I'm just a newbie?

Well... well... well.... (or as I like to say, "three holes in the ground")....

So this is Active Rain. I've heard alot about this place. I hear it's a good place to jot down your thoughts, to read about all kinds of things and to maybe even make a friend or two.

I think I'll give this blogging thing a try... maybe post a thought every now and then. Although it looks as though I have alot of points, I think that I would be considered a newbie.... having just woken up from a long slumber of In-the-Rain-Inactivity.

I think it's time to get Rained on again. Will people notice I'm back? Will my friends, that I've left out in the rain for so long, come back to read? I hope so.

To AR and my friends... as Eric Clapton says, "Hello Old Friend".

Martin, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? We've missed you. Of course we'll all notice you're back! Tell us - where'd you go?

Martin, I'm fairly new here at AR, so we never knew each other in the past. so, can we expect more of this:

Well... well... well.... (or as I like to say, "three holes in the ground")....

yes? welcome back...Old friend.

Newbie???! Not! I have taken time out as well - just not healthy to spend so much time. I hope all is well Martin - I'm sure you'll find some new faces & groups - there are some terrific people here.

Hi Martin, Welcome to AR or should I say welcome back, where you will learn so much everyday. I love it here and I am sure you will to. Have a great day.

Welcome Back! While you were gone I joined! I look forward to reading your posts.

well...the good news is AR is much like a soap opera....if you are gone for a while, it doesn't take long to catch up...

LOL...welcome back...nice to have a fellow wise guy back around;)

Now we may get the conclusion to that running story!LOL

I was just looking at my subscribed blogs the other day and realized that you hadn't posted in a while. I think what happens is that newbies get hooked by the points, either they burn out and move on, or you realize that this is not important, step back and morph yourself into a better blogger.

I thought you were a pretty good blogger to being with, so I am interested to see what you are going to morph into...

MARTIN! How wonderful to see your smile show up on my blog list! So good to see you!

You were missed -- so what's up?

Martin, Manuel, whoever the heck you are today...I'm SOOOOOO glad to see you back in the rain! I was just thinking about you the other day - where is that smiling face on my bloglog? And POOF, here you are. Your ears must have been burning :)

I noticed... glad you're back! Can't wait for more of your blogs.

Martin - Nice to see your face in the Rain!

Welcome (or weclome back as the case may be). I haven't seen you around here before, but look forward to checking out your blog posts.

Well, we have missed you Martin. Where have you been for so long! You have to catch up on the comings and goings of us Rainers you know! Welcome home. Later in the rain~Deb

On hiatus eh?. Welcome back. Looking forward(possibly backward) to your posts. See ya soon..

Muuuuuahhhh ! Where you been ! Welcome back, my friend ! So glad to see ya !

Glad you are back and looking forward to hearing about your adventures. Lots of new members on the Active Rain Network -- we are going to hit 100K before too much longer! It is incredible.

Martin, welcome to blogging. Just shake off the rust (from being inactive in the Rain) and start writing. :)

Teri - It's good to be back and I hope to be Active in the Rain again.

Peter - Nice to meet you and yes.... you should expect more of that.

Deborah - Thanks. I'm hoping to return but not in the same crazy capacity.

Lorinda - Thanks. I always try to have a good day.

Terri - Nice to meet you. Thanks.

Konnie - Yes... but the soap opera's are less addicting!

BLR - I thought you ditched this place and ran away? Glad to know I won't be the only wise guy here!

Melina - Very true. I think I was a little of both when I joined. Don't look, I don't like to morph in public!

Elaine - Thanks Elaine. I was amazed at how many comments I received on this post after being gone so long. Um... sky... airplanes... clouds.... BLR Guys head :-)

Lisa - Had to stick my head in a vat of beer to put out my ears! All is fine now. Thanks!

Chris - Thanks. It's nice to be back.

Rich - Thanks.

Chris - Ah... a new face. Thanks.

Debra - I've been hiding under the bed.... but it seems safe to come out now. Thanks.

Robert - Thanks. (love the 'backward' humor!)

Melissa - Thanks!!! I've missed the rain and my AR friends.

Joan - Ah... so many adventures. Besides the rafting the grand canyon on a boogy board and climbing Everest in a bathing suit.... lifes been pretty quite.

Steve - Just like the Tin Man... rust is falling off as I type.

Dude - You know that I was concerned about you from the email I sent you awhile back. It is really good to see you posting again! As the others mentioned above, you were missed!

Martin ~ Maybe you could fill us in on how that Marathon eventually turned out? : ) Glad to see you posting again!

Hey!!!! We missed you. So glad you are back! Now Don't go away again. lol

Martin, I have been known to hide under the bed also! I don't blame you. I could do that right now...but no I must go on. Later in the rain~Deb

Hey, Martin! How thrilled I was to see your name up higher on my reading list! I've had my in laws here since April 24th and I'm so out of touch! Glad you're back. Let me know if you pick up twitter. I'm @WinVALiving if you do! Best, Nat
