I Was curious about the influence of culture/geography with all of the talent that is in and out of here. Not that it makes any difference, but I've heard reference to different terms, not to single anyone out but Darkinger mentioned "Pub", here we call'em bars or clubs. Yeah I know it's a weird question, but where are you all from? I'm from Connecticut, USA

Age: 54 Earth-years (i.e., old enough to really know better, but young enough to often say "what the hell?" and go for it anyway). Never married (never going to be) - but I have 2 "kids" - 1 Maine coon & 1 British shorthair (which is as close to having children as I'm ever likely to get - just as well, since I long ago recognized that I'm NOT good parent-material).

Bullhead City, Arizona, hottest place on earth. Can hit well into the 130's here in the summer. Age 41 until next week, then I turn 39 again (lol). Single, never married (traveled too much when I was younger, no women in this town now that I'm starting to settle). One cat that's a year old and cackles like a dolphin instead of a normal meow. Seems like the Brycers are not the young teens that like computers. Interesting. Does this mean Bryce is a big boy toy?

I'm glad the ones who are here don't mind the age range. Speaking of different cultural influences, I've started getting interested in art from central and south america - not just the ancient archeology stuff, but what people are creating today.

Ummm...have to post here so Isstrout won't feel like the lone female. I'm single, 44, previously married (we won't go there), currently dating a Brit - (until he misbehaves), with a Sealpoint Himalayian cat named Nicholas. I like my males warm and fuzzy. Good thing both the cat and the boyfriend have chest hair. As for location - I'm currently in Summerville - a 'burb of Charleston, SC, but I'm actually a Virginia girl. Oh - I love Arizona. My sinuses loved the dry heat. Charleston requires the use of an air conditioner from February through December. I spent some time in this spring. They have REAL mountains there! And wonderful silver jewelry!

isstrout, there are actually a lot of ladies that do Bryce and other forms of computer art. Not all are regular posters here. So is this possibly the dating game? Hehehehe, you know how hard it is to find a lady who is willing to appreciate artists let alone one who actually does art? My sister has the same gripe. She is 47 and never married. Only guy that will win her is one that likes art. Brother is 50 and never married, he's the best artist in the family, and just plane wierd.

The pub in question is in the west of Ireland. I'm English, but moved here (Co. Mayo, right on the coast) three years ago. 43, one husband (oh yeah, I'm female!), four dogs, four chickens and two cats. And yes, I think where I live influences what I do as far as making pictures goes - we're surrounded by very Bryce-like landscapes - mountains, lakes and sea - and the ever-changing weather is an inspiration! Then there's all the Celtic stuff, of course...

The oldest boys are out of the house, so it feels like I only have one kid. Just down to one old cat now for pets. Lost our dear Buddy after 14 years of love. Being in San Diego is environmentally challenging. We only have three types of days; cloudy in the morning, sunny rest of day; sunny all day; Hmmm, I take that back, only two types of days here... When it does rain, we all stand by the windows and oh and ahh.

EricofSD, I have noticed that a lot of women post occasionally, but not always regularly, I'm just wondering why. A dating game? It seems unlikely since so many people here are already involved with someone. I have casually noticed that on the whole, the women I personally know are more willing to put aside their personal/professional interests for family than the men I personally know are willing to do. This arrangement seems to work for all the parties involved, and I am not trying to criticize it, I am simply making an observation. Lin

I think there are more females lurking out there, but they are probably busy taking care of kids, husbands, animals, etc. Luckily for me, Nicholas the cat doesn't want much attention. Between work and home I spend so much time at the computer, I have to do housework or take a walk to get exercise. I'm actually a geek turned artist as I normally design websites or work on hardware/software conversions/upgrades. This is the time of year though, when you'll find me in the woods on most weekends dressed as a 19th century living historian demonstrating home arts (butter churning, spinning, weaving, etc.)

Male 39 married late (just celebrated third anniversary on 9/26). Three cats, two slightly feral, one primadonna. Los Osos, CA (right on the coast near Morro Bay with a fine view of the famous "Rock") Dive bar about a mile away and nicer "club house" at the golf coarse two blocks away. Atomic: lots of horses nearby and I used to ride quite often.

This is so much fun! I'd like to thank everyone for putting a little bit about yourselves here. Especially the people who don't often post. We seem to cover quite a range. Any one else out there?

sorry for calling you back folks... I just couldn't stand to see this thread stop at 99... I love horses... but have you ever tried to pet one while it's sitting in your lap in front of a roaring fire on a cold winter's day? Still got the hoof prints on my knee-caps... :o)

That's a good one FWT!

The real challenge tho is getting them to put the seat down after they're through using it.

Well I'm willing to add to the length. The weather has been pretty gorgeous here in the NW, which is a surprise because by now it's usually settled into the steady winter drizzle. Since we are so off topic anyway, have any of you ever changed the heating element in an oven, mine is broken and needs to be replaced. Lin


Aldaron posted Mon, 21 October 2002 at 4:33 PM

Well adding to the off topic. Most oven heating elements just plug in like the stove top elements.


Rayraz posted Tue, 22 October 2002 at 9:02 AM

I don't know too much about ovens. Maybe your oven has a helpdesk?..

Rain, rain, and more rain. With temperatures of between -3 and -4 degrees expected over the weekend. :(


lsstrout posted Tue, 22 October 2002 at 11:48 AM

Well the last time an oven element went out, I called a repair guy, but I haven't got the spare money for that now. He seemed to have to use a wrench, if I remember correctly. I suppose I'll just have to crawl in the darn thing and look for myself. Maybe I can dress up as the Hansel and Gretel witch and at least get an amusing picture out of it.


Atomic_Anvil posted Tue, 22 October 2002 at 11:51 AM

Isstrout, Just be sure to disconnect electric power to your stove before you go crawling in there, wouldn't want you to have a "shocking" experience. Atomic Anvil

Rayraz, it's those cold Arctic winds that are causing all the problems. "The North wind doth blow, and we will have snow, and what will cock robin do then, poor thing,"..........Freeze.


Nukeboy posted Tue, 22 October 2002 at 6:04 PM

Autumn is usually our best time of year here on the Central Coast. Summers tend to be very foggy (inland temps are in the 100s which sucks the moisture on shore. By October, the inland has cooled down and the coast is beautiful... clear skies with temps around 70 / 50 F. We're hoping for a rainy winter, we've been experiencing drought conditions; 5 inches less rain than usual. "They" are predicting El Nino conditions which will either bring floods, or no rain at all. Go figure.


Zhann posted Tue, 22 October 2002 at 11:33 PM

Well it's been sunny and in the 60's in Colorado, perfect Indian Summer, no leaves left. Just today it was overcast, I hope it drizzles all week, we could use the water. If we don't get much snow (and it should have started by now) next summer we'll have a repeat of the Glenwood Springs/Durango/West Elk Creek/Frontrange fires. (It's very distrubing walking out your front door into a cloud of smoke)Our house backs up to BLM land (Bureau of Land Management) where all the wild fires start...can't wait for snow, snow, SNOW...

I've washed the car and all the windows of my house. Praying for rain. We need it so much here in California. Last year we only had a little over 3 inches for the entire year. Even the weeds in my backyard didn't grow. Today it is cloudy and cool - about 60. First chance of rain in a looooong time.

You are all praying for rain and here in the West of Scotland we're praying that the tap turns itself off. In the news last night on TV, we were being told that more rain fell in some areas, in a few hours, than was normal for the entire month leading to wide spread flooding everywhere. And they say that global warming is not a reality. Could we swap weather for a while guys......Please


lsstrout posted Wed, 23 October 2002 at 4:21 PM

Perhaps we need a rain moving ceremony... In the Pacific Northwest we have FOG. A few planes have been grounded and some ferries held up. I've always thought fog was neat. Atomic Anvil, thanks for reminding me about the power. Better safe than sorry. Lin


catlin_mc posted Wed, 23 October 2002 at 6:03 PM

Well fog can look lovely when rendering certain situations, I too thinks it's neat as long as I'm not doing 60mph on the motorway. :)


Aldaron posted Wed, 23 October 2002 at 6:24 PM

Be careful with that fog, near Milwaukee we just recently had like a 40 car pileup with 10 fatalities.

I have family in the US, Australia and Canada. The only ones we have regular contact with live in Vancuver BC. It seems that no matter where you go on the planet there are Scots, and I believe that the US is made up of many Scots and their descendants. You never know we may be related. :) Catlin
