Amazonian Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Well, as the title states, today is my one year mark here at the Corroboree. Some people celebrate the amount of posts that they have made ie; 500 posts, etc... and make a 'give away out of it' . Well i am celebrating the amount of time that i have been here as a member and i have nothing to give away but my goofball kookinesses, positive vibes. I worked out that i have spent an average of 2 hours a day here ( sometimes more, sometimes less) , over the 365 days that i have been a member,which equates to 730 hours, that's right, a month of my year of solid SAB time.. wow. I found this place after reading a book on Plant Spirit Medicine which mentioned Ayahuasca. I googled to find out more about this amazing sounding brew, and was led here.... it was destiny. Since that day, i have religiously returned to the Corroboree and have become addicted. I have learnt so much along the way. When i first joined, i was confused with who ROFL and AFOAF were , and where were they going to SWIM, and why was a GNOME even mentioned . It took me a while but i worked it out. I came here believing that there were only three things that could make you trip... Cactus, Mushrooms and LSD .I thought that there was only one active mushroom in the world ( P.sub') , and i thought the 'good' cactus could only be found in the country of their origin.... I have learnt stacks and am learning from you guys everyday. This forum is filled with great people who are very knowledgeable, kind and generous, and i am more than happy to be part of the community. Thanks for putting up with me. I have been referring to myself as a 'new member' over the year , but now, at the one year mark, i think i can safely say.. I am a fully fledged member, what do ya reckon? Amz Edited to change thread title. When on a random computer, i searched for sab corroboree, and the title of this thread was almost first to pop up. So i have put spaces between the letters S A B in the hope not to bring unwanted attention to myself, or the forum. Edit again.. it didnt make a difference, i am trying it with full stops between the letters . Cheers , Amz. Edited May 16, 2011 by Amazonian 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicdirt Posted April 30, 2011 Congrats Amazonian ! I joined about the same time as you and I've spent a similar amount of time here too, like you I found the Corroboree by chance whilst looking for something. Serendipity works in mysterious ways, destiny who knows ? I reckon you can stop calling yourself a newb, you're part of the furniture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazonian Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) "4 year SAB anniversary" today !. 4 years down the track from my join date and i am still an active member here. There has been a few major changes (good changes) in my life over this time and i believe that SAB has bit a lot to do with that. Besides giving me a greater want to grow plants, this place has opened my eyes to a lot of different things about life. SAB has also helped me have a more positive outlook on life. I have found friendship here which is a prize in itself. I love the way we encourage (give praise to) each other with our gardening, music, art, pets, amusing stories, photos, sharing knowledge, swapping plants/seeds, give support when in need, etc... I reckon its good that its not open slather here. The forum rules and guidelines help keep this place a well respected forum thats not just about getting wasted (aaallll the time,lol). Its a great thing we have here hey, so.... (*raises glass ) ...heres to another four years or so. I'm glad i'm a part of The Corroboree.
