About myself...
 
I have no idea what to say, but I figure I should say something.

I'm 27, single. I graduated from BYU in '02, and moved to Orange County, California.

I work for a health insurance company. My job is boring and as a result I am always online, here or cougarboard.

Football is the only sport I follow. I just can't get excited about anything else. So during the off-season I rarely have anything of substance to add to a sports-related discussion. At least I'm willing to admit that though, right?

I kind of hate the format on this board right now, but I have been reassured by other posters that it will grow on me, and I'll end up liking it better. I hope that they know what they're talking about.

The good stuff keeps rising to the top. On cougarboard if a topic gets hot, it goes to page 2 in a hurry.

So can we set you up?

I have a friend in the LA area.

Very nice, very smart, but a bit on the "nice dork" side of things re: personality.

In other words, the sort of guy who would treat you like a queen, but not the sort that gets respect "with the guys."

Let me know if you are interested.

:wink:

Glad to get a little estrogen on the board, besides the stuff that is coming from Fusniks Levis.

Welcome, glad you're here! Sometimes it gets a little too much like a guy's locker room in here.

warning: Mike's latest hobby is matchmaking. It's his way of dating vicariously :wink:

Exhibit A of why the board will grow on you.

I would advise that you only frequent this board..
 
if it doesn't bother you that the evil Ute horde has found this place. After all, it's been said that RES is no place for a lady. :roll:

What is it that you dislike about this board format?

I personally much prefer this format to others. I don't have huge amounts of time to spend sifting through pages of messages to find topics of interests. Unless you are online while the actual dialogue is going on, it is easy to miss it completely. And then if you try to bring up a related subject again, often there is some moron telling you "We've already thoroughly discussed that twice this week. Old news."

You've just got to keep in mind that this is less of a chat room, and more of a message board, as most of the more interesting dialogues have occurred over the space of several days or weeks.

Its good to have more female contributors here. Welcome BDB and Mrs. Akili!!!

Very good! The first "R" in the repentance process is Recognition.

Call me when you get to Restitution.

Hey, I call it like I see it, however, restitution is out of the question. I'm no Indian giver. :)

I don't like how all the different branches a thread can take are all bunched together. So I can't just read everything off of one portion of the thread, and then skip to the next portion, I have to sort through and read every single post, and frankly, sometimes other posters take a tangent that doesn't interest me. I still have to sort through all of their posts to find the ones that I want to read. That's really my number one issue with the format.

Yeah, that is kind of a pain sometimes.
