Hi, Marble, it’s nice to meet you. I’m medstar,and I joined in June even though this is only my second post. I have lurked for about 6 months and so far, I feel that I’ve gotten a good of knowledge about several subjects in these various forums. I am a federal gov’t worker bee who lives in Alexandria, VA. I’m in my early forties (egad) and I have no kids or SO. I hope to have a great time perusing these myriad threads. TA-Ta for now [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-to-the-board/71230.md?page=1)
