Getting to know one another

I am finding it easier to remember all your pets than I am at remembering all of you. I'd like to start a place where we can "describe" ourselves.

I live in Eugene Oregon but am from Southern California. Ihave two brothers (age 16 and 25) and one sister, who is 15. I also have an adorable nephew Ethan who is 2 and a half years!

I have five kitty cats, most related. Houdini, the momma kitty, Mystic from Houdinis first litter, Tin Tin and Cheetah from Houdinis second litter and Spanky- a domestic short haired orange tabby. Houndini, Cheetah, Mystic and Tin Tin are Bengal Cats.

I also have a huge goldfish who is pushing three years! A white spot gecko, a tortoise, a wild house mouse, a hedgehog, and TONS of rats including hairless, odd eye, rex, dumbo, tailless etc.

I also take care of wildlife and do exotic animal rescue so I have other critters as well.

I am 23 but STILL don't know how to drive, love to design web sites (you can see mine by clicking the www in my profile) and like to paint/draw animals, as well as photgraph pets. I guess that's enough about me...anything else? lol

Hey Luckies, I didn't get my licence until I was nearly 23. My dad offered to teach me but on the first lesson I took him around a roundabout on two wheels and that was my last lesson!

Oh, I forgot to put the driving info.

I can drive a stick shift, we share a standard Corolla (1991, over 180,000 miles on it and still going strong) and we have a new automatic Honda CRV - 4-wheel drive, as we live on a steep hill, and our driveway is another steep incline up from street level.

Age: 32
Husband named Kit
Age:42
We both work in the Music Industry
NO CHILDREN
3 furry kids
1 Pembroke Corgi-- LOUD Louie

24 years old
female

hates driving, takes bus or lets husband drive
one cat in house, one dog with family in the States
hobbies: laughing, eating, travelling, reading, surfing the net

Ok what is it now about driving?:rolleyes:

Ya I can't drive, so what! I don't have a need for it anyway......when I win the lotto maybe then that will give me a reason to buy a car.

Mike's birthday is April 30 too!!

I'm Kelly
Married to my hubby, David (May 19, 2001)
Four furkids: Noah, Noel, Basil & Olivia
Student at night, working for insurance co. (leaving soon for a job I'll actually enjoy. :) )
No kids yet...waiting for a while. ;)

I am Emily
Married to Chuck. last year--August 31, 2002
I am 26, he's 27
I am a waitress, he sells Hondas
We have an Accord and a CR-V (the crv is mine)--and I can drive stick!!
We live in an apartment in State College, PA (home of PSU), but are currently home shopping
No skinkids yet, waiting a little bit
2 furkids, a Shiba named Kito, and a beagle mix named Abbey, both 15 months old!!

I'm Tiffanie, but everyone calls me Tiff.
23, pratically engaged to Joey(cop/Marine). Together for 6 years on March 2. Told him I wouldn't say Yes until he has the right ring! :p
Born and raised in New Orleans, LA. Finishing up my last semester of college(wooohoooo!!) while working for an Insurance Agency(awesome place, I can work full time while I search for the perfect job, post-grad. The president of the company is awesome and has told me once I decide where I want to work, he'll make some phone calls!)
I live by myself with my furbabies and LOVE it. I got my first furbaby, Rory ferret, 2 years ago and have slowly expanded to having 5 wonderful ferts and 3 percocious kitties.

I am Staci, 27 years old
no skin kids or significant other in the mix.
I have 2 nephews that I adore.
I enjoy reading, watching TV, spending time with my pets and family, talking with friends wether it be in person or via instant message. Nothing warms my heart better than being snuggled up in bed with Kylie and Keegan or on the couch with Kylie curled up beside me.
As far as driving goes, I live in a small po-dunk town, and if I didn't drive, I would be a hermit!!! :eek: I can drive a stick, but don't own one. I have a 2001 Olds Alero, that I love!

I'm Alyson, 24 yrs old, live in Austin, TX (getting ready to move AGAIN .. staying in Austin though)

As most of you know, I have 2 dogs, a cat, some fishies, and a foster dog who doesn't look like she's going anywhere anytime soon.

My life pretty much consists of working with animals and finishing school. I work at the Central Texas SPCA and volunteer at the Austin Humane Society, both no-kill shelters. I also do a lot of fostering, transports, temp testing, behavioral modification, etc etc. I have been doing internships with several trainers in my area.

My dream is to open my own shelter. I want it to be huge and concentrating on the comfort levels and stress reduction of the animals. I also want to have an obedience part of it where I offer classes to the public and also take shelter animals through. And I think a neat idea would be to have a therapy part where I can put the most well behaved animals and have under privilaged kids who can't have their own pets come interact with them.

HI! I am Tonya, 23 yrs old (today! 2/16), originally from the East but currently residing in Hobbs, NM. Not married, no boyfriend, no kids...it's just me and my kitty 'n bunny.

I hope to begin working on my MA in Tech writing this coming fall. Eventually, I want to obtain my MFA in Poetry...but that will be on down the road!!

I enjoy reading, surfin' the net, writing (mainly poetry tho some prose), drawing, and making greeting cards (making the paper, embossing, stamping, you name it)! And ofcourse I enjoy anything that has to do with animals!!! I was on the varsity equestrian team at NMSU(competed in both western and english shows) -- and I miss it DEARLY!!!!!!!!

I hope to one day operate a bunny rescue and, as bunnies and horses are very similar (digestive track/food wise), you can't have one without the other! lol Soooo maybe a handful of rescued horses as well!

As far as cars go... I have a '01 Nissan Sentra (automatic). I can't drive a standard to save my soul!!!!

I'm Naomi. I'm 22, and my bday is Sept. 29. I have three furkids, but no skin kids - and for now it's gonna stay that way! I have no interest in children until I have a career. I have a boyfriend, Nathan, that I've been with for five years. He's still in school and lives quite far away from me, so marriage is not in the cards just yet. Right now I'm not working, but I'm in university. I'll finally be done my English degree in April (whew! took long enough!). Then I want to find a mundane job and save up for a while before I go back to school and do something.. just not sure what yet.

And as far as driving goes - I drive a 1980 Chev. Monte Carlo. It's quite the boat, but I LOVE it (expect for it's gas guzzling). It's an automatic - standards really scare me (the rolling back part). Plus, I usually have a coffee or something with me.. I know it's bad but I never leave myself with enough time. I don't hold it and drive though - I take sips at stop lights/signs.

I also really enjoy chatting with friends online or in person :)

I'm Amy. I'm 18, will be 19 on June 7 this year....gemini. :D

I'm not married...have no kids...(duh)...I've never even had a boyfriend.....basically, I'm a loser. :D

I have 3 dogs. Reggie and Smokey are family dogs, Nebo is my dog. I love dogs! :) I had some fish and frogs at one point, but that was several years ago. I had some "pet" horned lizards and other lizards I caught...those are awesome...I only kept them for a day though, and let them go again. I'd love to get a kitty eventually!

I graduated high school in 2002. I didn't end up going to college, as I had no money. Not that I have any money now either. I work at Petco as a Bath and Brusher and make a crappy $6 an hour. It's fun though. :)

I'm hoping to go to college this coming fall. For now I'm just going for a general ed, hopefully eventually I'll major in art or I've even thought about a vet assistant.

I guess my hobbies are the Internet (lol), attempting to train my stubborn husky...hehe.....and drawing/painting animals. I run a website called Pet Portraits...it badly needs to be updated, but here's the url: http://www.geocities.com/wolf_Q I also *love* to photograph my pets, as well as wildlife/scenery. I enjoy camping, and the regular things like going to movies, shopping, etc. Of course I LOVE music too! :D

As for the driving....I got my license when I was 16....I drive a really crappy old (think its either 87 or 89) "old lady car" dark blue buick century. I have no clue how to drive a stick.

I don't know why, but I just can't bring myself to put my real name on here! I guess I'm afraid of being cyber-stalked or something :D. Anyway, I'm 41 years old, born July 9th (a Cancer), married 5/7/83, one daughter, 15 years old, who posts on PT as YellowLabLover. I have 2 older sisters; one in England getting her PhD in Linguistics at Cambridge University, and one in Appleton who I don't talk to any more because she's psycho.
:p I never went to college, so I am stuck in a hellish job as a department manager in a large discount store chain. I think I can drive a stick shift but haven't since sometime in the 80's, so maybe I forgot how. I drive a green mini-van too; they're pretty common, aren't they? (Mine has a severed Ken doll head on the antenna so I can find it in mall parking lots though - don't ask :D) My husband is kind of the Grizzly Adams type; bearded, rugged, likes to kill stuff, but deep down a really nice guy who loves pets. I love to do anything that will de-stress me or make me laugh, like going on Pet Talk, watching comedy shows / videos, surfing the Net, taking pictures of the kitty and YLL's ratties, playing pranks on my daughter, and stuffing my face with whatever I want, whenever I want. In the warmer months I like to go to mule shows and state/county fairs around the country.

Amy, you crack me up with "I'm basically a loser" - PLEASE! You are NOT a loser. I didn't get a boyfriend until I was 19, and I ended up married happily ever after, so there's hope for you yet.
Enjoy your freedom while you have it ;) :p .
