It never occurs to me to mention you, sweetie, because you always mention yourself...

Only because I'm never mentioned

A new person has appeared

Doesn't that violate the first law of thermodynamics?

Don't you come in here with your big words Ani, you were't mentioned either

I don't need an introduction

And if you want to talk to someone exotic and interesting, look no further. Paula1 is your number one girl.

G'day and welcome to the forum.
Don't get flustered by Cali's list, like Hack said we all make mistakes from time to time and none of us are experts on everything, if anything.
I'm pretty sure you'd curb-stomp me with regards to maths, I barely passed it in high school and haven't really studied it in detail since....

Well, you are. Mentioned, that is. Just not here. Or so I was informed.

Welcome fellow Floridian!

I don't know if I should be offended for being called a "cougar."

She, with the 1, no longer exists

No, it means you're getting on a bit, but you're still hot

I think.....

It's better than 'MILF'.

Or GILF.

Hi there, welcome to RatSkep.

I'll pass on something that was said to me when I first took on an "official" role in my Entomology Society. When I expressed doubts about my suitability for the role, the then President of the society took me to one side and said, "Don't worry, we're all amateurs at this game".

This comment becomes all the more illuminated, when I mention that the President in question, is a published scientist in his field with an international reputation, and has had species named after him in recognition thereof. One is hard put to think of someone that is less "amateur" than this, but his comment, viewed at a deeper level, is apposite. We're all in the learning game, right up until the moment we stop moving, so to speak. There's probably a fair amount I can learn from you on some subjects, and I'm talking here as a former mathematics student myself, though my specialities tended to be in different areas, so if you want a crash course in tensor analysis, I'm probably worth pulling to one side for the purpose, but biological applications of mathematics is, by my own admission, one of my weaker areas, so I might be pulling you to one side on those occasions, especially as you still have the textbooks by your side.

Unfortunately, this will be completely lost on certain brands of supernaturalist ...

Don't worry Scarlett, you are forum's resident expert on chill girls.

Possibly from hot flushes more than anything else.


Sorry Deremensis, I'm forgetting my manners. Welcome to the loony bin (aka the lifeboat)

Lmao. Thank you for all of the welcomes.

This is the most extensive introduction thread I've ever seen on any forum. I'm glad I provoked conversation with so little effort

Thank you, by the way, for the links to people and posts to look out for. I'm always looking for new reading material, between studying that is.

Edit: Also, thank you Calilasseia for the kind words, and to The_Piper: I will try to post some of my nature photography at some point later! I'm taking a field bio class right now, so I'll have a lot of photos of native Florida plants and birds.
