Hi, No longer muzzled -- OT

Hi V2 and welcome to the group. Please do chat with us. We are a talkative bunch.

Vicki! So glad to see you made it! Everyone, Vicki is the winner of the Orphan Beads Silent Auctions! She is SO nice, too:) Welcome to posting instead of only reading;)

Hiya Vicki! Camp Fire was the cause of some of my first pangs of Bead Lust....as a Girl Scout who went to CampFireGirl Camp, I didn't get the beads that were handed out at the end....and merit badges suck by comparison!!!

welcome to the group! Sarajane

You can talk even when you don't have something to add - that's what all the rest of us do. ;-)

Hi VickiV, Welcome. I was a Camp Fire Girl too,........40 years ago.

Tina

Sarajane! I've missed you.

Tina

Welcome, Vicki! :)

Welcome!!

Thanks Candace. Still am blushing Flattery will just get you more blushing.

I find that someone (often either you or Sooz) says what I thought I'd say anyway. But I'm not very bashful about expressing a strongly held opinion. Right now I guess I feel that I'm in the getting to know what to say stage. Have been around computers since heck was a pup, but have never used one to just chat - play and work yes. This feels like I may find it to be a lot of fun.

Thanks

This group is very addicting. They took me from puppy hood making jewelry and turned me into a fire breathing monster. Actually fire was in my blood before jewelry as I'm a firefighter.

That must make us within 5 yrs of each other cuz that's about when I was a Camp Fire Girl. Although we have a young pup (4-1/2 mo) and his energy makes me feel old as the hills.

Neat profession.

Short story: My boss and I were talking about jobs and I told him I'd like to be a firefighter. He laughed. Can't not pick up that glove, right? So I called the fire department then and there. They told me I'd have to be 5'7" tall and 140 lbs. I would have to grow 6" and weigh 50 pounds more. This time my boss and I laughed together, cuz it wasn't a female discrimination thing, just a short "discrimination" thing -- based of course on the fact that short people would probably not be capable of rescuing tall folks without dragging them. Had fun with that image.

Vicki (who wishes she still was slender)

Yay, Vicki! I'm so glad Outlook has freed you from bondage! :D

I can vouch for the nice part! She offered me a ride and moral support when I had to have my MRI! I ended up not needing the ride, but I did take her up on the moral support. :)

Yep, especially me. I'm yappy.
