I thought this thread might be fun. Tell about yourself..whatever you feel comfortable posting on the web.
I am 29..11 years in a row now...no need for a calculator..lol. I am an Air Traffic Controller, my husband is as well but we are at different airports about 70 miles apart. I've been doing this job for 11 years now..only 9 1/2 until retirement! I've been married for 14 1/2 years and we met in college..hubbies name is Doug. We have no children of the human kind. We tried but I couldn't carry, I think that's one reason we are so close to our animals..they are my life. We love to be outdoors...camping, boating, fishing, bow hunting, snow skiing. I also like to tie flies, bowl, read, play piano (which I am not good at). We have a weekend house that we go to on our days off...we are lucky we have basically the same schedule..it is near a lake..in the summer thats where we are as much as possible. I am from Pittsburgh, PA..we moved to MI about 12 years ago. All my family is in PA and NC...so just me and the hubby up here. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. If you go to my profile there is a pic of me and Doug..It's nice to put a face with the name. Anyhow I'd love to hear about you...and see a pic too if you've got one! -------------------- ****Sonya****

Hi Dottie, Jan and Sonya,
Dottie, I have been laughing all day, even while stacking hay in the shed, which usually takes all my energy to just keep breathing. When you said you stick stickers all over Styx and Buddy at Christmas time, I just cracked up. Plus, I know how funny it is when you have a dog with an expressionless face, the beagle we had years ago was like that, never knew whether he was happy or sad as he always looked the same, even when we made a big fuss of him. We used to say "the lights are on but there's nobody home" Those youtube clips are amazing, I can just imagine little Alex enjoying them Dottie. What a cute little boy he was. Isn't Patches a treasure, such lucky guys to have him. I thought it really funny when the girl in the drive-through didn't seem unduly concerned or surprised about there being a horse in the car. Did you other girls see them yet? I miss not having horses around Sonya, I have had a lot in my time, but never had a miniature. Hmm, I should get one now, but I would be way too scared to mention that to my husband, who goes into panic mode when I merely cut through the pet shop on my way to the shopping mall. I have owned a few "special" horses in my time, an Arab called Madi Ashanti, who I always use as my username and Polly a Welsh Mountain pony and Tammy a standard Bred, who was my very first horse. Then there was Brandi, Sooty, Kismet, Smokey, my husband's first horse and Kalib a Shetland pony, who died only a few months ago at the age of 27. I haven't even started on all my daughters horses, but they still own one each. I am thinking of all you girls at this time, I feel sorry about you not being able to have a tree Sonya, but I do understand, if not for the grandkids, I possibly wouldn't either. Take care. madi xx |
