What are your thoughts on potatos and mac & cheese? Where did you get your s/n from? It sounds almost as awesome as naming your cats Zin and Pinot.

[QUOTE]Welcome! What motorcycle did you just buy?
Posted by motoLyn[/QUOTE]
I just bought a 1991 Suzuki VX800.
I am taking the safety class now and if all goes well I'll pass the test on Saturday and get my license!
[QUOTE]You're the one with the awesome cat names!!! I've been meaning to find you and tell you that I love them, LOL What are your thoughts on potatos and mac & cheese? Where did you get your s/n from? It sounds almost as awesome as naming your cats Zin and Pinot.

Thanks! :)
My s/n is our names.. he's DTonk (his name is Dan and Tonk is part of his last name) and I'm Amanda, so I'm ATonk.
Mac and Cheese is the best! My favorite is Boston Market M&C but I love all (Kraft, Velveeta, and homemade). I'm also a fan of potatoes! I love potatoes roasted in the oven with olive oil and herbs and spices.
As a background for the cat names: DTonk makes wine (I know, yum!.. we have about 90 gallons in his mom's basement) and when we were trying to name our first cat he suggested "Zin" and since we couldn't think of anything better we went with that. So naturally the next one had to be a wine kitty too :)
[QUOTE]Welcome. This is gonna sound like a crap thing to ask and I promise I'm a nice person, but have you and your SO been together since you were 16 and he was well over that? I just noticed your age difference and while I'm not big on that, I saw 7 years together, noticed you were 24 and he was 32 and counted backwards. So um....welcome to NEY!

That's alright, someone was bound to ask. I was 17 when we met and he was 25. He was friends with someone I went to high school with. I've always dated guys that were older than me (just not that much older!). It was weird at first because everyone seemed to have a problem with it. Everyone eventually got over it.
Age is nothing but a number in which to be judged by.

Welcome! And I hear you, DK and I are 5 1/2 years apart starting when I was 19 and he was 25 and we got a ton of grief too. Fast forward 4 years I'm 23 and he's almost 29 and people don't even seem to notice the difference anymore.
Welcome!

Exactly! And when we got together people thought I was 22. I didn't exactly act like a giddy immature 17 year old girl either so maturity-wise we were fine. It's the number people got tripped up over.
