we haven't done this thread in awhile, so here goes.

tell us a little something about you - something we might not otherwise know from other threads/posts..

i like to collect rocks. and put them in my garden. and my friends and family sometimes think i am a pest when it comes to planning things.

I love it when we do this, thanks k!

I like to cook, especially new things. Lately I've been on a diet so I'm trying healthy recipes from Weight Watchers, I'm a fanatic about what I eat. Now keep in mind that I'm a guy who used to swill down jugs of cheap red wine and Schlitz while he made pizza. It was all about quantity, not quality then

I also like taking care of a home for my fiance and children. I'm having a blast fixing things up in the place we just moved into together.

Oh, and I like motorcycling, and I'm buying hiking gear in anticipation of warmer weather, and reading, and......... OK I'll shut up now!

I am working 3 days a week for a goat farm. We currently are in kidding season and I helped deliver some babies yesterday and milked my first goat too. Tomorrow I learn to make cheese and yogurt.

I love putting nutmeg in my coffee, it gives it a nice flavor without adding a bunch of calories.

I have an Alaskan Husky who I love very much but there is white fur all.over.my.house from her blowing her coat. Someone explain to her that it is still winter here, please.

Hello all! A little something about me...I am 2 weeks into my recovery from alcohol, most important thing to me! I am a horsewoman when I have the time and enjoy the "farmy" kind of living..Horselover, haven't foaled a goat but have with horses, a truly unbelieveable experience!
I have lived in Arizona for 7 years now (Hi Astro-found a good meeting). I love all animals great and small and I volunteer with a group that works with horses and "challenged" individuals to provide therapy with motor skills, very rewarding, I feel that I get more than my riders! For now that is about it as I am looking forward to finding this thread again in a few months to post more interests as my life has become clearer and more focused! I do want to thank all for the support that you give so unselfishly!

I am an avid road cyclist - have been for 25 years. I try to ride 16 miles every day at lunch, more on the weekends. I am a Boy Scout leader and have put together many neat bike rides with the scouts, including participating in the famous 5 boro bike tour in NYC and several 50 mile Boy Scout Camping Trips/Cycling Merit Badge events.

I'm a clean freak and extremely organized that's why I live alone because other people mess up stuff

I have a 5 yr old Pekingnese, Peaches, that was rescued from a puppy mill, I got her 1 month into my sobriety (18 mths ago) so we've "grown up" together.

I dream of living in a cottage in the mountain's, I picture wildflowers, birds and sunny days. This will all take place somewhere that is always green. Oh... and I want to raise bees. oh... I left out the stream or river out back...

In otherwords they say I'm a dreamer...
