Glad you decided to come out and play!

By the way, where in Iowa are you? I have lived in Spencer and Cedar Rapids, among other places.

"a regular here" -- at least 20 posts during two weeks up to date (assigned/removed automatically).

if you aren't normally a chatty member, we wouldn't want you to force yourself to comment for the sake of numbers. i have to say, though, that since you're started joining the conversation you've contributed marvelously. i hope you'll keep it up. :thumbup:

please feel free to post your offerings in the classified section. make a note in the opening post "exception granted by moderator PatriceJ."

(as an added note to others who might be reading this topic, i offer the "advice" that we also wouldn't want somebody posting meaningless comments just to run up enough numbers to qualify for selling things. :thumbdown: )
