the site. Who's watching your post?

Just bringing in the trolleys, sir!

I am heading back up to my favourite spot in just a mo :p !

[gregam]

Way to go East Hill!:D

[garysol1]

congrats...........

[Brian]

Gary, you never know. You might be next.

[Siu Blue Wind]

I wish I can make you a banner of some sorts to congratulate you, EH....

[revolator]

Good work East Hill, you're very deserving of this and more.

[botto]

Considering that she's been jockeying for the Blue Star for months, what took you so long?

[garysol1]

Gary, you never know. You might be next.

Oh lucky me.....:p

[markhr]

Congrats, East Hill :D

+1

One of the most pleasant things aout BF is the dedicated introductions forum that isn't a ghost town. Good luck and here's hoping many more follow the example.

[Tom Stormcrowe]

Oh lucky me.....:p

There's already a second on that idea from me as well, Gary ;)

[garysol1]

Momma was right....Paybacks are hell....LoL

[solveg]

Congratulations, East Hill!

Now, what happens to that big pink star????

[stevesurf]

Congrats, East Hill; indeed a job you do so well. I remember back a few years ago when I joined BF not getting a reply in the introductions area and moved onto MTB and Road where there was a good deal more action back then.

It's a pretty cool thing to get the greeting; must be a west coast thing as I look around and see my neighbors door mats that say "go away" and "beware killer cat inside"...although one of them said "nice underwear" :D

[Brian]

Momma was right....Paybacks are hell....LoL

No good deed goes unpunished.

[Rollfast]

We're going to have find you a couple more gears with all those duties on your shoulders! ;)

Diet rootbeer for EVERYONE :beer: If you buy you're own, of course (I haven't made any money on Monopoly hotels lately...it's the mortgage markets)!

[East Hill]

Thanks everyone!

Botto, I only get to supervise the Introductions :) . If I am a nice person, Brian and the other admins might eventually let me take care of P & R ;) .

Solveg, if you look, you will see that I obtained special permission from Brian to keep using my big pink star. Unless, of course, you would like to use it? There's a big blue star around here too, but I like the pink one :D .

Markhr, I know when I started doing the Introductions it was because I felt everyone should get off to a good start. There are a lot of new people now, and it's hard for the mods to keep up with saying hi.

I really appreciate being asked to take on the responsibility of encouraging new members to feel at home!

[jsharr]

Good on ya, EH. I tried to take over while you travel around the West Coast, but I fear I failed.

BTW, I hit Brian's new ride with a shopping cart. Sorry about that.

No, no, you and msincredible did a brilliant job whilst I was busy lounging around the shore...

I think Brian would be very disappointed in you if you hit his new ride. It's still shiny and everything. In fact, he might have to send you to take care of the SS/FG forum...no more Foo for you!

No, I still have this one for when I beat you to a newcomer:

EDIT: WOW! Could there possibly be a more perfect setting for your bike???!!!! Beautiful!

No touchy new bikie. Owner carries loaded gun.

I'll have to challenge you to a duel when we next wander out that way :p .

Like at a baby's birth, ...I can't stop crying.

Are they tears of joy or sorrow? ;) :D



Congratulations, Sweetie...:)

Do the new members get macademia nut shortbread, too?


If so, I'll sign up to be a new member. Twist my arm.

Hehehehe,

I should just make you some and come down for a visit. Hey, you know what I saw yesterday whilst out looking for morels?

I still keep saying "Wow"...I was driving poor Mr. East Hill mad :p .

Congrats East Hill... Yet another fine choice for moderator.

In my workplace, everyone that is promoted buys bagels, or some sort of pastry for everyone else... So instead of Macademia Shortbread for the new people, you need to send some to all members.

BTW - I found the lump of coal I promised you, I'll get it in the mail in the next week or so, but here is a pic...

I think I'd be broke in a few days if I sent my MNS to all members. However, I would probably be adored for life by 99% of the recipients :p , regardless of my moderating mad skilz or lack thereof!

Did you know that your lump of coal looks amazingly like an Eastern Grey Squirrel?

OMG! What a couple of beauties!

You can come down, with or without the shortbread. But, I wouldn't say no if you brought it!

After a short tour of the native plantings, we could ride from my house, to Woodard Bay, check out the Purple Martins, ride then the rest of the day, and return to Woodard Bay for a evening of bats. If it's nice, a picnic before bats.

The closest I would be able to guess is squirrel... I am not surprised that you could come up with a specific type of squirrel based on a bad photo of a carved piece of anthracite.

I'll have to examine it more closely in person :D . But, based on the general cheekiness factor, I'd say EGS.

Congrats East Hill! Very well deserved! :beer:
