LOL... Yeah, I'll post NOW! Awesome pics Sooner.

Forgot I could grab pics from my facebook.

My name is Jennifer (Jenn) and I am 31 years old, live outside of Austin, Texas. I am a stay at home mommy so I can take care of my little girl, Caitlynn (1.5 yrs old). That's where I got my name CayCay. I have two older boys Zachary (11 yrs) and Aidan (8 yrs). I am NOT into sports. I love to read and write. I always said I was an author in a past life. I'm addicted to piercings and shoes. My favorite color is aqua. =)

My name is Randy. I’m 43 years old. I live in Northern California. I grew up listening to classic rock and hard rock. I've mellowed a bit in my old age, but still love to turn up the volume on a good rock song when some dork next to me is thumpin' his gangsta rap. Gotta show those young whippersnappers what real music is all about (LOL). I love camping & fishing. The Sacramento River is in my backyard and I visit her often. ​

I’ve been married to this great gal since 1996.​

We have two girls, 14, & 10. They sure grow up fast.​

We have a great dog named Buddy. He’s ½ Australian Shepherd and ½ Brittany Spaniel​

I love camping and fishing. Here I am with a soupfin shark and a king salmon caught near San Francisco​

Here’s my oldest daughter who caught her first leopard shark last month. Boy was I proud . . .​

I bet you didn’t know you could buy a double carton (400 cigarettes). I can’t believe I’m posting this pic on a non-tobacco forum LOL. I got this giant pack on a cruise ship 3 years ago. It even opened like a regular pack of smokes with cellophane, foil, and a flip top lid. Once the giant pack was opened, there were two cartons inside. I’m sure glad I finally kicked this habit.​

I’ve been following the Raiders since the early 80’s. They have been terrible for the last decade, but they’ll be respectable again someday soon (I hope).​

Anyway, that's enough about me. Thanks for having me here and thanks to Ms. T for all her tireless work (& Brandon too).

vape On . . .​

My name is Keith, I am 44 years old with the mind of a kid. I am the one on the right
I am originally from Ohio and my family is still there, I have lived in Kentucky for 2 years , Southern Texas for 2.5 years, and now Maryland since 2000. Part gypsy it appears. As a child I loved playing sports, dirt bikes, and anything a boy can get into.

My Beautiful wife and I were married 10-27-11 (man are those weddings expensive) which was the first marriage for both of us. My wife has a grown daughter and I do not have any children (at least there hasnt been any to show up at the door saying "hi daddy" yet). Combined we have two dogs currently, Chance a Boxer from myself and Nina a Sheltie from the wife. Love em both!

I enjoy working on the house, in the yard, on the Trans Am, and a good Harley ride when time allows. My new hobby as of late is e cig mods, and unfortunately I get tunnel vision and get too wrapped up in items at times.

The wife and I are contemplating a move to Arizona later in life where we have some property, basically to get away from the rat race here on the east coast and slow down to enjoy life.




Enjoyed the thread everyone, great idea Sooner !

My name is Michelle and I am a RN. I will be 50 years old this August (Guess it beats the alternative). I have a beautiful 23 year old daughter, Kayla. I was born and raised here in good ole' Hattiesburg/Petal, Mississippi.

That's me on the right and my boyfriend, Buster,on the left. And yes, he is a big time LSU fan



Here is a pic of my daughter, Kayla.

 

[CayCay]

and for the record sooner... im wearing a UT hat in my pic! =P

 

[echos67]

Hey Knot, I remember thinking how great it was paying such a low price for cartons of smokes when the wife and I took a cruise , I didn't see any double carton sales like you posted though.
That leopard shark is gorgeous, Sooner needs that in an aquarium !

 

[Carlyawesome]

My name is Carly, HI!!! I'm 29 years old and I've lived in Indiana my whole life, but I've been steadily moving south across the state so who knows where I'll end up.


This is me....




Aaaaaand This is my hubs



We got married on St. Patricks Day last year, partly because we like each other a little bit and partly because we wanted a reason to go to the bar and eat mexican food. Sounds weird, but this is a picture of us a few hours before he first told me he loved me.



We are grownups......


Anyway, as of yet we don't have any kids, just a dog, Agnes, or Aggie, or buttface depending on her attitude, and a cat, Skwisgaar, or Kitty, or buttface also depending on his attitude. Just so you know, Brian got to name the cat, Brian doesn't get to name things anymore...

I've been managing a shoe store for a little over four years, but my real love in life is the fiber arts. I knit, crochet occasionally and I spin yarn. I get teased a lot about that last one, but the smell of raw wool always puts a smile on my face! There is a small spinner's circle here that gets together a couple of times a month and all of the other members are old enough to be my mom, but I like it and life is boring if you don't do what you like to do.

I have a few basic rules I live by

1: Eat whatever the hell sounds good, your body has a weird way of telling you what it needs. (I had dill pickles a banana and rice pudding for lunch today and it was AWESOME!)

2: The perfect combination of songs can help you get through whatever badness you are feeling. If just listening to them doesn't work, listen to them while driving. This is my own personal chicken soup.

3: Life is too short to put up with people that don't make you happy. If you were meant to have someone in your life, no matter what role they play, it will not be hard to have them around.

4: Don't care if people think you are an idiot. If you can't stop laughing, go ahead and roll around on the ground. If you need to cry, sob loudly. If you want to give your husband or wife a kiss in a crowded room DO IT, and pop your toe! In the end, who cares what anyone else thinks, you will have a memory to look back on that is still as vivid as the day it happened.

5: And finally USE REAL BUTTER. In everything..........

I'm not sure how that last picture got on there and I can't figure out how to get it off, but that's me back when I was in college!

This may require a special Carne Asada flavored juice Carley

It was the 100 oz margarita tower that really set things in motion so margarita may be a better choice lol!

Don't tempt me. I don't need much encouragement to do crazy things

 

[Carlyawesome]

there are fishing forums?

I spend more time on fishing forums than I do here. Matter of fact, I used to help run a few.

Name virtually any hobby and you can find a dedicated forum for it
