Good Morning, Tink. I am no stranger to West Virginia, I grew up in Pittsburgh and would occassionally get down that way... and yep, it was quite the hilly place. lol I've been living out west here for the past 25 years or so, but I sometimes miss the east where they grow real trees and grass. lol Just thought i would take a min and introduce myself... im tink if anyone wants to know.. I am currently in wv and love it here.. beautiful moutains to look at daily... also have 2 kids, dh and a great dane... will enjoy getting to know you all...

I wouldn't call this stuff that grows natural "Crab-grass", it's insulting to the Crab-grass species of grass. lol People will plant lawns out here, and they will plant real grass and trees.. but they also have to pay the costs to water the stuff.. otherwise they end up with a yard full of mallow weeds twice a year or so. lol
Which reminds me, I'll have to cut my mallow weeds after they dry out a little bit. lol It's been raining here recently.. and it was actually a respectable rain.... for Arizona. lol
Yep, to be called a "Hillbilly" in WV isn't often taken as an insult... it wasn't, at least, when I lived back that way. A friend of mine had family who lived down around Wheeling and we'd go down about once a year.

No, we don't... but the natives here think they do. lol It has been a long standing joke that what we would pull out of our lawns as weeds back east... they water out here for grass and plants. lol There was a time when almost everyone out here fancied themselves a cowboy, which is basically a redneck with a Stetson. lol Now all the kids want to be gangstas or computer geeks. Times change.

Hey Tink! I think your board is great! I'm in CT and I don't think we are so very different in climate or vegatation as other parts of the country. Did anything I tried to help you with work out? I think it's great that your DH is taking an interest in what you do on your board, does he share it with you? 2 kids AND a great Dane? ... Sweet baby Jesus. WOW, don't tell me you work outside the house too?

yeah Dh was what made me think of making a forum.. As he started his own for a clan he is a part of for a game called americas army. So i was helping him get his setup and then i started mine. he helped me with the codes for the background and made the pics and the logo for the forum.
Yep as far as i can tell its all working out good... thanks for all the info.. i joined ur fat & fabulous last nite, but was to tired to make an intro. Will do that today..
lol yup 2 boys (5 & 7), so they both pretty much just started school.. And no im a stay at home housewife and mother. Have been since my oldest was born. So the forums keep me occupied while the kids are at school..lol other than the house cleaning and what not.. ALtho I am planning on going to college this fall to get a degree be a legal assistant. but other than that.. i sit at home all day.. lmao

I'm sort of retired...kinmd of hard to retire when your job was being an artist, but there you go. My 2 boards keep me semi-sane (well that and alll the reading and PMing and e-mailing I do)...exept when one of them is having issues like B&C is having. If I don't have a dog can I join your board anyway?
