I am tired of being a Fodor voyeur
 
and have taken the plunge to becoming a novice Fodorite.
Thank you everyone for the years that I have gathered much valuable information from your questions and answers. I have been hesitant to sign on because you all seem to write well, present wonderful trip reports, give me things to ponder and make me laugh every day. (all time fav, someone thought Ira was a lightbulb salesman....sorry but I forget who it was)
In the past 3 years I have rented an apartment in Paris for a month with Fodor's insights, again visited Paris, with recommendations for hotel and restaurants, and one more time to Paris.....I know, I know,... I will branch out.
Please be gentle with me, my computer skills are somewhat lacking as are my writing skills.
Rome for me in a couple of weeks, then Germany this summer. And of course there is always Paris.....Thanks again, you are all terrific. Readysetgo!

I hope we always had our underwear on!

But seriously... always glad to see a lurker become a poster!

Best wishes,

Rex

Why would you be afraid to post here? You are anonymous afterall. Your picture and address don't accompany every post. Most of the people who post here are daft anyway. I, myself, am an alcoholic ne'er-do-well aristocrat with a taste for expensive clothes and gossip. I've had 16 husbands. Who am I to judge you?

Balenciaga, sweetie.

I was like you, readysetgo, I was terrified of the self-appointed spelling police.
WELCOME!

Welcome darlin ((F))
I look forward to all trip reports, if I am not traveling, someone else might as well be! Do post a trip report, do not consider how others write, this is <b>your</b> trip!
I branched out on our 100th ( who me? exaggerate??) trip to Paris and rented an apt instead of a hotel room, so you are not alone, honey :)
Go go go~

&lt;&lt; I hope we always had our underwear on! &gt;&gt;

When I signed up, nobody told me underwear, nor any article of clothing, were required. In any case, I always typed commando - i.e. no pant, no underwear. You lucky, readysetgo, you!

readysetgo...I've been on this board for almost five years, and I'm still a novice!

Welcome to Fodors.

makemyday, I'll pretend to faint every time you post.

In that case, it's probably a case of disclosing too-much information if I say that when typing in messages I sometimes touch myself.

cigalechanta Apr 6th, 2005 04:34 PM

no. it's ok. It's your show :)

tedgale Apr 6th, 2005 04:36 PM

Before I found Fodors, I had self-confidence issues, too.

Now, after posting regularly on Fodors, I have become an opinionated, self-aggrandizing bully.

I cannot thanks Fodors enough.

makemyday Apr 6th, 2005 04:39 PM

Better than you disclosing that you type without your pants on.

Scarlett Apr 6th, 2005 04:45 PM

tedgale, face it, you are a sweetheart and no one believes this bully business!

tedgale Apr 6th, 2005 04:49 PM

What a kind avowal, Scarlett!!!!

readysetgo Apr 6th, 2005 05:25 PM

Thanks for the hearty welcome. I feel privileged to be a part of this travel forum.
Regarding undwear... My granddaughter made up this rhyme.... &quot;London, France, Peanut butter pants.&quot; Now that conjures up a real visual.
Thanks again everyone, Readysetgo!

If there are <i>Fodorites</i>, is there <font color=red><i>Fodorhism</i></font>? And is there a 7 step program to help you get over it?
