Reintroducing Myself

[espressoguy]

Well, since I didn't really introduce myself when I started visiting the forum a few years ago, I suppose this is an introduction.

For the past 1 1/2 years I have worked for an independent P&C agency. I left about a month ago when I got tired of working for "The Man" Prior to that I worked as a financial advisor for 1 1/2 years.

Having now worked both life and P&C, I have decided that I much prefer life. I am seriously considering starting my own agency. I appreciate the vast wealth of knowledge that this forum has to offer. I look forward to becoming an active participant.

Welcome. No..."Welcome" is what everyone says. How about a new greeting. Live long and prosper.

Since welcome is over used how about "may you have strength" (Yasher koach).

"Howdy Partner" and "Yasher koach" are quite acceptable.

Obviously, the following greetings would not be very well received:

"Eat sh*t and die"
"Welcome to the Forum but stay the hell out of my state."
"Your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries"
"I envy my sleep when you post. Because they are asleep"

I have one for you: Toire wa doko desu ka?

Wakarimas

Just went. Even though I am sansei, I speak very little. I had to look it up. Almost all the Japanese I know I learned from the TV series, "Shogun."

You guys are becoming too educated and sophisticated for a someone like me. I am more comfortable with "good to have you, come back now ye hear" or "hey buddy how ye doing".
