I voted with all the other "lurkers"....I am soaking in all the knowledge that is flowing between those of you in the know. P.S. I love picking up on English sayings for different things, I even feel like I'm learning in that catagory, too!

Thanks girls, you always make my day!!

From a poster to a lurker - 09-01-07, 07:06 PM

I used to post quite often but now only browse really. The reason being that I feel most topics have been covered already and even when a new one arises it is answered before I get the chance! I still occasionally pick up new tips and tricks though which help so will continue to browse for some time to come.....

I'm guilty of being a lurker at the moment! but i think thats because I dont really have anything to contribute now but when I do start my course I can bet that I will be a total pain to you all!

we are all coming to the surface now. I'm at work geeking (and I probably shouldn't be) but this site is so inciteful as I am in training so I can follow my dream rather than be a PA for the rest of my life! I honestly don't know what I would have done if i hadn't found this site. It's brilliant. truly grateful for all tips etc;

I've been gone a while and only recently started popping in again so I'm a lurker again. Funny how quickly you can feel 'out of the loop', not that I was ever in it but you know what I mean ...................

Not sure i am classed as a lurker.. but i did spend the first few weeks just cruising and only posting on topics i thought were relevant to me.. Its important to find your groove baby! TBH i have enjoyed reading just as much as posting.. so much so that im looking into doing a creative course next month because i am REALLY interested in using their products..((Cant hurt to see how it goes when offering it to my clients)) Also untill i found this Gem of a site i had never really considered Airbrushing.. but i think there could be a major market for it where i am..not to mention the fact that it has stimulated me visualy!!
so all in all.. lurking was a bit of a godsend.. But Im out and Im proud now..

I lurked totally for the first 6 months as I had trouble getting my account activated and couldn't post at all. Now I'm able to post you'll probably still not hear much from me. I have very little experience so for now will watch and learn and hopefully in time will be able to pass on some knowledge to other newbies.

I lurk because I feel that other geeks have more knowledge as I have just completed my course and don't want to seem silly. As I don't want to be a PA for the rest of my working life I use this site a lot to search for help on topics that I don't feel confident in. The site is fantastic and full of great information, tips, etc. I'll try not to lurk any more

Hi, I'm definately a lurker newbie geek GUILTY AS CHARGED . I'm a mature part time beauty student NVQ2. I've just completed my first year and have passed waxing and nail treatments (natural nails) along with health & safety. Our new term starts next week and we'll be starting facials and skin care. I don't feel I can contribute towards discussions yet as in my opion I've not had enough experience. I've only performed treatments either in college or at home on friends and family incidentally they all resemble plucked chickens but with nice hands and feet I've not done any work yet on paying clients as I don't feel my treatments are professional enough yet (I am a bit of a perfectionist) but may also be due to my lack of self confidence. Sorry for the long one but I feel much better now after my CONFESSION

Am trying to enrol on a training course at the mo. So whilst I am waiting am trying to gather as much info and advice as possible. But I don't feel that I am in a position to comment on any professional topics so if nobody minds can I continue to lurk for a while longer.
