My first post
 

Hi everyone! I'm new to the boards and this is my first post. The information here is great and I am looking forward to sharing frequent flyer news with all. This is my first year as a premier member with United, so I have lots to learn. Hope everyone will help me out as I learn to navigate the boards. Thanks!

Welcome to FlyerTalk WDWmom2! Say, that WDW wouldn't happen to stand for Walt Disney World would it? There are several South Bay'ers here on FlyerTalk, and I'm one of 'em (Redondo). Looking forward to your contributions and/or questions about programs and miles!

As a new Premier, if you have the time you might want to check out The Unofficial United Help Desk. There is a section there specifically for new United Premiers.

Thanks for warm welcome PremEx. Yes, WDW is Walt Disney World. A lot my travel is back and forth to Orlando. I'm happy to share my knowledge base of WDW with anyone traveling there for the first time.
I have checked out your website and to say I'm impressed is an understatement! Great job!!
Thanks Again!
Oh yeah, my brother lives in Redondo too...small world. I work in Long Beach, live in Seal Beach. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

WDWMOM2,

Welcome to the board from your local Long Beach crew, newself, stimpy, and jailer! You will need to join us at Legends, or the new soon to be open Krispy Kreme!

ps: stimpy and I discussed another Long Beach get together the other night while staggering home from the staple center. Be prepared!

Sounds like fun! I love a get together. Donuts and drinking, what a combo! Let me know when. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Welcome, WDWmom2. This is a great site and I hope you are enticed to joining in for a Get Together. I have been to many an they have all been grand.

p.s. We too have family living in Seal Beach.

Welcome to this INTERNATIONAL board.

... but even I consider myself (from time to time) somehow to be a local South Bay'er ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Welcome, WDWMom2, from a San Franciscan who loves LA! Look forward to meeting you on a donut run.

Hello and MEOWS from Eddie, Yaz and myself WDWMOM! Great to have new people on the board!

And do think about posting on that thread my friend Dgolds put there.

dgolds,

You keep threating us with rumors of you coming to SoCal. Maybe at the next great Long Beach Get Together? I heard that the Catman might even be here for it?

welcome to the board! This is the best forum I've ever been involved in. Glad to have you aBoard!

I used to live in "the Valley" before I moved to the East Coast last year http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

newself: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Well newself, you pick a weekend and I'll be there ready to pay you in Yards fo beer.

Dgolds can be there to make sure we don't get into trouble! (He is one of the most responsible people I know on Flyertalk!)

WDWMom2, welcome...

newself, when you plan a LB meet-up, please let me know. Gotta check out Joe Jost's.

I have a feeling that once we all get together there will be a lot of fighting...over to going to Krispy Kreme's or Joe Jost's first!

Shadow, you are always welcome here in SoCal but this time you need to bring your bride with you!

Hi all,

I thought I would take WDWmom2's (hi there!) thread as a chance to introduce myself as well. I'm new and found out about this site because of the famous Pudding Guy/Healthy Choice FF story. I love this place so far!

Yix...welcome to FlyerTalk!

A question for Yix, or for anyone out there:
I'm familiar with the fact that Pudding Guy was featured in media pieces all over creation for his feats. Yet I wasn't aware that those news stories specifically highlighted a link with FlyerTalk.

When Yix (and I've seen others on the board say the same) says "I found out about this site because of the famous Pudding Guy/Healthy Choice FF story." what exactly is meant? Where was the connection?

I think it's great - it obviously attracts likeminded FF fanatics to the conversation.

Well, for me, the email that was forwarded to the mailing list I was on had a link to flyertalk to see actual pictures of the certificates. At least, I think that was it. I have since deleted the email, so I'm not sure. However, if I remember correctly, the person who forwarded the email is known for doublecheck sources on stories like that, so he may have found flyertalk in some sort of web search.
