DIVE IN to the "INSIDE JOKES" on Active Rain

To all the new members here on AR I just want to point something out... you and your words are welcome.

PLEASE do not be afraid to dive in and post a blog or make a comment.

You may notice that others here have quickly established our own way of expressing ourselves (i.e. “inside jokes”)... WE NEVER WANT or INTEND to alienate others.

So if you feel a bit outside of the loop because you don't get the "inside banter" just share your “confused ignorance” with us. We will be more than happy, willing and delighted to bring you up to our Warped Speed.

And if you need any clarification, insight or guidance... I suggest you contact the Blog Mother: The Lovely Wife - Kum La Ka Lakka here on AR. (With a name like that you KNOW she is a welcoming soul.)

I guarantee "The Lovely Wife" will go out of her way to make sure you find how to joyfully splash around in the Active Rain puddle.

WELCOME ALL!

Great post! Some great insight! If we didn't have our Blog princess (Colleen Kulikowski) we wouldn't be the technology leader in our office with regards to BLOG.... Our Broker just returned from a C21 Owners meeting in San Francisco and Active Rain was mentioned, and low and behold we are in 3rd place in Collier County.... Our Broker just about fell out of his chair....

Blog Mother, hahaha....its like one big frat party inside AR :P

WTG Craig...I need to do a "welcome to AR blog" soon......

The Golden Rule...RULES!!!

:-D

Jokes we have jokes here?

Yes, TLW does a great job of keeping everyone in the loop ... of course, MMc, the Moo-Man and myself have had to educate TLW on the finer points of the Barnyard. To quote Alexander ... he-he-he!

"The Handsome Craig"

I always get just a little nervous when I see my name and a Link. The way I see it it's just a matter of time before someone links me back to my "Rain" toilet! Okay...I'm okay...This is cool no toilet.

I do not mind helping "NewRainers" get around and the warped speed they use to do it is fascinating to watch. Once I get them to do a little "Blog Romping" with me. They start having fun and Bam...we have another "Rainer" popping out Blogs faster than I can read them. I really like doing this. New Rainers are such much fun...And gosh guys we can really freak them out sometimes! Trying to explain some of this stuff takes "Chatting Outside Of The Rain"...because they have so many questions. I mean honestly have you ever tried explaining some of the stuff we say and do?

Okay I am finished with my "Boxed Blog"...But one more thing we would be lacking if we did not mention Kristal's beginner list. Excellent list which I have been sending new Rainers over to read. Thanks Craig always nice to know people actually do care...and maybe they won't link your name over to "The Rain Toilet"

"TLW"..."The Lovely Wife"...Kum La Ka Lakka...ROAR!

Second thought ....

Maybe we need a "Rainer For Dummies" type of dictionary. Craig, you can be in charge of putting this together and we'll all add to it. OK????

Make that a DATE!

Craig. I LOVE that picture! you are on a picture roll. And the contents not so bad either ;-)

My first day on AR, there was a blog about AR terminology; it was a riot; I did not know enough to save it at the time. Maybe someone can tell me who wrote it? It was a gas. And I like Elaine's idea; and maybe it can become a best seller! (though for copyright reasons we might have to change the spelling of dummies to dummeeeze?)

My only question from this blog is, Third Place for what?

Mooosic to my ears

Jokes?

This is a serious business forum. We should all maintain a modicum of decorum.

"The Lovely Carole"

That would be "The Active Rain Cheat Sheet" Follow the link back to it...There you will see the many creative minds that put this together the links to their Blogs are also on this sheet. There are some very funny people "Hanging in the Rain"...You'll see. Check out their Blogs!

"The Lovely Elaine"

There has been "box chatting" on what should be done with "RainSpeak"...We have even considered turning it into a papmlet selling it to AR Members and donating the money to "The Rain Gods"...This, is a free site, thusfar, and none of us would mind "supporting the cause".

"Craig"

You do know I am talking about the "Toilet" that I posted in my early Blogging days. Right? BB says I probably should let everyone know that. It was pretty funny...That was my Blog that day...A toilet! You even asked me where I found it.

"Angus"

That just cracks me up. How do you get your Cows to smile...My Goodness...Funny!

TLW "The Lovely Wife"...Kum La Ka Lakka...ROAR!

Ok here is a beginner question... What's TLW's real first name? and WHAT does the ...KLKL...thing mean?

Angus, don't you mean "a moodicum of decowum"?

Ooooh Elaine, you've got me there.... I must be slipping!

Moo

ELAINE I love that! You be so clever!

DAWN: your are gonna have to take your questions right to Misty? I have no idea.

Misty: You mean this "work of art?"

"Craig"

Yup...That would be the one! Crack me up...Is that funny or what.

Hey that's my toilet...I even bleached it before posting it!

Make sure to you lift the seat there are ladies in the house!

I could go on but I can't stop laughing!

I love you Buddy...God that's funny!

Misty is laughine now!

TLW..."The Lovley Wife"...Kum La Ka Lakka...ROAR!

DAWN GETS IT :) Woohooo!!!!!!!!!!

I'm laughin' so hard I'm mistin' up ;)

Where it the tidy bowl man?

The scrub brush is stored next to the computer!

Would use a laptop but...Butt What!

Could someone hand me another roll. I'm out!

Honey can you bring me a cookie?

Ring around the bowlie...pocket full of @#@#@

Help the Toilet ate my mouse!

What does this have to do with Real Estate?

So much for my being embarassed!

NEXT...NEXT...What Butt!

TLW "The Lovely Wife"...Kum La Ka Lakka...ROAR!

Craig,

You are now officially part of the Welcome Wagon. I think Kristal is heading it up. You can be in charge of the brownies... people like baked goods.

Good thing TLW cleaned the toilet.... you know for sanitary reasons with the brownies and all.

xo- Terrorist in Pearls

....And I used a whole lot of bleach.

Be sure to clean up your crumbs...

I'm getting tired of cleaning up after you guys!

I am a little down tonight...Came back here to laugh at my toilet!

There we go I am smiling again!

TLW "The Lovely Wife"...Kum La Ka Lakka...ROAR!

I was about to turn off the computer and came upon Craig's post and I am laughing so hard - you guys are Awesome! Take it from a newcomer, you make everyone feel welcome and it's a pleasure to join you. One day we'll have to have an AR reunion and will serve fruit: Apricots, Kumquats, Persimmons and all the crazy fruit from AR

"Craig"

I just wanted to come back in here and Thank you.

Great presentation of my toilet!

I was pre-occupied yesterday. Grand Daughters. Oh My!

This lifted my spirits...And Misty's.

Thank you. I needed that...Not to mentions Bleach!
