Greetings, everyone!

I heard (over and over and over) what a great place this was, so I decided to come check it out for myself.

A little about me: I live in Michigan, single mom of a preadolescent, work in marketing for an auto parts manufacturer (it's hard to get away from the car business in this part of the world!) and I'm a full-time college student as well. I am a singer, a Civil War living historian (most would call me a re-enactor), and an artist. I create jewelry from metal, glass, and semiprecious stone.

I'm opinionated, fiscally conservative but socially liberal, and uninhibited when it comes to sharing what I think. I've heard that this place is a great place to do so, and that you all respect one another enough to share opinions and viewpoints without personal attacks. I think I'm going to like it here!

Welcome Erinna



(yes, I am excited for the newbies) :yh_bigsmi

Hey Erinna!!!! You and I could have some good talks, I think, as I am opinionated myself, and not shy about sharing.

You seem to know your way around politics, judging from your intro... and there's a bunch of great debates going on about that! Being a bit uninformed in that area, I mostly read, trying to learn. Welcome!!! You're gonna love it!!!

P.S. LOVE your signature line!!!!! :yh_worshp

It's either that or my Barry Manilow 8 Track ~ take your choice

I don't mind the Barry Manilow...(Yes, I really do like him)...but I have this unnatural 8-track phobia..... :yh_nailbi

Barry it is!!

Now that's just mean!!!

Is it rude of us to use Erinna's introduction for our own amusement like this??

Hey, Erinna...What kind of music do you sing, and what is a "re-enactor"? Like, you re-enact scenes from the Civil War?

Cassie...why do you want to scare me???.....BabyRider = :yh_angel

Welcome Erinna, I'm a newbie also.

Hey BabyRider...I sing lots of stuff. I've been singing since I was about six, off and on....I like to find a new karaoke bar that I haven't been to before and just blow them away (and I'm modest, too) My sister likes to come with me. :sneaky: :yh_giggle

Yep, a re-enactor recreates scenes from whichever period they happen to be re-enacting. My period is the War Between the States. I love to dress up in my 19th-century clothes and walk around battlefields. It's a great icebreaker.

Hi Erinna, How has your experience with the FG been so far? Are you enjoying yourself, thats good, i thought so..Cheerio, talk to you soon. :-6
