Biographies

I don't know when this was started but here is mine.
I am 47 married almost 30 years July 21.
I have 2 son's and 6 geandchildern,5 Siamese cats.
I work in a nursing home, in housekeeping.
My hobbies are my cats & grandchildern, gardening, reading,making necklaces.
My hubby spent 9 years in the army,we have lived in Gremary,Texas,KY,LA
Well that is about it

Hey Sherral! It's interesting - a number of members seem to work in Nursing Homes. Several members have lived in Germany, too.

I loved Gremany,it was a beautful county.Ia;so like working in a nursing home,except when I get to close to a resdent,and they pass away.Thata happened a couple of times.

Shell, Laurie is right, no one is boring.

Laurie, I don't blame you for not wanting to change your lives so dramatically. You might get more prestige and money, but might lose in quality of life. Good luck in whatever you decide to do. Going on the road sounds like fun to me.

I just started more coursework toward my master's degree, at Penn State. I currently teach English as a Second Language, but PA doesn't have a teaching certification in ESL. The only state that doesn't Now, we have to take some course, and I suppose one day there will be a certification program in our colleges. My first 4 classes are all about ESL, linguistics, and how to teach English to non-English speakers.

I plan to enroll in the Master's program in Teaching and Curriculum, and continue after these 4 classes. I am transferring some credits from another school, so I hope to be halfway there by the end of the year.

My end goal is to get a PhD in Education, with a concentration in ESL. I hope by the time I am done that PA will have an ESL certification, then I can teach at a college. I am very happy, I always wanted to continue schooling, but wasn't sure what to concentrate on. This kind of fell in my lap, so I'm going to see what happens.

Or you can call me Pat.

I am 55 and married. I have 2 children, boy and girl, grown. 3 step-children, a set of identical twin boys, only 10 yrs younger then myself, and a stepdaughter. We have 8 grandchildren.

We are fairly new proud parents of Jumanji's Mystifyant of Gateway, a beautiful marbled Bengal who just retired from show at the age of 2 1/2 and we were allowed to adopt her for FREE providing we had her spayed. She is one of the most lovable cats I have ever known. She is our first house cat, my hubby of 16 yrs. said we would never have an indoor cat, now he just loves her. We call her Mysti. She has more of a dog attitude and loves to play fetch.

I will be adding pictures of her to our website soon. We no longer have the chihuahuas we show on the site, as they do not like traveling and we have semi-retired and FULL time R.V. now. My friend Shirley has the 2 chi's. Yep, sold our farm and bought a new R.V. and are foot loose and fancy free.

I would like to share my webpage with you, no advertiseing there, and if you go please tell us you are from the board here when you click on sign my guestbook on the bottom left side of the first column first page. You can see our photos there with both our older R.V. that we bought new 3 yrs. ago and our new one we got this year.

The website is: http://patshirrell.tripod.com/theshirrellspersonalsite/ I need to add a lot of new pics so check back in from time to time. The photos take a bit to load especailly on friends and family page.

I love people and love making new friends so jump right in and get to know me.

We are currently Workamping at a new R.V. Park in Missouri part time. I work the office and sometimes park customers with use of the golf cart. Hubby works out doors and parks most of the customers.

Thanks for listening.

Hi everyone,
My name is actually Candice. I have been a member her for awhile but never saw this thread. I do a lot of reading, and have learned so much from this site.

More about me...
I am 22 and finishing my last two months of my undergraduae psychology degree. I have interests in many areas so I'm not quite sure what I will be doing as a career. I will be doing some sport psychology consulting work this summer and fall for a figure skating club, so we'll see where that goes.

I have two cats that I love dearly. Max is a cream tabby, Sydney is a calico/tortie cross. They are both very unique and wonderful companions. I also have a golden retriever, Taz, 5 chinchillas (soon to be 6), Diego, Santos, Hazel, Anya and Zoya, two fish, Jack and Blue and a fiddler crab. So yes, I have quite the zoo.

My passions are the quest for knowledge and web design. In October, I opened a forum for pet owners. While not completely restricted to Canadians, it's primary function is to bring Canadian pet owners together. You all can check it out at http://www.pets-on-the-net.com/forums.

There are pictures floating around here of my cats, but I will hopefully get around to uplaoding some more for you all to see.

Hi! My name is Anna and I'm new here, but have been looking for a nice cat forum for a while =) I'm 23 years old, a 5th year college student (graduating in may) from the fun fun state of pennsylvania. I am a health and art class away from a BS in Marketing/Advertising. I mainly want to end up working in either research or product development but will be satisfied with any businessy type job.

I got engaged last summer to a great guy but we have no definate wedding plans as we are both trying to decide what we're gonna do or even live this time next year so we're trying to work that out first.

Three of my cats have died in the last 2 years leaving me with none, but then a little kitty showed up just a few weeks ago to keep me company. I call him roxy gogo but other people have taken to calling him "junior" because he is supposedly the son of an old stray/feral we adopted who we named Fifi (struck and killed by a car this christmas eve).

I enjoy collecting barbies and have a huge collection of the 80s care bears. I also like fantasy novels, business magazines, hiking, horseback riding, biking, dancing, and precious moments collecting. Oh yeah, I love BMWs but just bought a dodge (my second love)

I hope to meet all u intersting people soon

OMG Anna - you collect Barbies???? I do too!!! Well, I have had to get out of it for the past couple years because finances wouldn't allow it, but I still have many. What lines do you collect? Do you collect pink box or the Collector's and Limited Editions? I mainly collect the higher end ones, hence why I had to give it up when money got tight.

To all the new contributors, thanks for sharing!!

I hated Barbie when I was growing up. I never had dolls, only race cars! Ultimate tomboy. My sister on the other hand loves dolls and still collects the higher end ones. I am the exact opposite of her!

Hi my name is Cathi but all of my friends call me Blondiecat. I am 40 and a newelywed. My Hubby and I got married last October 2002. Wow time sure does fly.

We have 2 cats, A black Manx Sammycat and a striped American Shorthair named Oscar. We also have 2 dogs. Ceasar a Minature Pinscher and Nemo a Husky mix.

We love all of our babies since I am unable to have children anymore they have taken the place of where a child would be in our lives.

I do have a daughter who is 25 and I have 5 Grandchildren, Taylor, Staci, Brittany, Hope and BJ the only boy (yeah we finally have a boy in the family).
