Hi Melissa..
Shea the Sarcastic Started conversation Apr 21, 2001
Greetings, Melissa! We met over at the h2g2 Christians forum. My name is Shea, and I am an Assistant Community Editor (ACE) and a Guardian Angel (GA).
We're a group of volunteers that flit about welcoming and helping new Researchers. If you want to ask me a question, or need help with anything, just hit the "Reply" button and leave a message, I'll fly back in and help you in any way I can!
I know what you mean about trying to convince yourself you like going to the gym. My problem is, I can't convince myself! My parents turned into major exercise buffs when they retired. Maybe when I have more time in my life, I'll like it too (although I doubt it)!
Have you checked out the Welcome pages yet, Melissa? They're a good place to get an idea of what's going on around here:

If you're interested, I made a page with a list of links that you might like to check out. It's at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A534953 .
There's lots to do around h2g2, Melissa! You can write Guide Entries, post in your Journal, join clubs and communities, have a few drinks in a pub, join spirited debate, or just make some new friends!
If you ever want to talk to a Researcher, just click on their name. That will take you to their Personal Space, and you can leave them a message there (like I'm doing now!) by clicking on the 'Discuss this Entry' button.
Most importantly, have fun! You might find yourself meeting some great new friends! I know I have!

Yes please do get involved as you have time. You sound a very interesting person, at least to me.
Thank you..

... for making me feel so welcome. Look forward to bumping into you around and about. Glad to hear that this place is civilised enough to have a pub!!
Thank you..

This place must be very, very civilized, because you can't turn around without finding a pub!
