[Concordia...41]

I like the many varieties of nuts.

[rbgarr]

I've become used to the new packaging.

[Ken Hutchins]

Thr forum is great, likewise for the people at WB and the forum members.

But they talk funny.

But they talk funny.

Ach Quatsch!

[Paul Pless]

Me too Mickey,

I've learned alot, had alot of fun, and also something happened unexpectedly... I've become good friends with a number of the members, some of whom I've never even met.

This is place is awesome.
Thanks Scot!!

[Katherine]

Yep, learned a lot of things I never needed to know.:D

Thanks Scott!

[landlocked sailor]

I just can't seem to stay away! :) Rick

[TomF]

I just can't seem to stay away! :) RickAin't that the truth?!:D I dunno whether I should thank Scott for fuelling my addiction, or report him to the feds.

But it is a great place - made so by the company we keep here.

[Popeye]

and i promised myself , i wouldn't cry

[Mike Keers]

Mickey is just softening us all up before he tries to form a consortium to fund his new boat. Hold on to your wallets. ;)

But I'll toss my hat in the 'like this place' ring too...good folks, and mostly good advice :p. But I haven't been to the bilge once since it was established, so my views are biased in favor of rational discussion and friendly debate. :D

Tar Devil, I think it's only on Talk Like A Pirate Day they talk funny. Aaargh.

[Paul Pless]

But I haven't been to the bilge once since it was established,

that would explain the relatively low post count.;)

[djswan]

This is a wonderful place. I'm still afraid of the bilge.

[Donn]

But I haven't been to the bilge once since it was established..

Maybe it wasn't called "The Bilge" then, but I remember a discussion on prop-walk in May of '02...

[pcford]

Ayup, finest kind. :D

Real boat-type people talk like that.

[Popeye]

the bilge is where all the tycoons hang out

[uncas]

I've learned alot, had alot of fun, and also something happened unexpectedly... I've become good friends with a number of the members, some of whom I've never even met.

That is the purpose. Ya meet people who have an interest in boats and most of those seem to post above board. Granted, some make the dive to the bilge and others come up for air. but that is okay. With time, ya figure out who is a serious boat person and who is not regardless as to where he hangs out.

To those I have met. To those I would like to meet and hope to in the future..Thanks for being around.

[skuthorp]

So do I, even the biilge can be fun. But I'm inclined to get too serious about it at times.

Popeye: That should have been Typhoon (a lot of hot air and wind):D

I'm not afraid, I'm one of them. :D

I'm no doctor so I can't tell you the definition of "addicted" but I think I'm addicted in a big way. Is there a 12 step program?

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Ayup, the meetings are here in the bilge, pull up a chair and get comfy.:D

[uncas]

Heck all one needs is a bigger bilge pump...Think I'll go check Resources/Product Search...:)

[djswan]

What are the reasons this is a great place, besides the people and the ambience of wooden boats? This forum works. Another forum regarding another craft where I pipe in now and then could use some real help. I think the Wooden Boat Forum should be the example. Derek

[paladin]

Helps keep me sane....I think.....

[TomF]

Helps keep me sane....I think.....how would we know, Chuck?:D

[paladin]

he he he.......only The SHADOW knows.......:D

[Milo Christensen]

If anyone tells my wife there's a 12 step program for WBF addiction, well, then, they're not my friend anymore, so there.

Seriously, you all helped me get through a really bad time (a bit of understatement that is) by giving me a place to go to keep the wooden boat part of me alive. I adopted a boatbuilding metaphor to rebuild my life. I've now built a frame for a better life, added a solid keel and I've been adding a plank at a time.

Thanks to you all for being here.

[Paul Pless]

What the heck are you doing up here Milo?

[Katherine]

He had to come up here after dark since the light would kill him.
