So, that gives you some insight into me! obviously, not everything, but a good start. I'll be using this journal as a way for me to keep track of ideas and thoughts and plans and such for my little slice of homesteading purgatory, and as a way for me to keep track of dates that things were born, or bought, etc. If any of this is any help to you, so be it. If you have questions, comments, concerns, complaints, or just feel like being happy or b*t*h*, feel free to leave a comment. I reserve the right to demote you to the status of Grand Pisser at any time or elevate you to the status of nice person equally at my discretion ;)

"Courtly bow" - are you in SCA too?
My smilies aren't working at all now, but that's because of virus protection stuff. The price of safety is pretty high. I'll have to learn how to type them now.
Hope you enjoy the site. Lots of cool stuff to learn about, and lots of laughs sometimes too.
