Still considered a "newbie" here too but I'm really not bothered by it..... I'm rather indifferent about it anyway. Maybe if I post more often I'll be promoted to "Groupie" so I can chase musicians for illicit sexual encounters....... wait...... that's the OTHER kind of "Groupie"
Anyone know of any hot girl groups? When Jill sees this posting I'll be 
Simple solution:
stick around here with us long enough and hang out, and you won't be a "newbie" anymore...if you stick around long enough, before you know it, you won't even be a "groupie"...you will be a well named, and highly respected, "senior member" before you know it. 
I did not particular care for "newbie" either, but I got so caught up talking to you crazy fellow ad/hders and having so much fun that before I knew it I was a "senior member"...I don't even remember the "groupie" stage...
And I feel better with the "senior member" tag...makes me feel:
Sonya, I think Michele was asking about filling all the little blue boxes above the avatar, not becoming "Senior Member." I think Senior is 100 posts. But have no idea how many to fill all the little boxes. Rae70, above, has 1702 posts, but she still has two unfilled boxes, just like you Sonya. *Shrug*Yes, I was talking about all the little blue boxes... wow.. 1702 and she's not got them filled up?? Yikes, I've got a ways to go!Her are the ranks/amount of postsLOL - no others had issues with it too - But "GET OVER IT" LMAO - it passes!
LOL
Dunno..I lost my Newbie tag last week cuz I post too much. Theres too many topics in here that spark my interest. And now theres light shed on my behavior after all these years.
