Red face Getting to know you....

I am new to MajorGeeks so I thought I would introduce myself and maybe find out more about you all. I am in Idaho, but I am not an Aryan. I eat steak and potatoes and drive a pickup truck, usually not at the same time. I support my troops and pay my taxes. I like parrots and Social Distortion. Under my desk I have Windows XP, Red Hat Enterprise and OSX on one switch box. After reading my mail I can tell you where to find the best mortgage, Viagra, porn ohh and apparently I won a prize somewhere. I managed to get my wife hooked on the biker build offs and American Chopper on TV so I figure it’s just a matter of time before I get that Harley. I like solving problems and moving on…so I hate repetition. I have ADD and tattoos but still managed to learn to write a little code. I currently manage a help desk at a local University so I am not in it for the money Ohh yeah, I can be sarcastic sometimes too. I love to help out when I can and I am grateful for help that I receive. I hope this tells you about me. What about you?

Welcome micr0dv8. Sorry I am not one for much typing tonight, but I can tell you I am one tired, over worked lady. Guess your going to have to observe me for a while if you want to know anything about me. Summer is my busy season, so I will be dead on my butt for the next few months.

Welcome micr0dv8, Im new here too, and so far everyone seems pretty cool. Not much to say about me really, just that I am a recent graduate of Web Design and Developement, I have done a few websites and many graphics. I found this site and thought it would be a great place to learn a few things and make some friends. Also, I am a female, and old enough to know better yet young enough not to care. Oh and I have a warped sense of humour, so beware!!:

Hey, how's it goin'. I'm from IN and I drive a pick-up too. I run hardening furnaces for a Fortune 500 company. I have a slight dyslexia problem so I'm giving you the high-five for not letting anything hold you back. I had a parrot once. He wouldn't shut up, so I put him in the freezer. When I took him out, he looked at me and said "Just tell me what I have to do so I don't end up like that chicken in there.":D

Welcome :D
sounds to me like you will fit right in. If you want to know more about some of us, check out some of the older threads, like debbie's to say hi.
http://www.majorgeeks.com/vb/showthread.php?t=34445

Then you will know if you want to run away or not.
Me, I'm an NZ expatriate, married forever, 2 teens (one of each), 2 ancient cats, one Shepherd/ Boxer dog, 42 million rabbits out back working their way through all living vegetation, I like tacos and would probably like cannollis but the local mafia won't send me one, so I am an undecided in that area. I am a fibre artist and an almost-real estate agent. I like to annoy the big guys here. I don't know zip about programming but am learning a lot about all the things my pc can and can't do thanks to the fine folk here.

Welcome to the worlds largest and most diverse Geek Zoo..
careful with what you feed them. Tacos are best when in doubt.

I have a psychology degree.. does that count?
and whenever someone says "taco" you should automatically transpose that to "cannoli". It's safer that way.. :D

Unfortunatley I can't work any more due to being rear-ended twice within 4 months so now I spend my time fiddling with my puter, fixing other peoples puters and doing a lot of graphics work. I'm hoping to set up a home based business so I can say goodbye to the disability payments and feel like a productive member of society again:D Will have to add that second hard drive first though...I only have 10 gigs of space left cuz of all the stuff I've made:
Well, I don't miss the snow cause we have it too much!! But I don't know if I would trade that to swim with Sharks... Sharks freak me out. :0
