Hi! I was invited here by a friend (you know who you are!!:D) and I wanted to introduce myself. I am a 32 year old, single female with one cat living in NJ. I am originally from TX, and hope to move back there some day. I work for a huge company as a Field Engineer. While I love what I do, I do not like the location. I have the mind of a 12 year old boy, so I find things like the word penis completely snicker worthy. I am also an ex-sailor (is anyone truly ever an ex-sailor??) I served for 5 years, 3 months, and 15 days, but who counted!! I am usually VERY sarcastic and do not mean any harm by it. Most likely, I will lurk for quite a bit to try to get a good feel for the people of this board. If you have any questions or anything I will answer what I can! ---

Welcome! What kind of sailor were you? I had a tad over 11 years on active duty starting in '73. First 6 years were as an AT, then I went over to the dark side and became an officer… I actually volunteered to go on a ship as soon as they opened that to women, but they sent me to the Pentagon instead - how sucky is that?? Anyway, welcome! ---

Welcome Less QQ. You sound as though you will fit in well. As a sailor, you will know about the squid and the Golden Rivet. ---

It’s from a movie or something where the person stands up during a meeting and says their name and everyone repeats it. I wish I could remember where it’s from. As for pictures, I really don’t know, but I think the usual method is to post them to a sight like Flickr or Photobucket and put the link in a post.
