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 . 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.
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 ) 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 .
