Holy cow, I'm being lovebombed!

My sincerest thanks to all of you for the welcomes. It's the wisdom and wit that I've been seeing from the CoS members on this board, year after year, that finally pushed me over the edge to take the plunge. I'm deeply honored to be accepted so warmly. Thank you.
Mine finally came as well!
Excellent! I think that Central probably did a whole batch of us at once -- besides us there's at least one more on the board whose card arrived recently too. So, Hail Batchmates!
How long did it take to come in after you sent for it? I'm applying very soon.
Something on the order of 8 weeks, mailbox to mailbox.
I thought this was going to be some retarded thread saying, "Okay guys. List everything you like that's orange!"
Well hey, if anybody feels like talking about how much they love traffic cones, I'm in far too good a mood to jump on them for it.
And finally, a quick note to whoever it was at Central that picked out the postage stamps --
You crack me up.-Chess
