Just thought I would post this in case people want to share.....

I am 24, married and have 3 kids....yes I'm crazy....and thats all I will say for fear I might tell you info you didn't want to know.

I took me 2 years out of highschool working in factories to decide to go to college. I began school and never looked back. Fighting finances....lack of employment and a bunch of other things I have battled through school. I will recieve my bachelors of science in Business Management this spring. I already have an associates in Business Information systems. Because of the way i mixed courses it also allowed for me to get 4 certificates. Computer Support Professional, Entreprenuership, Retail Management, and E-Commerce Support professional certificate.

I have to many hobbies to name but I as you can tell do a lot with computers. From web page design, hardware support, software support and many more areas. I hit all areas. Broad range of knowledge but by far I am not an expert in any area. Sports activities were a lot of may hobbies until school but I plan to get back to playing basketball and football once school is over. Gaming is one of my big hobbies. Mostly RPG and strategy type games such as Dungeon Siege, Warcraft 2, etc.

Martial Arts is more than a hobby to me. I have been studing since .... well I think I was 11....so 13 years...wow. Once again I have not been able to do it much since school...but i will get back to it...just on hold for a bit. I attribute a lot of my success in certain areas to Martial Arts. I no longer have that short temper....I haven't ever tried and will never try any drugs and i learned to meditate which you would not believe how much that helps me stay calm...even for tests in school.

My kids are my life other than what you all see on here by my posts. They bring a wonderful dimension to my life, they often give me the strength to move on. Their ages are 5, 3 1/2, and 1 1/2. Busy is an understatement in my life sometimes...but i'm not complaining because I can't stand to be bored.

Past jobs I have had...........their are a lot.....Spent 2 years in plastic factories.....worked part time at Subway (I hate working with food.) Was a customer support and technical support person for an ISP and last year worked as a student worker in the computer lab....and that by far was my best job....to bad it was temporary.

Okay ..... that is me in a nutshell....i'm sure there is something I left out...but you get the idea.

I am Lisa

I work at a Ukrainian Orthodox Seminary which is located on our local University as an Admin Assistant. I love my job, they are great people and have the most fantastic sense of humor. Who coulda thunk priests could be so funny? :)

I have two kids, girls, 15 and 11. They are the true joys in my life and keep me grounded and keep me going. I have been married for 19 years to a wonderful man who likes to play with rifles, lots of them!

My sig line says it all when it comes to my knowledge of computers :D

That is me in a nutshell...except lately, I have been having really weird dreams... ;)

*Moved to Introductions :D

I am Andrew ;)

I live alone (with a cat)

I teach computer courses in a community based college program, I also run the IT for the company.

I run a few websites, and tend to favor php/mysql for developing them. I would like to get more into running a shared web server, I've worked with servers, but always ones that where in the same building as me ;)

I've been doing Martial Arts for almost 17 years, and teach a couple nights a week.

I will leave my comment about that out....lol

Lisa, I have an uncle who is a pastor, and one who is a priest...your lucky niether one of them are funny....lol. The pastor is one who thinks Harry Potter is evil and the Priest reads the harry potter books, plays dungeons and dragons...and guess what he is a Catholic priest...wierd...you would think it would be the other way around.

I assist a Professor at school sometimes with his karate class....that is as close to teaching i have been since I have not had time to make it to a dojo. He teaches a 1 credit karate class....it is shotokan karate.

I always thought of Orthodox Priests as being staunchy as well but it is not the case with my boss and his wife, who is the office manager. They have a wonderful sense of humor and the biggest hearts I have ever seen. There truly isn't a day that goes by at work that we don't end up laughing till our sides hurt.

oh gosh... my cat goes absolutely bonkers running after the red dot. I'm waitin for him to start climbing the walls. He is already climbing the screened in porch walls! The other cat does not care for it one bit thought... She prefers trying to figure out how to eat the potted plants! Brings up recollections of Garfield :)

There is the red dot boy. Hope the attachment works!

Mine has climbed walls... not after the red dot, just for fun...

I have a fireplace, with a rock wall, she has climbed up the rock wall, only did it a couple of times though, hit the top and there was a shelf in her way so had to give up.

Mine (Zip) has gotten a bit too fat for that lately... he is a bit over 20 lbs now I think... big boy!
