New kid at the ranch

[thereseiam]

Hi all,

My name is Therese, and I just joined the list a couple days ago. I've been doing some reading up and am trying to get up to speed, but to be honest, I don't have much of a handle on the episodes, and there are still many I have yet to see. I look forward to working my way through them.

I am well into my first Bonanza fanfic (I won't tell you who my fave character is, but I will say I was 5000 words into it before any of the Cartwrights other than Adam were mentioned. . . )

I don't know how it is that I never discovered Bonanza until now. I mean yes, I'd seen some old re-runs on t.v. but never thought that much about them, then tuned into some of the afternoon ones on cable recently, and bam, I was a goner.

I'm an avid equestrian (I collect equines--real ones) so you'd think that I'd have gotten hooked on a Western long before now, but apparently I'm a very slow study. I did finally come to see the light, so maybe there's hope for me yet?

I've been catching up on different areas of the forum, and I have to say I haven't found a friendlier, wittier group of people out there in cyberspace, so I sure hope to fit in.

My first question (and I'm warning you, there probably will be many) is I can't seem to find the 'register' link at the gallery which is really driving me nutty as I can't WAIT to start drool--, er, looking at all of the pictures there.

Thanks so much for letting me join in the fun.

Jan has actually closed the Gallery registration, but if you go to the link below, it explains more:

Okay, one more question--and it probably won't be the last.

Remember I said I was a slow study? (Er, that's not really the question. . .) I just spent half an hour trying to get my darn avatar resized to the right dimensions, then noticed that I am the ONLY person on here with an avatar of themselves--everyone else has their chosen Cartwright or the actor who portrays that character.

Have I already made a huge faux pas?

Trust me, it's not that I'm in ANY way adverse to an Adam avatar, I just always thought that an avatar was a good way to give others the face behind the keyboard.

Oh, you are going to be SO much fun to tease with!

...I just always thought that an avatar was a good way to give others the face behind the keyboard.

I just don't want to be seen on the 'net ... my own little paranoia I guess. Besides, I'd rather stare at Hoss any day!

Oops ... I forgot to say
