Thanks to whoever started this forum!

Howdy folks...

I've been lurking here for a few weeks. Wow what a huge resource of info!

I took some folks advice and  recently singed up on EM (Elena's Models). I'm still trying to get a grip on all of the abbreviations you folks use. 

I have a couple of questions. But I'm still a newbie here. I'll continue to read some of the older pages of the forums and then I might ask a question or two.

Thanks for giving a crash course to a guy that "MIGHT" be headed to the Ukraine in a few months MAYBE!

Thanks again for all the info you people have compiled, e.g. the 10 commandments and the Topsites.

Adios,
Cal

When mistified, have a look at the RWD Glossary in the Main Menu at left .

Ahh thank ya sir...

As a former Florida State University student I was thoroughly perplexed by the use of FSU throughout everyone's posts!

Is that a badge of honour, or a mark of shame ? Sorry, I'm not much conversant with your Alma Mater.

Welcome, Cal.  I wish you the very best luck.  Read, read, read.  And don't hesitate to ask questions as well.

Sandro, here is Florida, when you read or hear FSU, Florida State IS what comes to mind--not the former soviet union :-)

I see, it hadn't occurred to me to acronymise his Uni's name.

Here in the US, the university goes by the initials.  Which is confusing; to me, the U of A was the University of Arizona.  Then I moved, and people meant University of Arkansas when they said U of A.  And of course, the bama fans definitely believe it means the University of Alabama!

For me, FSU invokes girls, girls, girls!  Not a football team or school :-)

And, for us, farther north, the U of A is the University of Alberta

Calvin....no matter what you do, how many women you write to, how in love you fall over photos, how many times you 'almost' get scammed or your heart broken...there is one thing you must absolutely, positively do. YOU MUST GO!!!

oh and welcome.

any questions I know the answer

...there is one thing you must absolutely, positively do. YOU MUST GO!!!

I can't agree more.  Whether extremely successful or with some challenges, it is still experience which broadens horizon and introduces you to a new culture. "You must go!"

Learn as much as you can from the forum, but always analyze and choose what fits your particular situation.  Opinions here differ greatly.  If you would like to hear opinion of FSU ladies (now you are already familiar with the term FSU... ), there is a special section on the forum. 

Best of luck!
