I'm reasonably new but been posting for a bit and intro'd myself. But I'll do it again. I live in London, used to work at a school, now a private psychotherapist, going to Oxford for further education in the autumn and volunteering at a university counselling centre in London. I'm sporty (have played cricket and field hockey in London, now playing softball), love to cook and have a gorgeous rescue labradoodle, Barney, in the pic below. I tend to post on the IL board. And I too love beers - I belong to CAMRA in the UK: www.camra.org.uk/.
I don't know if I am "new", I have been posting on IN for 4-5 years but its been slow there for awhile. I post here occasionally but not at peak times, damn time difference!
I did a bit of an into in SO as I thought that is maybe where I should go.
I was/am married, was separated for a year and reconciled. I am torn on where to go as I fit into so many categories here.
I am married but Trouble in Paradise, and started over. I like everyone that I have interacted with between SO and ML, so I am lurking/posting betweeen the 2.
I have a maine coon cat named Prince, 2 kids, ( 1 married, and one still at home)
I am a SAHW as I have a fucked up body and can't work anymore. Take care of ailing mom in Long Term care.
Love reading the drama on here then my life doesn't look as bad as I sometimes think it is.
So I guess this is my official intro in the ML category.
and can't post pics as I don't do it right and end up with name on them all. and have a bunch of ole Chris Noth I want to post.. lol
i kind of love that we're still siphoning new people off TN!! LMAO!!! welcome!
I know - how are we doing that? I remember when we first made the move and we had some of us posting there saying .... I don't know the answer to your question, but come over here! I assume that's not going on right now, so how do people knooooow?
I'm still new but I've been here since the last time the lurkers were called out of hiding. I don't think I've officially introduced myself.
I'm 30. I've been married for 5 years. No kids. 1 dog named Daisy. She's 6. I'm a nurse. I work in insurance. I work part time. My H is an engineer. He is also 30.
I love to travel. Last year we went to SF/wine country, and this year we went to Chicago twice. I love to read. Currently reading "Ready Player One".
I've been around on GBCN since the beginning. I usually only come over to ML when someone from another board posts a link. Once here I start looking around, forget were I am and start replying to things without realizing that I am not a regular on this board.

I mostly lurk, sometimes post. I'm bad about introductions. I read so many boards and just randomly post on them when I feel like it that I forget where people are probably like 'who the hell is this girl'?
I've been lurking since 2004 on the other site when I got married. I posted very occasionally over there and recently started lurking over here. My slow time at work is coming up so maybe that's why? I've been married almost 9 years and we have 3 kids - my oldest will be 5 next week, my middle one is 2 1/2 and the baby is almost 17 months old. You guys are interesting and you make my day go by. Also I find lots of useful information here (I bought the suit, I use some recipes and I've learned of man a sale on here.)
I usually post on GP and on my local board, but am branching out more to post here too. I'm a teacher so I'm finding myself with lots of extra time this summer, usually posting from my beach chair on the Jersey shore. H and I have been married almost 4 years, and are currently TTC our first. One interesting tidbit: I'm about halfway to my goal of visiting all the MLB ballparks.
I'm also new. I recently intro-ed on SO. I'm a 32 yr old single mom. I'm in the medical field live in MA. no pets currently, but will likely be adopting 2 kittens after my DD and i move into our house in August. I really enjoy the boards during my boring days at work... You ladies have also inspired me to buy The Suit which I will be rocking for the very first time this afternoon at a 4th of July party

I started on the knot in 2004, moved to the other site after getting married in 2005, frequented the bump when I was pregnant and had my son, then made the switch here because that place is no fun. (I can't believe I've been around for 9 years, that is really creepy)
I don't have access while at work, so I mostly lurk in the evenings.
So, I've been married for almost 8 yrs. My son will be 5 in October and starts kindergarten this year. ::sobs:: No pets yet. We are in the early stages of building a new home. I work full time for the one place that you all hate to go. (think long lines and multiple visits just to get something done) Ahhhhh I'm one of those women except I'm not nasty and actually like my job.
ETA 9 years since I apparently can't do simple math this morning.
I'm new in that I don't post very much but I'm a chronic lurker. I could probably make a spreadsheet. I'm 33 and divorced since 2009. I have a dog and no kids. I work at a cosmetics company.
I've been here since the move, reading on and off, and posting infrequently. I'm a teacher so I can't really post at work. Now that it's the summer, I have some free time, but nothing terribly interesting to post.
I've posted here a few times. Been a MM poster since 2006 but as an introvert, I read 10,000,000x more than I actually post. You guys convinced me to buy The Suit in black w/white polka dots & black w/cherries.
is this 7 pages of people stating that they're lurkers?
don't make me read
Yes. You don't need to read it. A lot of lurkers, a lot of people still fleeing from the other place into GBCN's arms, & then just a bunch of us whose regular boards were slow, so we were hanging out on ML for the night.
