| 2 | *Waves at Charlieb* I'm in I'm in. This was where I started too, the companionship was invaluable and the cyber and real life friends have been an asset in my life. I don't venture onto the other subjects as I feel at home here. I have found many a great recipe, made lots of great freinds (and some special ones as well) Had a fabulous day out with my girls today, started with looking around AUT... then had the most devine caramel slice and coffee... just for energy... then went to AU to look around... then had the most devine creamy pasta & lemonata at Archies in Newmarket... lots of laughs and a special day with my girls. I live by that famous line from Bambi... made by thumper I think..... If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.

| 10 | This is why I came here 5 years ago: "Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got. Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, You wanna go where people know, winnie231 - 2010-07-08 19:47:00 |

| 16 | Member 632 - wow! I wonder how many of the original 1000 members are still active? On TM that is!! nfh1 - 2010-07-08 20:33:00 |
| 17 | Haven't been on here for a while - (dodgey dinasaur computer keeps clapping out on me) - however I maintain that this is T H E place to be. I think the people on here are so kind and generous with their time and information and loved recipes. One can only hope that things will improve on here and people will come and go, for sure, but lets hope that there's more that stay eh? One Love to you all x darlingmole - 2010-07-08 20:35:00 |
| 18 | Hi, been here at TM since March 2003, really love seeing how one can help another..... (slightly OT but) "it is like the time when one sent his 16 and a half year old son to Madras to visit the real back street living within and his ensuing phone calls describing what he was seeing, and one could see in both of our eyes the genuiness of his voice, this was one trip that opened EYES !!!!!".... In recipes, may this continue as long as possible, especially all the very good import from everyone !!!! I personally have appreciated everyone's import as well as myself...(LOL), and what a great idea to have a thread as such... Cheers everyone.

| 19 | I love recipes... No one makes you feel stupid if you ask a question that seems hard to me yet so simple to everyone else. Everyone is so lovely. alebix - 2010-07-08 20:43:00 |

| 21 | Thanks for starting this thread charlieb2, I was thinking earlier (when I was in the kitchen chopping up dates !) of starting a 'happy thread', so I'm really glad somebody else did it. This is my first port of call for any kitchen or cooking questions ... and I think we need to be encouraging on here. Sometimes lately I have felt too worried to answer somebody's question in case it starts a slanging match. Vive le happy thread ! Almost forgot ... the first time I ever posted on here was to ask about walnuts, another trader ended up giving me a huge bag of them, and we subsequently became great friends. :-) Edited by 2halls at 8:50 pm, Thu 8 Jul 2halls - 2010-07-08 20:48:00 |

| 23 | Not sure when I first started looking at recipes but I've certainly tried many of the ones posted here and have had many questions answered. It's great to see that its reverting to the thread it was a year of two ago. greerg - 2010-07-08 21:06:00 |

| 27 | Hi all, it took me a while to discover the Thread when I joined TM because I wasn't really very computer savvy. Still not an expert but have learnt heaps off here & added to my extensive collection of recipes. I've also sent many to daughters in Oz as they were forever ringing me to ask how to cook something. I have also met a few wonderful people off here & hope to maybe meet some more one day. I too find I hardly post now because of the inhouse politics but I still lurk & learn. Thankyou to everyone. donald6 - 2010-07-08 22:40:00 |

| 29 | To add to my 'tuneful' rendition of the 'Friends' song ... I discovered this MB at a time in my life when things weren't going great for me. winnie231 - 2010-07-08 22:55:00 |

That is really interesting winnie - I always felt everyone was helping me, nice to think all my questions may have helped someone else! nfh1 - 2010-07-08 23:04:00 |

| 32 | I need to add - TM recipes made a tough time in my life bearable. It makes me sad to see all the arguments & name calling that seems to prevail here these days. I hope this thread marks a return to better values here. It may be 'just' a message board - but behind the trader names are real people ... and you never know what difference you may make to someone's life from what you write here. winnie231 - 2010-07-08 23:14:00 |
| 33 | yes I think you are right fisher. I have learnt a lot but most of all I have learnt to try, experiment and most things have turned out well. The odd disaster has occurred but then that is why the Chippy is down the road. In fact, the more I have relaxed about cooking, the better I have got. nfh1 - 2010-07-08 23:20:00 |

| 35 | *jumps up and down and waves madly to charlie* Sooo good to see you. I hope your young men are enjoying the holidays. Recipes has also helped me become a bit more adventurous as a cook. I think I asked my first question (it was about Agee jars) after my mum died and I realised I couldn't just pick up the phone and tap into her greater knowledge. I like the way the messageboard enables me to learn from other people's questions as well as the answers. I find I learn things I had forgotten I was interested in - like Buzzy's post on the difference between 'wheaten cornflour' and ordinary flour, which I remembered being puzzled by as a child as soon as I read the cornflour thread. Anyway - way past bedtime, calista - 2010-07-09 02:02:00 |
| 36 | Gosh Fisher - that's very interesting reading about the early days on Trade Me. I know Kirinesha would love to have joined in here if she could. bedazzledjewels - 2010-07-09 07:13:00 |

Im glad to see that people do agree with that! wahoo! allurs - 2010-07-09 07:20:00 |
| 38 | It is good to see that most of the questions are answered in a non superior way and it makes me wince when an ascerbic note comes in to the answer. Even the top chefs are finding newer ways to improve their dishes (OK some can't be improved upon!) Most of the time I feel comfy here, learning, answering or contributing. lulu239 - 2010-07-09 08:48:00 |

| 42 | hi everyone i know i don't post here very much but i do enjoy the lovely recipes on here ttwisty - 2010-07-09 11:54:00 |
| 43 | Hello to all I have meet and to those I have nearly met..grins (but will one day) and to those I just plain enjoy gidday with, I have not posted for ages the tone was becoming to negative to bother, Well done charlie nice way to bring long time posters together again. I to started out in recipes and seldom go else were on Trademe. I love reading about new ways of doing things or new recipes and enjoying sharing what little knowledge I have.For those who dont know a year ago we sold our home in the city and moved to a life style block and am now growing beef lamb and got chooks planting out an orchard and a veg garden so have gone from lots of dinner parties and entertaining to preserves and jams and ways to cook lots of eggs!!! some are given away and some are sold...and easy dinners (as I dont want to come inside) not so many foodie dinners as most people find the hour or so drive a bit daunting esp with no street lights!!!well thats me and again nice to see old names and friends here. greg.n.michelle - 2010-07-09 12:39:00 |
