Tell me something about yourself...

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

I'm Julie and I'm 32. I'm married with three children - Cameron (15), Amber (14) and Amy (12)

I was born in Scotland, grew up in South Africa, and moved to Bahrain (Middle East) 4 years ago.

I am owned by 2 cats, Ally and Connor. I lost my job in December, and am looking for another one, but help out at my local shelter.

I love to travel, love cruises, and would love to move the the USA or Australia!

[CatMama78]

My name is Angela. I'm 26 and live in Plano (Dallas metro) Texas. I live with my boyfriend who is 30. We have been together 2 1/2 years. We live with 2 cats named Oreo and Wilber (in my Sig). I like to watch TV (I know, not healthy), read and play with my guys and shop. I went to school in New Orleans for four years and loved it, although I admit I got into a lot of trouble there. Besides that, I was born and raised here in Dallas.

I also am very unhappy with my job and am looking to find a different field.

Great thread! This should help me become acquainted with the Pet Talkers who have joined while I was gone.

I'm Thelma, a 33 year old single chick living in NYC with my two terrible orange tabbies, Elvis and Jack Daniel, plus two turtles, Yertle and TimTam.

I adopted Elvis and JD from a shelter three years ago, and they truly are like sunshine in my life. Elvis is now about 5 years old and JD is about 3 1/2.

My dad gave me Yertle back in 1992, but I'm not sure how old he is. He's a lovely box turtle with fabulous bright orange eyes. He has been with me for quite a while and he's very special to me.
I got TimTam from a friend whose 13 year old son didn't want him anymore. I think he may be some kind of river turtle, and he has a flat shell and two bright yellow stripes up his neck all the way up to his little nostrils. His eyes are brown and he's quite handsome. I have had him for about 2 years now. He's a lovely little guy, and I'm so glad to have him as part of my crew.

I love being with friends and/or family, I love to have a drink or two and shoot the breeze, and I love going upstate to the mountains on weekends to clear my mind, breathe some fresh air and see lots and lots of green.

I used to be into photography, but honestly, I have let that go a little. I love to read, listen to cheesy 70s and 80s music and play Scrabble, Yahtzee and Trivial Pursuit (even though I'm not too good at TP!).

Oh, and I'm very long-winded with my posts (the old-timers here can tell you that!), but I'm very happy to be back here at Pet Talk!

Tina, you wanna talk about going all out for holidays?! Your hubby and my gf need to start a support group! LoL She has a storage unit FULL of decorations. She has a tree for every holiday - Halloween, Easter (we celebrate the Pagan spring equinox ), Valentines Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and of course Christmas. Come Xmas time, there's a tree in every room, lights around every window, elves and deer playing in the yard, santas on the roof, tinsel and wreaths all over the house... Christmas is her fav holiday... in fact, she's always said whenever we get settled somewhere and buy a house she wants a Christmas room. I love her so I just go along with it. hehe I love decorating and all but DAMN! LoL I'm slightly worried about what she's gonna do for my birthday this year... the big Quarter Century! hehe Knowing her, it'll be strippers and pinatas and goddess knows what else!

It's going to be difficult to remember everyone on here but, it's so cool to see so many!!!!!!!!

Binka_nugget.......I do have msn but, I'm not sure what aim is??? I'm not the greatest at computers period. So, any knowledge would be very helpful.

I'm just not sure if I should IM people.....do you guys like that more than posting in general?
I talk A LOT so, people might get bored with what I say!!! I'm a good listener too but, when it comes to be my turn......watch out. My husband always throws it in my face that when we 1st met, how he couldn't get a word in edge wise!!!!!

[mruffruff]

I've been on PetTalk for about 3 years or so, but I don't post a lot. I can only access the Net from work so I can lurk but don't have a lot to say.

I'm 61 and 3/4, single, and office manager for a neon sign supply distributor.

My skin kid is 38 and HER skin kid is almost 9.

I have 4 dogs, all mixes; Bear, Scruffy, Samson and Bella Mae
--and 7 cats; BC, Dale, Mooch, Shai, Missy, Scooter, and as of last night, Gary. The cats have their own room and an ouside pen for their safety.

I keep busy with home improvements, reading and rescue. I also help Pets, Inc., a no-kill shelter as much as I can.
