Hello from California

[lpstong]

Just wanted to stop in and say hey to all you :couch: potatoes. But wait I guess we are all the computer so :couch: potatoes would not apply here, Right?

Well off to read up on everything here at FU so off to shake my little ole :booty: and check things out. And see what all you have been talking about. I am probably :notworthy. But I sure will work on it.

Hey lpstong! :wavey:

I see you found the :couch:

Pay no attention to them stains. It was coffee! I swear! :coffee:

We do a bit of eatin' around here. :food:

But then we just go work it off. :tread: :thewave: :banana2:

Of course, that gets me kinda like :grandpa:

:fullo:

:welcome: to FU! :fu:

Make yourself at home and enjoy the free food while it lasts :pie:

[TheDPQ]

Woohoo another CA-er. Welcome to FU! What part of CA are you in?

So are you interested in starting a forum, or do you already have one and are merely looking at expanding your knowledge?

Or are you just a bored random person stalking someone on this forum

Either way, enjoy!

[lpstong]

Wow what a reception and I didnt know food was included. But thanks for the :coffeed: and the :burger: an more :food:

And TheDPQ what the........... me never stalk I think you need a real good :ghug: atleast 3 x's a day.

And yes I have had 2 successful forums. I have sold them both. I had one other, that well, hmmm......., well I :pullhair: out alot and tried to come up with :idea2: to promote it. I tried the same methods as the other two and it didnt quite work out. So I scapped the forum :uzi: and sold the domain(it had also a PR3 to boot with it) for more than the reg fee. ( sold it for low - mid $xx ) amount.

[TheDPQ]

So whats your primary interest here? Learning how to promote yet another forum to sell it off? Do you ever see yourself keeping a forum and trying to generate money with the forum itself?

In relation to the first two forums how did the subject/setup differ from the 3rd forum?

What were the subjects of your previous forums if you don't mind me asking.

:welcome: lpstong, good to see another new face here. There maybe some :pie: left if you are quick :banana:

[Minarette]

I only found crumbs left from the :pie: :bawling:

:wavey:

[lpstong]

Sorry you missed the party. The music was great. The ambience, well what can I say. The friends. And there was the food........The food what can I say about the great food.

But hey I will share some of my food with you. So here and enjoy. :beer: :cake: :coffeed:

[TheDPQ]

So are you in any part of CA currenting bursting into flames?

[lpstong]

Yes I am about 60 - 90 minutes away from most of the fires though. But here is what downtown LA looks like. I am in the middle of that haze. I think if you swish the smoke around you might see me. But right now as of this moment I think a storm is a brewing. Plenty of rain clouds are forming, about 40% or more of the sky has them. So who knows we may be in luck.

In California we get a slew of things. Rain, mudslides, earthquakes, Santa Ana winds(35mph + winds) fires, plastic surgery screw ups, car chases. You name it. We got it. And we still are standing.

All looks like smoke to me. :P

Is that a problem with FU or you? Did you upload a 130x58 pic?

[lpstong]

Yup its an upload. Here is the place I got the pic (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/060920/ids_photos_ts/r1716991453.jpg) from. I did a "save as" to my desktop and uploaded as an attachment.

My city has a lot of dry hills we lots of thing randomly bursting into flames every summer, burn a few acres, then get put out by winds or firefighters.

The Piru Fire is northwest of me bit (50 miles?). I think its up to something like 84,00 acres burned. Every time the wind shifts smoke covers my city.

As long as there is low humidity i've never leaving CA. Now i just need to work another 15 years so i can make enough to afford once month's housepayment. ^^
