Sorry you felt that way in the beginning. I always enjoyed reading your posts, and you've been one of my favorite posters since you joined. I enjoy people who are honest, and opinionated, it makes for interesting conversation.

I saw this on the Odyssey Scoop in May, when the SS first came out, but, for some reason, I didn't want to join. Later in June I really got into the ToO, so I decided to join other boards. So, on June 16th, (ironically, the date of the AIO live show I went to) I decided to check this place out, and I've been posting ever since... I kind of regret not joining earlier, as I could have witnessed the beginnings of the SS. But, oh well...

Really? Cool. I thought my opinionated and blunt ways would put me at the end of everyone's 'Favorites' list. That's nice to know although I wouldn't have stopped being so honest if everyone hated it
. If you're going to be nice, I guess I'll be nice too and say that I feel the same about your posts. You always have some interesting twist and your wit adds that needed humor.
You're a sweetheart Marybeth--I know you would have.

One day I noticed that there had been a new user to come on, so I commented on his page and welcomed him. Later he pmd me and thanked me for the comment, he also told me about a much better site called the soda shop and his account there
I promised him I would check it out and later even I made an account there. This kind young man then introduced me to all his friends and since then I have considered you all my second family, a home way from home (:
This young man is named Noah, or as we all know him... Wooton(:
wow, thanks Renae.
ONCE APON A TIME.....(yeah, I know, my story's already boring.) ehem....ONCE APON A TIME I signed up for Odyssey Scoop newsletter, checked my emails. I got an email from OS about the SS...I joined.....um...........THE END!

I like people who are blunt and opinionated. They are interesting, and a good laugh. You're funny and interesting, which is why we all like you!
So, one day, I was on the Odyssey Scoop, checking things like I normally do. And I see something for the SS. So I sign up. Make a few posts, and kinda disappear. Come on once in a while, but that was about it. Then I decided to make more of an effort.
I find that I blend in the background more, but that's okay with me. It's what comes of being the fourth non-admin to join.

I was on the Whitsend website and clicked on the link for "Where Odyssey is Not" about a year ago. I really liked the Odyssey Scoop and was exploring on day in August when I noticed and explored the SS. I joined about 15 minutes later, and the rest is history!

It's kind of weird.
i was searching the web for AIO Blogs and ran across one you may have heard of: Just Another AIO Blog
I really loved it, and I have to say CT I am a fan!

Why thank you, God's Little Artist!
I am truly honored that you found this place through my blog, and I thank you very much for reading. Hmm... this is kind of a pleasant shock for me. I'm constantly surprised and thrilled when I find out about each new reader I didn't know I had. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the blog.

The way that I found out was when Garrett shared it on The Ceiling Fan podcast community.
