Lurker Game

[stingsharkruns]

I have 6 sisters ( 1 real, 1 half, 4 step). Been married 3 years, together for 7.

I love fishing, like, love. If I could get paid to fish, i totally would.

I'm an Ofc Mgr for a Surgeon - The Dr. I work for is amazing (as a Dr. and as an employer).

[steph2008]

Long time lurker checking in!

Random fact: There is a book published where my childhood is the topic/story in one of the sections.

Normal facts:
I'm a teacher, home on maternity leave with a 5 month old son (I go back in Sept)

I'm active on my local board and used to be active on WC

[7costanza]

I used to work in action sports, and have met the worlds most disgusting man - pro skater Lizard King.

Other than that, I live a pretty boring life. Married for 4 years, together 8, we have two cats and are TTC.

[compassrose]

Well, you already know I am a scientist, I've been to Antarctica, and I want to get a doxie. I'm also 30 and divorced, but I was an active poster when I was married, although more on D&R.

I have been wanting to get a compass rose tattoo since my divorce was final, but haven't found the right place, artist, etc yet.

[hilwithonelary]

Nothing too interesting about me here. I have 2 kids and am temporarily SAH. We just moved for DH's job (Air Force), and I'm going to wait until DD is about 6 months old before looking for a job. I'm a pharmacist, and the job market for us isn't what it used to be, so it may be a long search.

I'm from South Dakota...I may be the only one!

Oh...and today's my birthday!

I'm from South Dakota too! I don't live there anymore though.. where abouts?

I live in the Sioux Falls area.

[mariavontrapp]

hmmmm... up to now have spent more than 50% of my married life living with parents - both in-laws and my own... when we bought our own house a few years ago I did a dance similar to maria in my avatar. It was the best day of my life the day we moved in.

[Matka]

I grew up in New England, but now live in the Midwest.

Administrative Assistant soon to be a Nursing Student.

Married for nearly 7 years with a 5 year old and a 2 year old.

In my life before DH and kids, I was an ESL teacher in Japan for 2 years and a wedding photographer for several more. I still shoot weddings and portraits on occasion, but don't have nearly as much time anymore.

[Chuppathingy]

I was a lurker the last two years after DD was born, but before that I was a regular.

My secret is that no matter how much our finances suck income wise, I don't have to worry so much because I get $1000 a month from a trust fund that was left to me when my grandfather died. I still whine incessantly about our budget though because I prefer to live without that money. But logically, I know I need to STFU. We had a few rough months where without that money we would have been in real trouble.

Also, my parents spent a ludicrous amount on my education and I've done really nothing with it. I spent about 3 years in HR and now have moved to working as a paralegal. I have no ambition really beyond that. I just want to collect my pay and stick to a simple moderate middle-class life on purpose. My family is horrified by this.

[honeybee]

I do research on honey bees (hence the name...)

I use to work with penguins and seals.

MM helped me pay down our CC debt by 60% thus far. We'll be free and clear in a few months.

I'm getting married in October (and its all been paid off in cash!)

[Deleted]

I guess I'm a semi-lurker, since I post sometimes. I'm about to celebrate my 6-year dating anniversary with my fiance and we're getting married in a few months.

I like lurking/posting on MM because in real life money can be such a taboo topic, so it's good to get frank advice on the topic here.

[mellymel]

I've been a lurker (& infrequent poster) on MM since 2006.

I am married with a baby who is turning 1 in less than two weeks

My husband is a SAHD - kind of untraditional but works fantastic for our family!

I work in HR and love to weigh in on the HR questions here.

[orchid]

DH and I started dating when I was a sophomore, we got married 7 years later. Now have a beautiful 4 month old baby boy.

We live in Michigan. I will graduate in December with a degree in Secondary Education for Social Studies.

My grandpa was the oldest of 15 kids, that sounds like hell!

I fell asleep during an Aerosmith concert.

[oakleaf]

Married 5 years. Together 13 years. No kids. I used to be very active on my local knot board in the glory days of 2006. Lurked on the nest since then. No hidden talent; never met a celeb, no famous relatives, and I know nothing about 50 shades of grey. I'm boring.

[nicksmom]

Let's see, I have been married for 10 years next year. My son is 5. I live in NJ. I work in healthcare on the insurance side.

[WhatYouSee]

I've been lurking on and off since before there was a Nest

I have a two year old daughter and just found out last week that we're expecting #2.

[reginaphalange72]

When I was 1, we lived in Key West. My parents took me to the aquarium for the day. I leaned on the railing to look into one of the tanks, the railing broke, and I fell into the shark tank and landed on the back of a snapping turtle. My mom had to jump in and get me.

This was before the days of suing everyone.

[lanyac]

For the past 10 years or so, I've only cut my hair every other year. I donate about 13 inches to locks of love every time I cut it.

My parents are there now

[meandhim]

I lurked on MM since 2003.

DH & I would like another kid but I'm too selfish to give up drinking just yet.

I don't like sports bras. They annoy me.

I am still working at my first job (for my parents).

[kzoomaggie]

I am an MM lurker! I am a pretty awesome geek. I am a Statistician and I do research in Women's Health. And I love it!

DH and I also just got a puppy!!! Her name is Penny!

[oreille]

MM: I spent 8 years in college + grad school for to test people's hearing for a living. Some of it was paid for by scholarship, but I also racked up some student loans. They cause me guilt, because DH has none.

Random: It's ironic that I test people's hearing for a living, because i'm slowly losing my hearing as a 20-something. Partially due to my occupation, I'm reasonably fluent in American Sign Language. If I could go back in time, I would also have learned Spanish. I am a language nerd.

[blueballoon]

I'm married and have a love for weird pets. I have rats, snake and an old tarantula currently. Looking to get an axolotl when I have more time to set up a tank.

You're puppy is ADORABLE! We want to get a dog but we're waiting until the majority of our construction projects are done and we can really spend some time with him/her.

[victoria0993]

I'm not that interesting but... I'm from South Carolina. I'm finally getting my degree in Business Management. My husband and I have been married for just over a year now. The only "famous" person/people I'm related to are Peyton and Eli Manning. We are very distant cousins.. and no, I've never met them and they have no idea as to who I am

[Deleted]

Dh and I got engaged 2 weeks after meeting eachother. Couple of crazy kids...

[bella90422]

Was a lurker for years, but am starting post more. I was a Chicago suburbanite but hubbys job moved us to a more rual setting. Living in a small town is interesting to say the least.

I have 2 and 4 yr old and a 1 yr old goldendoodle that I'm obsessed with. I hate tomatoes and I named a crayola crayon- Pacific Blue. I got a certificate and a lot of free crayons ;D

Oh and Suzanne Summers is annoying!

THANKS!!!!! She's been awesome! We love her!

[baconista]

I lurked for a couple months and only posted a few times on MM.

I am a teacher but currently on maternity leave with my 7 month old son.

Interesting fact: I have a street in my hometown named after me.

[brit1017]

I'm a forensic scientist and am married to a police officer. One of the guys in DH's academy class called us the super crime-fighting duo

I have a 4yo and a 2yo, so I am pretty much always frazzled.
