Good evening Married Life ladies. I have lurked for quite awhile and have attempted to "intro myself" a couple of times. Short explanation- Thursday night is my usual girls night out/in as my husband works late. Apparently, I was completely wasted last Thursday when I decided to post. This was brought to my attention by my dear friend tonight (we aren't drinking this evening, we are making cookies for a bake sale). Anyway, I'm sorry I acted like an ass (I'm really not crazy, or a drunk- I'm just a lightweight. I really enjoy this board and would like to be an active poster. I'm very shy and a tad (see a lot) insecure...but can we start over or is my rep here screwed?
I remember two things about you - you make intro posts when drunk and you use ellipses...a lot.
Neither of those things are worthy of a negative reputation however. So just jump in and start posting. (maybe reconsider using ellipses so frequently)
Ok- no more intros :-) I'm so glad I over estimated my presence here...starting fresh! My (early Fall?) resolution is to have the balls to post more when I'm in my right mind.

Dude post stuff now............don't fake it with us
Maybe tell us something interesting about you now that you're sober and distract us.
I'm pretty damn boring. Early 30's, married, no children (although we are fruitlessly trying). I work in brokerage/finance which used to be fun but is now an every day hell. I have a huge squishy spot for animals which is why I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own as well as another foster dog, three more kittens and a squirrel. (Yep a squirrel)

PIPs of all your animals. Please and thank you. Also where do you live?

Sequins (or anyone that knows the answer)- dumb Newb question- how do you PIP from an IPad connected to wireless? We live in the country with satellite internet that never works. That leads to your second question- I live in bumm fuck East TN but I work in the "big city of Chatt TN.
Yeah, I'm going to need pics. And the squirrel story. You can't be boring if you have a squirrel.
Long squirrel story short....several years ago before DH and I got married we lived in a townhouse on the outskirts of a city that was rapidly developing. One weekday evening we came home from work to find all the trees in our backyard cut down. The feral cats that hung around ( because I fed them) were feasting on a fallen squirrel nest. Mama squirrel was gone and we only found one baby alive. I thought we might could save him and hopefully get him healthy enough to turn over to a wildlife sanctuary. Eight years later- he is loving his very expensive,very tricked out 9ft cage (in our guest room)! We named him EB (short for lucky basted).

Unfornetly just one squirrel now. A worker in the mail room of H's company had rescued a squirrel named Sammie from their dog. After several years of raising him domestically they lost their house and had to move to an apt. We took in Sammie- he was very unhealthy and grossly overweight. He was such a sweetheart but shortly after he came to us us he developed paralysis in his back legs. A wildlife vet told us it was a calcium deficiency that could happen in captivity. We bought meds, calcium tabs and built him a long horizontal cage so he could still scoot around (he still had full mobility in his front legs) he seemed ok and lasted several months that way. We tried to give him the best quality of life we could but he finally passesd.
