Posted by jcbsjr[/QUOTE]

Same here. If a burgler ever breaks into our house while I'm sleeping, they're getting a peepshow before I blow their fucking head off. Pants tucked into socks sounds like torture, I could NOT sleep like that. That's like wearing a straight jacket for your legs.

[QUOTE]Engaged? married? date? Married 5/28/2011 Any pets? Nope, none. Favorite thread you've read on here so far? Duckface thread was awesome. I like threads like that (PIP, polls, lovefest, etc).

Watching "Deadliest Catch" doesn't make me miss Alaska at all (like it does for my H). It just makes me hungry.

I love Deadliest Catch! It always makes me cold when I watch it.

Rachers! I love your sig pic!

DodgersBride · April 2012

Thank you Blue and Smash..He is a great dog. He is so good with my nephews and other kids. I was trying to find a good picture and I came across one with my grandma and he is just about the same size as her and she is cuddling with him.

blgrout · April 2012

Engaged? married? date?
I'm another April 29th bride. We've been engaged since August 2011, and will celebrate 5 years of coupleness in June.

Any pets?
Officially, we have 2 cats, Ninja and Zeus. But we were more or less adopted by 3 feral cats that live in our backyard that we occasionally feed, so if you count them, it makes us crazy cat people.

Favorite thread you've read on here so far? Least favorite?
The drama llama threads are interesting...especially the OMG I don't approve of how my BFF spends her money threads.

Random thing about yourself so we can get to know you.
I run an auto repair shop. FI and I met because he works for the same company...which is owned by my parents. There's a lot of good and a lot of bad that goes along with both of those.

Smash Adams · April 2012

Engaged? married? date? Divorced as of 12/29/11

Any pets? Simon, but thinking about maybe adding another once exams are over. We'll see.

Favorite thread you've read on here so far? Least favorite?

The FFFs during TKCOs were fucking fascinating reads. I'm a total sucker for drama. I like Lovefests too, and am sad that I missed the last one.

Least favorite are probably wedding related ones, for obvious reasons.

Random thing about yourself so we can get to know you.

I work from home most days and plan to spend every nice day this summer working on my front porch. Which is what I'm doing right now. And it's awesome.

Do you still have anything left to do?

catarinakittykat · April 2012

Hi all!!

Engaged? married? date?

Engaged, our wedding is September 29, 2012

Any pets?

We don't have a dog yet, but found a puppy a few weeks ago that we will be adopting once she is old enough. She is only 3 weeks old, and we still aren't really sure what kind of puppy she is. We are pretty sure she is going to be big though!

Favorite thread you've read on here so far?

I always enjoy the threads that start out as one thing and end up with everyone talking about something completely different, like the rice convo yesterday

Random thing about yourself so we can get to know you.

I love baking!

LesPaul · April 2012

married? 8/1/2009 According to TK, we've been married 993 days.
Any pets? Nala is my avatar. Here are my boys, Cheddar and Muenster

Favorite thread you've read on here so far? I like the GM threads. It's like having coffee with friends in the morning. I also enjoy a lively AYG, but lately they've been pretty lame. Least favorite? I don't like abortion debates and threads like that

Random thing about yourself so we can get to know you. I'm a CPA, and I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps.

blgrout · April 2012

We just need to pick out a menu for our RD, which we're doing on Sunday (picking the menu). Other than that, I need to finish wrapping WP gifts, but that's about it. I think. And you Springbride? Anything left?

brandichamberlain · April 2012

I've seen random people I've never noticed before the last week. Tell me about yourselves.

Engaged? married? date? Engaged as of 10/01/11. Wedding is 7/14/12. Side note: FI and I are applying for a covenant marriage license. Info to be found here: http://www.nwamarriages.com/about/pdf/cov_marriage_app.pdf

Any pets? Sadie ( I call her my little Dood or doodles) She is a 3 year old teacup poodle and she only weighs 2 lbs. She is pretty much a holy terror, but look at that face.

Favorite thread you've read on here so far? Least favorite?
I enjoyed feeling all the love yesterday. I hate posts about how rude people are. I don't get what they want to gain from those.

Random thing about yourself so we can get to know you.
I work full time in the corporate office of a bank. I go to school full time for Business Administration (online). I live in central AR, but am from PA (born and raised). My FI plays semi-pro football and was scouted by three NFL teams last year (fingers crossed for getting picked up this season!). I drink maybe 3 times a year (certain restaurants have stuff I really like, so I splurge and get them from time to time). I have OCD, and it takes over several aspects of my life (my desk and the grocery store being some of the major ones). I hate wearing make up and doing my hair. I drive a 2011 Cruze, and I LOVE it. I have a terrible relationship with my mother. FI and I are looking into teaching English for a year in Italy, Spain, or Germany next year.

arwo · April 2012

I'm definitely more of a lurker these days.

Engaged? married? date? Married, 9/25/2010

Any pets? Two cats, Dunkel and Otto. We call them the Germans.

Favorite thread you've read on here so far? Least favorite? I tend to like the UO threads, as long as the opinions are ACTUALLY unpopular. I hate the UO threads when someone is like "I don't like welfare fraud!" or whatever. Duh, shut up.

Random thing about yourself so we can get to know you. I get teary and emotional if I am exposed to too much sensory stimulation. It's weird and embarrassing. There's this one hallway in Chicago O'Hare airport that plays loud music and projects colored patterns on to the wall and it makes me cry every time I go through it. So stupid.

SpringBride2012 · April 2012

I still have to get the welcome bags for the hotel guests. Put our favors together. They are personalized M&M's so I wanted to wait till the last minute so they stay fresh. Also, have to print the programs but that's about it.

CAB1217 · April 2012

Married 12/17/2011

Any pets?
I inherited a Queensland Healer named Max through my marriage. He's a big boy, and not very cute lookin' at all, but I love him No picture because I'm an awful step-mom.

Favorite thread you've read on here so far? Least favorite?
I like FFF's usually, and the "ZOMG you guys are meanies" posts. No least favorite that I can think of.

Random thing about yourself so we can get to know you.
Let's see... I am a huge Queen fan, I was born on April fools day, and I've held the following jobs in my life: Private investigator, pre school teacher, Makeup artist, Insurance agent, and finally, Adoption admin. Can't get anymore random than that.

[QUOTE]In Response to Hey newbs and lurkers... come in here. : Hello all! Engaged 08/16/11, wedding date 11/10/12 in Buffalo NY No pets yet, planning on getting a pooch after the wedding. Can't wait! Fave threads - I like the Unpop ops/we get/open letter type threads. I usually read this board and the Etiquette board for entertainment, tho I've learned lots of things i didn't know from the e-board. Least favorite - I've had a couple people - not necessarily on this board - be really nasty to me when I mentioned we are not having a religious-type ceremony. Didn't care for that. Random thing: The part of the wedding that stresses me out the most is buying wedding party gifts. For some reason I am super self-conscious and awkward about gift giving. The part I am most looking forward to is seeing FI see me for the first time.

Watkins Glen, NY. Homer Falls

It is a fun walk along a raised path to get to this site. Worth the trip (besides the wineries in the finger lakes are the best!)

Thanks, Helmut (my dog) is a blast. He is such a clown.

My least favorite and the same ol' debates about BC, or whatever.

I always sing in the shower, and I sing and dance in the car. Mostly to cheesy 90's music.

Awesome, someone else with random jobs and interests. Whenever I rattle off my past jobs I get the weirdest looks.

Retail sales associate, vet assistant, shorebird rehabilitator, zoo educator, professor, copywriter, author, beer cart girl, gardener. Crap. I've had a lot of jobs.

ski2play · April 2012

Matty, Sandy is sweet!

acaponi87 · April 2012

I'm not a newb but I've recently decided that I like this group of ladies I'm trying to make more of an effort. I'm engaged and the wedding is coming up quick: June 16th! No pets..but I'm dying for a dog! FI grew up w/dogs I always wanted 1 but my parents hate animals so as soon as we get into an actual house with a yard we'll get one. German Shorthaired Pointer probably. I like book food threads. 2 of my favorite things. Random stuff: FI and I live in Cinci but are both from the Detroit area are huge Detroit sports fans. I'm a teacher who's subbing right now. We are trying to move back to MI after the wedding. I'm a tuba player. Andddd I've been in zero gravity before. That's enough random stuff for now.

jcg98 · April 2012

Koda, I love that picture of Koda. Classic!

AllAboutTheBenjamin · April 2012

Brandi that is sweet about your FI being a semi-pro football player. I will now automatically imagine him as a hot ass footballer in those tight pants.

I'm an admitted jersey-chaser who married a video game geek

Haha.

jcg, Lucy does have pretty expressive eyes. She kills me. Last night we were snuggling on the couch and she was staring at me forever, it was getting awkward. It was like she was saying "Oh my goodness. You are the best. I love you times infinity." When she begs at the dinner table it looks like she's saying "ZOMG. PLEASE GIVE ME A BITE. YOU NEVER FEED ME ANYTHING. I HAVE DESPERATIONS." My favorite face of hers is in the morning when she first wakes up. "Mom, not now. I'm tired. Zzzzzz."

Oh and arwo - I also cry at the drop of a hat. It is terrible.
