Welcome to PF. Although you did post in the wrong area, that has been corrected and you've been moved to the right area for an intro post. :wink:

Take your time, peruse what is available here and jump in when you're ready. You'll catch on in no time.

Now, the only thing you need to consider carefully is what kind of fish you like best. :biggrin:

Welcome to PF, Flowermyface.
You're correct that no one here will pick on you. Some of us might occassionally poke a bit of fun at you in GD, but it's meant only as a form of social interaction. If anything ever offends you, just PM the person involved and explain that you're not comfortable with it. For instance, you're about to get 'fish-whapped' big-time. Just grit your teeth and take it like a man, or woman, or whatever else you might be. :biggrin:

edit: Kurdt... owww... Methinks he'll be changing that avatar poste-haste.

:smile: If tiny-tim has a fondness for whacking people, I think we have a position for him at the Genco Olive Oil company. :wink:

Now you know, of course, that you're going to have to put up a link to that thread. Just when we thought that it was safe to go back into GD... :rolleyes:

Welcome Flowermyface, make yourself comfortable, and always keep in mind, everyone here was new at one time.
You had to read the rules when you signed up, if something is unclear, I am sure one of the Mentors will help you out. They are a great bunch of people. And no matter what kind of fish you like, just a word of advise, make sure you say fresh, not frozen.
