Be careful, some of our posters are actually based out of Mental Hospitals and Prisons.

Seth will tell you that he is a pastor in Indiana. He is serving 5 to 10 in The Alabama State Prison for Mail Fraud.

BishopNL is not even pentecostal, he is an Episcopalian Bishop from Tempe, AZ

Sis will tell you that she is married to a college professor, she is 11 years old and in the New Mexico School for juvenile offenders

Newsman is not a news reporter, he is in fact a cab driver from New York City

EricShane works at J T Tires in Provo UT

Rainbowjingles sells Vacuum Cleaners in Omaha, NE

JD Cord is a Rancher in North Idaho, he has 1500 head of dairy cattle

Tea is not a postal worker, he is a Deputy U.S. Marshall based in Greenville, S.C.

Michael K is not in the Air Force, he is in reality a real estate agent in Providence, RI

MellowYellow Drinks Coke

Mel is addicted to Arizona Ice Tea and Snapple


Other than that, they are all fairly safe.

Oh.....

Watch out for Called and Chosen, she is not a teenager, she is really a 45 year old housewife in Seattle, Wa.

I was reading a creative writing book recently written by a professional author, he keeps himself sharp by creating scenarios about people he sees walking down the street or people he knows.

Take a person, any person that  you know and create a realistic sounding background for them.

Newkris is really a legal secretary in Minneapolis, but lets create this..

Newkris is a in reality Married to the Mayor of a small town in Western Texas.  They have 5 kids, aged 10 to 19 and she manages a local Insurance company. She is very active in her church,  teaching Sunday school, praise singing, has 2 home bible studies going and her 19 year old daughter and her hubby are expecting in 4 months.

wow, scott, great imagination!  and i thought i managed to stay under the radar.

the rumors about me are always so much more fun than real life.  :pwink:  didn't know i had gone to texas.  thought i was still in indiana . . .good to see i'm back in the church, though. 

i am, bev, however, truly the resident BAPKA and if you know what that is scott will NOT make up a story about you!

welcome!

any friend of ogia and mesi is very welcome around here!   :hi:

well if you would have stayed pregnant just a little longer we could have shared one, but NO you had to hurry up and go in labor.  :pwink:

so, bev, are you married, single, mother, grandmother, aunt . . .  or carry any other titles besides bev? 

not that bev is a bad title, but just wondering. 

i think i may be the only bapka on the board, but i'm not positive.

I'm here, you haven't scared me off, I've just had a busy weekend.  I'm a self-employed stay at home mom with two boys, Gregory 6, and Austin 2.  I'm married to Greg, who is a wonderful husband and dad, sometimes. LOL.  I'm 29, hanging onto it as long as I can, 30 is hitting hard.  Maybe this will help, any more questions?
Title: Re: I'm a little overwhelmed, but.....

Title: Re: I'm a little overwhelmed, but.....
Post by: newkris on May 13, 2008, 01:07:04 AM
oh honey!  embrace 30!  it's a fabulous age!  suddenly people start to take you seriously and look for your advice and trust you.  it's great.
40 something is even better.

honestly.

so you have two boys who are four years apart.  so do i!  it's so very fun to have sons . . . they are always so much LIFE. 

my boys, however, are about to be 20 and 24.  in fact, two of my angelbabies are right above and below your 2 year old.  mavrik is 3 and anna will be 2 in about a month. 

so, what kind of work do you do?  and what kind of work does your husband do?

ooohhh . .  you sew you say?  do you have a website?  i have those angelbabies that i have to keep clothed.  well, clothes and books, that's my "responsibility" - self-inflicted, of course.  they dress the boys pretty standard - sports and jeans.  but anna gets a little more special treatment.  she's kind of a tomboy, well not kind of, she IS a tomboy, so although i might like something froo-froo for her, i don't know if she would.

anyway, if you have a website, could you send me a pm with the link?  that would be FABULOUS!!

so, what got you into sewing?

Post by: Bev on May 16, 2008, 03:58:29 PM
I learned to sew when I was four, newkris.  My grandmother ran a drapery shop and when my brother was born, she would take me with her to give my mom some time.  She put me on the machine with pieces of fabric and said make babydoll clothes.  So I did.  I've been sewing ever since.  I make my own clothes most of the time.  When I was single, I thought I wanted to start my own line of plus-sized clothing, then when I had kids I changed my mind.  I love to design kids clothes, there is so much you can do.  So that is my story.  I've sewn for a long time, thanks to my mom and grandmother, who both made sure I knew how to when I was small.

Mesi has a few pieces of my product, and she seems to love them.

Ummmm one MAIN thing you have to know about GP, the thread topic really is just a way to remember what the conversation started as, after the 3rd or 4th post, it is usually irrelevant, and therefore not necessary to continue talking about. We move on to other topics within that topic. Normally it migrates to the discussion of food, or the thread becomes another hugging thread.

This is also the main way we can annoy Brannon indirectly. :up2:   
Title: Re: I'm a little overwhelmed, but.....
Post by: newkris on May 18, 2008, 06:27:31 AM
and we have a name for people who get off topic.  they are called pinkwinkers  :pwink:  and that is their smilie of choice.

so, now that your first thread has been :pwink: pinkwinked, you can feel free to :pwink: whenever and wherever you would like.

although it seems that i have gained the reputation somehow of being the queen of pinkwinking, i do generally try to gear a wayward post back to the thread's intention.

so, bev, don't be overwhelmed, but.... enjoy the journey!
