Nice to meet you all I had to set up an extra support forum on my board for all my members, and as admin I had to read all those +2000 posts. Of course it felt good that I could do something to help in some small way but I also felt confused, angry, helpless... So after spending many hours on the net I found this place and it was so nice to read all your posts

Now that I have been rambling... please tell me about you <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Welcome!! I'm so glad that you found some comfort here. This is usually where I got when I need to just "let it all out".

It's so nice to "meet" you, and I look forward to see your posts!

Hey there! <img src="graemlins/wavey.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Welcome!

I'm embie, short for Mary Beth. Like Michelle, I'm a single mom. I have two totally neglected and deprived children to whom I hold the title "meanie". That's until they want a 20 friend sleep over, then they just love me to death <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

I live in the Northwest hills of Connecticut (which is on the East Coast) It is beautiful here, especially now with all the colors.

I have recently tip toed past the threshold of 40 and that's all I will say about that!
I work in Areospace electronics but my real full time job is "God Chaser" and I have found it very easy to pursue that career here at Stand. This is a very loving, very supportive board and I am so happy that I was told about it. The people and posts here have been a blessing to me and I am very thankful that the Lord has put them in my path.

I look forward to exchanging posts with you as well. I have a friend that I know on-line that lives in Sweden also. And yet another there from my church. Small world, eh?

Glad you stopped by...hope you decide stay a while.
Rejoice!

Hi Aleina! Welcome to Stand!!!

I am Steve, rambling mens minister-not-so-extraordinaire. I am a husband to the finest and probably most tolerant woman in Texas! I have three kiddos from 5 months to 13 years old. I don't travel much but have been realtively close to you. I went to Stavanger, Norway for an international swim meet way back in the dark ages when I was in high school.


God bless ya!
Steve

Sounds like some cc-cc-coo-ol-ll-ll-ld-dd-dd ww-a-tt-ttt-err Steve <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Hello, I am Jennifer (so glad someone asked, cause I like to talk about myself !) I am 28 and not married and single, and working at a cancer clinic here in our small town. I am an avid reader and attempt to have a sense of humor. Stand is wonderful and the people here are bright, supportive, loving and introspective as well as gentle and simply God sent ! Hope you enjoy our site, we are silly sometimes, and serious at others. We all love God and each other, and we welcome you with open arms !

Thanks for your warm welcome

George

Rachel: I already like it!

Btw, I havent posted in a while because I have moved to a new apartment! My parents and my friend are such angels - they helped me pack, move and today my dad helped me assembling my furniture (ever heard of IKEA? You buy something and then you have to put it together yourself...)

aleina

That's pretty quick.. takes me forever to unpack after moving... 10 years this february to be exact

Allen, I didnt say I had unpacked everything

aleina

Aleina

I think you, Allen and Embie must have taken the same classes in unpacking...........Embie holds the current world record for number of moves without ever opening several boxes of things!!!

HEHEHEHEHE <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0" alt="" />

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

just because they have mistaken our house for UPS doesn't give you the right to mock...

Hey...I have come up with a plan to remedy this...

I'm going to have a yard sale...but it's one of those "surprise" grab bags...instead of bags, they'll be boxes...and you'll have absolutely NO IDEA what you're buying cos the boxes are sealed..
(and I will have no idea what I'm selling... )

heck...who needs to unpack? Just buy new stuff as you need it...

Welcome Aleina!

My name's Dave and I'm 21, married, no kids, own a house in Lovely Lapeer Michigan and work in Automotive Sensor Electronics as a CAD designer.

Stand is the greatest place in the world to meet faithful Christians and all out fun-loving people!

LOL@embie....you have more problems than I thought embie....hahahahah

embie I totally agree with you! This is the fifth time I move in 10 years - and the boxes are still with me

Hey Aleina...we have the same numbers, but reversed...

10 times in 5 years for us...

I just tell my kids that I'm showing them the country so they will be well-rounded... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

and it gives my awesomely creative little girl stories to tell...she just loves that...

Great stories <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Mango is happy to meet you too

Hi Mango <img src="graemlins/wavey.gif" border="0" alt="" /> nice to meet you!
