Bienvenue à bord!
It's great to see so many newbies around.
Hope you'll have a lot of fun. There are so many things to be learnt here, far more than one could imagine at first.
I wish you all the best, both here and in RL.

hi,Cherie>>>>glad you're back
how are you? feeling better?missed u around,Julie
Hello...
I am not usually very good at introducing myself (I'm shy!) but I joined the forum a year ago, posted once, and then got so busy I wasn't able to return. I'm not the post-and-leave kind of girl so I thought I would drop back in and redeem myself a little.
A little about me, hmmm. Well, I am a married mom of three kiddos. I have a background as a health care provider but I have been working at home full time for two years writing. I have written one novel and plotted a second but took some time off from that to co-write a screenplay with my husband. Movies are not my "field" but I really had a lot of fun doing it and we have just gotten an agent and have begun the submission process, so it's very exciting. We are planning two more screenplays within a year.
In addition to writing I have been teaching myself web design and I own a very successful internet riddling gaming site with more than 300 levels. I also started the first web based real time team scavenger hunt, which requires members from all over the world solve a riddle to discover their target then physically go take a digital picture of that target with a team sign. It will have been open for a year this coming December and it's a lot of fun. Each game has it's own busy forum and thanks to great moderators I don't have to be there constantly anymore.
I don't have a lot of time to post, but I like to read what others have to say, so you might see me lurking around from time to time. I usually pipe up here and there. I think that just about sums me up. Nice to meet all of you.
Welcome back Coyote. You sound interesting. And there is no need to be shy. Post to your heart's content.

Hey Taleen!hi,Cherie>>>>glad you're back
how are you? feeling better?missed u around,Julie
How are you sweetheart?
It seems so unreal to be back here and I feel so happy, I am afraid I may wake up and find this a dream.
I am back home, which is great, and as my moral improves, I believe my health will recover along with it.
The Doctors allowed me to spend some time every day (if I feel ok) without the ventilator, so that I can interact with you.

Virgil, I agree with you about job verses hobby. If you do something 'day in and day out', you start to see it as work and work can be all monotomy. Better to reserve the things you like best outside the workplace. Not many people love their jobs, unforunately. I was one of them, being stuck in a position not entirely what I had gone to college for. I hated reading at a young age, but that was because they made us read certain novels in high school. I like to pick my own! Now I love reading and pursuing certain authors. BTW, Virgil, I can't seem to find the Shakespeare thread where the active discussion of Hamlet is taking place. Can you clue me in? I will go there later on. Also, I will try to write something to introduce myself on this thread. Who ever started it - great idea!
I don't know you personally, but the rest of your post seems friendly enough. However, (above) seems a bit over the wall. It is true that the abuse of the results of engineering have much to be desired, but the education of any discipline is a tribute to the creative elements it professes. I would not be far afield saying that the wonders of today's discoveries of the unknowns which remained a source of superstitions in our past, are a product of the creativity which comes from intelligent application of engineering principles taught by engineering education. I will concede that the abuse of this or any knowledge about power and energy, is an atricious moral transgression against the respect our delicate environment deserves. After all, who are we that can make no more that an hundred years or so of life on a planet that has an approximate age of 4 billion years more or less.
I'm a grumpy old man with too much to give and an axe to grind. If the world is going to hell, I don't want any credit for helping it to do so. Not because I'm not guilty of contributing, but because it's not my heart's desire to see it go that way. For over 60 years I have seen more to praise than to curse, but the cursing is quickly gaining, depending on experience, of course. May the goodness of what life has to offer you lay in your path, while what you owe for it has already gone another way.
Hey, a replacement for Starr!
Welcome, hillhopper -- we're glad to have you. There's always room for controlled grumpiness 'round here.

Hi all,
This is my first post. I am 74 and wheelchair bound. I like to think
that while my body deteriorates my mind expands. You all sound
like folks who can keep my mind busy. I have 5 grandchildren and 2 greats
(a third is on the way.)I still fix Holiday meals and enjoy family get togethers.
My family includes 3 teachers, one Principal and many many seekers of knowledge.
If your saying that the world has been greatly improved by the application of engineering, well I definitely agree with you. Perhaps my statement was a little over the top. There is no reason why engineering education cannot be creative. However, I must say that it was not my experience. Let me also say that I found a disconnect between what is taught in engneering schools and real life engineering jobs. But that was 22 years ago. I believe they have improved somewhat since, at least around me.

Welcome hillhopper. I hope you like it here. It seems the older I get, the grumpier I am becoming. However, I believe the world is getting better not worst. People's lives are improving, as far as I can tell.I'm a grumpy old man with too much to give and an axe to grind. If the world is going to hell, I don't want any credit for helping it to do so. Not because I'm not guilty of contributing, but because it's not my heart's desire to see it go that way.
