I've been here since Jan, but predominantly lurking and reading! One day my time will come too :'(

It definitely will, probably when you least expect it.
That’s exactly how it happened for me.
And if the Apprentice party keeps going,
the mods might decide to hand out a few more hats soon! 🙂

easy (ish). math in any form was never my strong point. I probably do these things because they are challenging.
My 12 year old is doing more complicated math than I ever did in school!

I agree,sometimes I look at what kids are learning today and think ‘there’s no way I was doing that at that age!’ My brain definitely learns better by practice than by theory. I went for a language‑focused track because, honestly, grammar (Italian and Latin included) and books make way more sense to me than formulas and math ever will!

Good on you for seeing the importance of learning/relearning your metric system. Also pay attention to the use of decimal places... Don't wanna be blasting 25mg when what you really wanted was .25mg....Take your time and don't be in a hurry to spend yer money. Lots of good reconstitution/doseing calculators. I like https://calc.injectionshop.com/. Hey lookie there I just drug and pasted sumptin. 1st for me.... Still not up to learning bitcoin or what ever it's called. Trying to bribe a grand kid to come over and do it for me 3-4 times...

Borrowing a grandkid to help with crypto is a good idea !

Any room for a newbie apprentice 😉. I’d like to thank you for all the encouragement and push to reach this milestone I couldn’t have done it without you 🤣

Oh my gosh, me too! I swear I just got bumped up to Apprentice and immediately felt like someone handed me a slightly fancier hat and said, “Congrats, you now know… marginally more than before.”
I also arrived here looking like a lost tourist clutching a map upside‑down, so seeing that little rank upgrade felt like winning an Oscar for “Best Attempt at Not Panicking.”
Totally with you on the gratitude — the community has been ridiculously kind, patient, and willing to explain things I definitely should’ve understood the first three times.
Here’s to us slowly leveling up, pretending we know what we’re doing, and eventually becoming the wise elders who say things like, “Back in my newbie days…”
What’s the first thing you want to tackle now that we’re officially Apprentices? 🙂

When and where are the meetings for the chosen ones
Click to expand...
From what I understand, the chosen ones meet in a very secret castle somewhere. Apprentices like us are not yet cleared for that level of classified information. 🤷‍♀️

I've asked our developers to come up with an add-on which randomly demotes people back to newbie status. Just because it will amuse me, and I am a child at heart.

Please no! I just got comfortable pretending I know what I’m doing.

Alright everyone, behave yourselves… the party is officially over 😄

Congrats. I definitely like how they make you pay your dues on this forum. First time I’ve seen a structure like that on a forum. You can definitely see who’s read the rules and who hasn’t.
Click to expand...
I actually appreciate that structure too. It encourages people to take the time to read, learn, and understand the rules. As a newcomer, it also helped me feel that the community values thoughtful participation, and it helps keep out some of the more disruptive or harmful behavior.
 
Woo-hoo!!! I made it as well 🎉 Big thanks to the moderators and all the peeps out there sharing all the wonderful knowledge for us newcomers. I hope to be able to give back to this community, What an awesome group of folks we have in here.
What's the secret password for the meetings???

Toured Italy back in 73. Monaco when no race going. Fancy restaurant on the beach in Nice,,,they didn't know how to make ravioli's, Fact it was really hard to find a good pizza any where. 1st restaurant we came across in Italy we stopped for Spaghetti, somptin lost in the translation there. Spent a whole afternoon laying aroun under the Leanin Tower of Piza. Best Italian food was found in Germany. Good Times..
