Been with DH for 12 years, married for 5. We have one DS and a dog. Oh and a fucking woodpecker who refuses to leave and likes to wake us up at 6am on the weekends.
I've met Jonathan Jackson from GH (Lucky) & his brother Richard Jackson (who was on SBTB: New Class). They had a band and played local charity events. This was when I was 14/15 and my bedroom walls were plastered with photos I clipped from Tiger Beat.

I've been a lurker/occassional poster for a while. We live near Seattle.
Since I started lurking on MM we have paid off more than 40k in consumer debt, and build ourselves a decent savings account. It has completely changed our lives. We will never go back to consumer debt! Thanks MM!

I've been pseudo lurking for a few months, posting here and there.
I work in financial services and underestand alot about suitable investments, risk, exposure-the technical side of stuff, but I'm dumb about our own money, budgeting and can't pay a bill on time to save my life. Luckily DH handles bill payment. We're trying to stay on a budget, and we do well sometimes
I was a Knottie/Nestie back in the day, got divorced, and then became mostly a lurker.
I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and we're getting ready to move in together.
Random fact: I loooove sex.
Also: If someone can help me get my damn avatar to work, I will be forever grateful. I found a google image, I'm right-clicking and selecting "Copy Image Location" then pasting the url into the avatar box of my profile, but it won't work. Help please?
I will post here because I did not post enough to be recognizable on TNMM.
I work at an art museum.
I met Tyler Christopher, formerly of GH now on ABC Family's Lying Game, at an underage club outside Chicago. I also saw Nicole Kidman in Venice but did not meet her.
Finally, I am incredibly jealous of Dorothy because Original Recipe Lucky was awesome.

I've been a lurker for a while on MM. I used to be on BNOTB with a different username until the ala drama went down. I had only started posting a bit before that though, so I wasn't a reg or anything.
My interesting fact is that I am an aspiring YA writer.

Long time lurker here (I've been lurking for about 4 years). I am 31, my husband and I have been married for four years, together for seven. We have one cat, and no kids (not planning on ever having children) and we live in Cincinnati.
Random fact: I was struck by lightning when I was 7.
I've also decided to "come out" now that MM has moved from The Nest, since it was too hard to post via iPad.
Married, live in Texas, 17-month-old daughter. Recently made a major career change in order to spend more time with my daughter. Excited to finally be contributing to the board!!

Hi. My name is Orchideous. DH and I (and 2 cats) live in Kentucky (but we wear shoes). I'm lurked for quite a while. I work in property management, do weight watchers, and enjoy being child-free.
Some fun facts about me: I don't have a tv We share one vehicle (in a city with shitty public transportation) We are saving for a DP on our first house! I want to be a foster parent
Hello! I'm Bektron, seems like I am late to the party!
Some things about myself: I am studying accounting I am obsessed with my budget, but way to scared to post it! I have a german shorthaired pointer named Milo. He is the love of my life. I also have a husband I'm about half way through 50 shades of gray, but had to lock it away in order to study for my finals this week!! very interesting! We live in Las Vegas.

I took my ex on judge Judy and won :)
ETA I started posting back in the day on the LA knot board and never really got rid of my habit. I mostly lurk here but I have posted maybe a hand full of times.

I posted on TK back in '06, but changed jobs right after the wedding and just lurked on TN.
I'm a PhD, currently in my dream job managing a team of people doing work in my specialty area. I live in LA, and regularly check Miso's blog to get her thoughts on local restaurants. I am a foodie.
Semi-lurker. Excited to start posting more with this new site!
Random facts about me (nothing too terribly interesting): I moved from Austin to Denver to go to college. I met my H in a business class freshman year. We've been married since September 2011, together for just over 5 years. I work as a food and beverage manager at a country club and I absolutely love my job. We have two beagles: Bella (10), Guapo (9) We treat them like actual children. It's slightly ridiculous. We are about 2 months away from being totally debt free (aside from student loans and one car payment) We are excited to buy a house toward the end of 2013.
<--- My sig pic is one I took on our honeymoon in New Zealand.

My husband is related to John Wayne. My dad once worked on a court case for which Sandra Bullock was suing her contractor. No personal brushes with celebrity though.
Crazy: My exH announced his affair at our house warming party to all of our friends who were in town and staying with us for the weekend.
Wow..... I am so sorry. What a jerk.
It made them choosing sides in the divorce easy though, I just sat there in such shock. It was how I found out, he gave details too. Two years later I am doing great and all of the friends are still there for me.

I've been married for almost 5 years and knew my husband only 6 months when we got engaged. He bought a ring about 2 months into our relationship.
We are completely debt free and own our house and cars. We are 28 & 29.
I just graduated with a Master's degree in Business Administration.
I'm a Christian and fairly conservative, so I disagree with many of the options on a lot of political issues here. But I like to understand the reasons people disagree with me, and so I stick around. Life is kind of boring if I allow myself to stay in a bubble where everyone thinks like me.
