So, hi

[theoriginalbean]

I've been around the boards-that-shall-not-be-named in various ways since 2002 (jerseygirl81). I went to GBCN during the original TN implosion, then went back to TB when I got pregnant with DD. We had moved our BMB (may 13) elsewhere before TB imploded, but that FB spinoff also imploded, and the spinoff spinoff is dying a slow death. Now that I put that all out there, maybe I'm cursed? I did post briefly on TCF at the very beginning, but not enough to be a regular.
I left my IRL tribe (most of who I actually met on TK/N/B) when we moved from Cincy to Seattle 2 years ago, and since I work from home, most of my friends live online.


MH is an engineer, I'm a health data analyst/application developer. I study why different groups (sex/race/ethnicity/income/geography) have different health outcomes. I run, read, hike, and drink beer
and too much coffee.


Charlie is 8 and Emeline just turned 4 this weekend.

Hi. I also read, hike, and drink beer. Currently not running though.

[brux]

I like beer and Seattle. Welcome!

[goldenbird]

Hello and welcome! Your job sounds very interesting. And I like beer also.

[heybulldog]

Welcome! Your job sounds super interesting. And, hooray beer!

[emilyinparis]

Hello and welcome! I also like reading, hiking, running, and beer. You said your old SN was jerseygirl? Did you live in Jersey? I used to live there too. Which part are you from, without getting too specific?

Hello and welcome!

I moved away in high school when my dad got a new job, but refused to "Own" that I lived in Ohio. I've come to terms with it, now.


Edit typo: fingers on numbers don't work.

Hi friend.

[wakemom]

Hi& welcome! I'm headed to Seattle later this summer on a getaway with the husband! I'm so excited, it's a city I've never been to, so lots to explore.

[allthewaymae]

It makes me chuckle every damn time I see it. One of the girls I work with is going to make me a mug with that quote on it.

[theoriginalbean]

littlechevy  I hate this picture because the face I'm making really accentuates all of my 30-something lines, but I love it because this is so much my sister and I
(her wedding, last month. you can take the girl out of Jersey....)

Welcome!

Hah.. My BMB on TB also spun off to FB, which had a spin-off spin-off that was followed by a third spin-off. I am still friends with 3 of those lovely ladies, but the rest of them I was never as close with. I do believe the first 2 FB spin-offs are still active.

I'm dizzy just thinking about all the spinning.

Yea I hear you. I've lived in both north and central Jersey. Now I live in SC and it's so much different. I do really like it here, but I definitely miss good pizza.

[honeylemon]

Seattle is a pizza desert, too. I eat pizza every day when I'm in the NYC area.
