What do you "do?"

[Bella]

Warhorse, it's an old nursery rhyme. Kinda morbid, tho', huh?

[Bella]

Ozzy is pretty freaky deaky!

[californiagrown]

Whats realy morbid is ' Rock a-bye baby' honestly its like a baby falling out of a tree sickening
and ring around a rosy thats about the black plague and buring dead people and alive people

[sintha]

yeah, i heard that "Ring around the rosy" is about the black plague...kinda sad and creepy that they make a nursery rhyme!!!

[Ruffian of Old]

I wonder what the "this old man came rolling home" rhyme is about?

[californiagrown]

never herd that one

[Ruffian of Old]

You know, "knick knack paddy wack, give a dog a bone lalala"?

[jay]

i want to ask you girls.....are there universities in US that provide mechanical engineering or something similar?

[Ruffian]

Jay, I just looked to see if the university in my state offers that and it does. I'm willing to bet that if University of Arizona offers it, others do as well. Just do a search when you pick a school you like!

[californiagrown]

HAHA we have some of the best schools for that, like Cal TECK which is one of the most amazing schools ever, and MIT, there are some top tear schools out here that have it

[warhorse]

MIT is like the ultimate school for the technologically gifted as Harvard is to Attorneys and Doctors!

:)Howdy, ya'll. I'm new in here and I couldn't quite figure out where to post for the first time and wondering if I would be the "lone person" around my age group in here. Nice to see that I am not. Doesn't make me feel as much of a "dirty ol' lady" as I once did! LOL! ;D

I've done the college thing, majored in Art History ( minored in Anthropology/Archaeology ), got engaged, that fell through. Ending up working in the financial department at a medical records firm that I thought *cough* I'd work at for the REST of my life! HA! Ah, the mid 90's and those wonderful "corporate downsizing exercises". I was a victim to one of those after giving 8 years of my life to those people.

In my mid 30's then, wondering what to do with my life. Went back to college, majored in business and computers. Ended up in accounting at a labeling firm ( they did labels for wine and microbrew companies...got LOTS of knowledge on good wine and beers from around the world and the holiday benefits from that job were VERY COOL to say the least )

Ended up meeting the man who would be my hubby. Had a child ( though was told by many doctors I'd NEVER have any children due to a female problem that almost near killed me ). I have stayed home with my daughter, who is now 8, being her mom, doing my art/photography work on the side, selling some of it. I write fanfics, mostly of the person I am ( was? ) a HUGE fan of, Karl Urban, from the Lord of the Rings movies. Karl, Johnny Depp and Apolo are my 3 men whom I find appealing to my senses the most ( other than my hubby, of course ).

That's about it. Not sure what is going to go on with the rest of my life now that my daughter is getting older. I may go back to school, get a degree ( or not ), I know I will always sing, do my art/photography and be me, which I guess, is NOT such a bad thing.

There, that's pretty much it. I hope I've not bored any of ya at all. Nice to be here. I'll be around. Maybe I'll post something if the notion hits me sometime.

[jay]

thanks for your informations about US universities...

Loved the detailed write up about your life, Amy. I love getting to know details about the other members here. So glad you joined us. I am also an "older" fan. I will be 40 in October.
