Greetings from a Yank!
Hello all,
I happened upon this site several weeks ago at work. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the threads in all of the forums. I am not British or married to one so I hope I will be welcomed with open arms (or at least a handshake). A few of the people I have particularly enjoyed include Elvira, the sophisticated matron. Ray, the sarcastic teddy bear. Jerseygirl, the British version of the soccer mom. Lionheart, the Englishman's man. Britvic the stern, and of course how could anyone not like Rushman the direct. These are all terms of endearment so please do not take offence. I believe I am the first person to join from Louisiana. And, before I get bombarded, I am not a redneck and I do have a passport. I am married with 3 children (a 7year old girl, 4year old boy and a 4month old boy). I work for a Biomedical Research center where there are many Expats. I just like reading how people not born in the US relate to the trials of every day life in America. There is both good and bad and sometimes awful, but it is home. Thanks guys. |

I used to raise them as a kid. Just think they are facinating. I know kind of nerdy and all. And I have 3 children. Hence Seahorse3. Also really love the beach! |

They are girl 7, boy 4 and boy 4mos. I used to live on the Alabama gulf coast (Fairhope). Great beaches in Al. Extremely white sand and clear green water. Also, the beach towns are very family oriented not college oriented like Panama city or Daytona. |

<<<sigh>>> Now go and brush up on your grammar :rolleyes: (I won't go into spelling :eek: ) I am assuming your 'stated comedy preference' is your (weak) attempt at British sarcasm... :p :beer: |
Re: Greetings from a Yank!
See I told you it was a geezer not a tart. Oh ye of little faith......I wish I'd had a few quid on it now.
