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****

Hubby and I went for a long walk in our local forest/country park today.We've walked our dogs there for the last 25 years. Oh what a time. I must have hugged about 10 dogs. Luckily a lot of their 'humans' know us, as we used to be a familiar sight with our Samoyeds. They were all wondering where Noushka was, so you can imagine I spent most of the time sobbing.. again, and telling them what happened. I did feel though that our angel dogs were running along at our side, free from all the ailments of old age, and darling Tasha free from the Diabetes that robbed her of her sight. We saw about six deer, running through . I thought of you of course. We do have a beautiful white stag that we see here now and again. He sure is a beauty. I hope you manage to find your next car soon, what a pain having just paid for your last one. Madi, I can just picture you avoiding all the Kanagroos. At least you both can drive ! I have my trusty bike, ha. Wouldn't stand much chance against a deer or a Roo on that. Dotty, I hope you and Buddy and Styx Kitty are ok. Every time I look at the Angel on the top of my Tree , I think of you, but with the corset of course. Anna, hope you are ok, haven't seen you on here today. Thinking of you all. Love Jan x |

Oh Jan! when you said you don't have a licence, it reminded me of my mum who didn't have one either." I'm way too nervous to drive a car" she would say, so what did she do? she got a motor bike instead. Wouldn't drive a car, but would ride a motor bike, gees, go figure. She rode so slowly though it was amazing how she remained upright. She made bags for the sides of the bike and she used to have all her shopping in them and if anyone waved at her, as everyone did, she could only raise her finger in recognition because she couldn't take her hands off of the handle bars to wave back. Poor mum had a few mishaps, even at her slow speed, she had no balance whatsoever and often made too wide a turn and ended up on her side up banks and what not. One time, when she arrived home she fell off her bike in the driveway and the bike was on top of her and she said, " I can smell burning". Well the burning was her leg which was pressed up against the hot exhaust and it was so badly burnt that she had to have it dressed daily for weeks at the local hospital. Mum was a real animal lover too, dad still has her dog and cat with him. I could write a book on my mum, once while shoping for a suit for my dad in a major department store, she went up to what she thought was a dummy and started fondling this guys suit and feeling the material between her fingers. When he jumped in a startled manner, she said "oh I do beg your pardon, I thought you were a dummy". Unfortunately I have to go and my book will have to wait, I have to go shopping. Catch you all later.
