Hello fellow Forum Gardeners!

I have been a lurker for quite some time and thought that it was about time I posted something, dammit!

I am 44 years old and live just outside of Boston MA, the home of the 2004 World Champion Red Sox. I live in the 'burbs with my hubby, my cat Rusty and my awesome dog Buster. We are one small happy family.

I find the Gardeners here to be bright and quite clever. Hope I can keep up with you guys!

That was me on Day One :p

I forgot the followup part.

As for me: I am American, almost 44 (just 26 more years to middle age!), and am into training -- especially leadership development. That's where my handle comes from. I firmly believe in holding myself accountable and helping others to hold themselves accountable.



More on my varied background as we go! :driving:Well, I've shifted from training adults to teaching teens, and man is my life better! I've been through quite alot and ya'll have helped me through it. Thanks to everyone. I started to write "especially ...... " but I knew I'd leave someone important off that long list. Just know that you're in my heart.



I'm still holding myself accounable, and my new life's work is helping emotionally disturbed high schoolers learn to do the same for themselves, so I guess the more things change the more they stay the same, eh?

You know I was just thinking that even after around 3 and a half years, FG is still going strong, and that so many members who either joined a long time ago or more recently are still coming back. I wonder how long the legacy of FG will continue to go on for? :-6

The first couple of threads were tests and appear to have been deleted. I think the first extant post is number ten by DigitalFog at 07:50 on 29/07/2004.

My memory of it is registering so's I could jump in and take issue with a post be a certain Mr Accountable :wah:

If I recall it was about abortion.

I've looked but the first post of mine that I can find was :-
