    Big Smile New to Optiboard

    Just wanted to say hi to everyone on the board. I am a second year optometry student at "THE" Southern College of Optometry, and I have been reading some of the threads in this forum. I am very interested to see the viewpoints of others on the various subjects, and I look forward to participating in discussions/debates/arguments/namecalling/temper tantrums.

    So, just a quick howdy, and I look forward to talking with everyone!!

    Welcome to OptiBoard, SCO2004!

    Feel free to jump right into any topics that interest you and to come up with new topics of your own. If you have any questions about how the Board works, don't hesitate to ask me or one of the Moderators. Most of us are pretty friendly! ;)

    SCO2004,

    Welcome to OptiBoard!

    It will be great hearing the views of someone who still has access to all of the official information on topics. You'll be able to let us all know when we have our senile moments and forget what things are "technically" supposed to be.

    Jo

    Most of us are pretty friendly! ;)
    OK Steve, we'll remember that remark.

    Classmates

    I plan to mention this board to some of my classmates, I think it has a wealth of information on it.

    (As well as some interesting insights/opinions into the innerworkings of the optician/optometrist relationship dynamic):D

    Will do

    If I run across her I will mention you are wishing her well, however, I warn you......us SECOND years rarely associate with those lowly first years, so the odds aren't great :hammer:

    Just kidding, but if I run across that name I will try and bring you up!!

    So you're in Fullerton!

    Just down the road from you part of the time. And I've had some of the most incredible fortune to work with people from SCCO. Glad to have you on "Board"

    SCO, not SCCO

    Just a slight correction, strictly FYI

    LaurieC, I am in Memphis, TN and am attending SCO, not SCCO.
    Thanks for the reply and welcome though! I look forward to participating!

    Howdy,

    We extend to you a laurell...and hardy handshake. I did like the reference to "Most of us are pretty friendly!" :)

    I like to consider myself one of the more colorful, but I'm not a "bad guy" unless a person deserves it. I'm the resident "blocker" so to speak. If you need my assistance just let me know. I got your back. ;)

    Welcome and when in Rome do as the Romans.

    Darris C.
