Hahaha!! That particular doc is notorious for that sort of thing...!!! [In reply to] Can't Post

I worked on an oncology sister unit for a few years. Our above unnamed friend is a famous absent minded professor around our hospital!

As for precepting, I have seen your concerns quite often; the sad old thinking of 'eat our own young' and 'survival of the fittest.'. For myself, I absolutely adore doing it, and am always *thrilled* to work with new critical care staff; even experienced medical or CCU critical care staff who have never seen Neurosurgery (since it is really its own bizarre animal.) Its a pleasure to teach, and to learn too, and to make the profession a welcoming place. Many of my previous orientees are still in touch with me, which is such a happy connection.
You sound like a natural at it Ardamire, as you have quite the right spirit for it! Angelic You will be an asset to the profession!

It's been about a year and 4 months when I subscribed on the boards. I had a very bad english at first but then it got better though not perfect. I am glad I've found this site and that people never actually pointed that out to me. A very nice community of passionate people TORn is!

A little over six years, [In reply to] Can't Post

I joined in March 2007. As far as I remember I didn't do a whole lot of lurking. I frequented the TORn page plenty, but I think it was around the revamp of the boards that I joined, likely on account of how much it was being broadcasted on the main page. Needless to say the boards got my attention real quick when I did start to visit. Tongue

5 years as of earlier this month.... [In reply to] Can't Post

I am pretty sure I didn't lurk too long after seeing "Ringers". The experience was a bit similar to this:
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
Checking into the Reading Room for discussions of LotR, TH, and TS ---- what an experience! I am very glad to see those chapter discussions still happening.

November 2001 [In reply to] Can't Post

I followed the front page for several months before that, and even sent in some spy reports, like a scan of my Burger King crown with the Ringspell on it. One of my spy reports, about how the hobbits' theme on the new soundtrack reminded me of a famous old hymn (This is My Father's World) apparently stirred up a discussion on the boards, of whose existence I had no idea. When the front page mentioned it, I followed the link to the boards and jumped into the middle of the thread without ever introducing myself. Here's my first post.

It wasn't too many months later that I met several TORnsibs in person at a local get-together to watch the Oscars, including Altaira, who became a good friend.

I think Patty might have been around as long as Kimi, and I'm not sure about Gramma.

No, Mac, your Elvish is fine. [In reply to] Can't Post

It's when you speak Dwarvish that I stick my fingers in my ears. Sorry, you just can't do guttural.

I never noticed [In reply to] Can't Post

that you weren't a native English speaker, Sam, so you're doing fine.

I think most people on TORN who are native English speakers don't worry about people who aren't. It's our mutual interest in Tolkien that unites us.

It has boosted my post numbers immensely while being very fun. Of course I also spent almost the entire time in Lorien hanging about Feedback imploring the Modar, Magpie and SirDennis for technical aid...

ha! : ) [In reply to] Can't Post

 

ha! : ) brethil. : )

i have no real memories of where i was galloping, 'tho i know that when i was galloping through the shire and lorien i was very much on the hobbit boards.

i do know (funny habit) that when i enter a new land i want my entrance into that land to be a substantive post, rather than just a silly one. it seems more auspicious.

i will be in the grey havens soon, and i will +love+ seeing that next to my avatar!

and... is it me... or do places on the mainland seem more "active"? like, it gets sleepy or something in valinor?

Early 2002 [In reply to] Can't Post

Joined just in time to attend the first Oscar Party, though obviously from my post count I spend most of my time lurking. Too bad that voting doesn't count as a post... I'd be in Gondor.

Time seems to flow more slowly in Valinor [In reply to] Can't Post

so there's less urgency to post. Also, you spend most of your time there shoulder to shoulder with the Vanyar singing endless hymns in praise of the Valar, which is pretty time-consuming, but the orchestra is good.
