Doing well, thank you. I'm getting ready to leave for the weekend. Do you have plans for the 4th of July Holiday?

NONE SHALL PASS

Those are some strong words there...

Meaning I'm fumbling/navigating myself around this site. Not sure of what I'm doing...

 

[BiGyElLoWhAt]

Nothing huge, band practice with the whole band Thursday, practice with my bass player Friday, not really anything Saturday, but I'm going to the lake on Sunday for tubing and fireworks. Where are you going?

 

[BiGyElLoWhAt]

Just don't do this

Sounds like a good weekend planned.
What kind of music do you play?
Do you have a website?
I'm doing lots of the domestic thing and hopefully BBQ'ing with family members. Spending some quality time with my pets. Avoiding the loud fireworks and stupid people who like to shoot their fire arms in the air like total idiots... Don't they know that what goes up must come down?

Just don't do this

I do THAT all the time...

The eye next to a thread name means you are "watching" it. So you either have posted in the thread, or you have clicked "Watch Thread" above the first post in the thread.

The only locks I see are on threads that the Mentors have locked/closed for some reason. Very old threads are generally closed, and problematic threads are sometimes closed at the discretion of the Mentors.

Much appreciated.

You're welcome.

BTW, since this New Member Introduction forum is for intros only, if you have more questions about how the forum works, it's best to post them in the Feedback forum, which is nearby in the Lounge section of the PF.

I'll have some time over the weekend to hopefully dash around in here and get a bit more acquainted with more of the PF members.
