Melissa

Welcome Melissa!  This is a fun, informative site with great people.  Enjoy and have fun!

Hi guys!
I rarely get to write much beyond reviews the last few months- life has been very overwhelming for me.  But I wanted to take a moment to say hello FINALLY here- and just tell you all that I enjoy reading the reviews you have written when I get the chance. Once life settles down a bit more I hope to be able to spend more time in the community.   Until then, I will keep enjoying reading what you have all written! 

I am a makeup artist/ computer builder-tutor, having the unqiue two sides of my brain equally strong. That can lead to some frustration, but it is also good fodder for an interesting life.  :)  I like off beat music, movies, and other things that is not mainstream necessarily.  I am also an artist that paints paintings, and teach my daughter at home.  Great to mee you all!  :)

Hello my name is Anna I live in Alaska for the time being my husband is in the military. I love art and photography, I am an amateur in both..lol! I paint, sculpt and take way to many photos. I want at some point to go back to school for Digital art /graphic design something like that... Just a few things about me... Oh and I am with Meredith on the chocolate love it!!!

Hello to you all! What a great way to see so many new members, when I visited the message boards.  I hope to (in the AM) stop by your profiles too. Anna -- maybe you can showcase some of your photography and art!

Melissa I am a SAHM too -- sometimes it's nice to get on here just to have an "adult" conversation or too. As long as I don't catch myself saying pee pee, potty or tinkle I am having a good day!

So welcome all. 

 

Married with 1 boy and 1 boy on the way. Police Officer, former Automotive Engineer. Wife is in HR. Big on saving and on having fun. SCUBA, mountain biking, classic Corvette restoration, football, soccer, road cycling, and any other family sport/activity.

Hello Everyone,
I am Anastasia, born and raised in Russia - but living in the US for 13 years already. I am an Interior Designer by trade and work at an architectural firm. I am married to the love of my life and we are expecting our first child this comming January, a baby girl. I live in the suburbs but dream of getting away from civilization and living closer to nature, somewhere in the mountains (my husband shares my ambition).

I enjoy reading, writing, cooking, and art. My imagination is quite wild and I do not understand people who say they are 'bored' when the world is so beautiful, diverse, and waiting to be explored.

Hey everyone!  I am new to Viewpoints and still trying to figure it all out.

I am Marilyn.  Been married 37 years.  I am a mom, waiting to be a mother-in-law and then hopefully within a couple of years a grandma.  The wedding is in January!  Near Cabo.  We are all very excited!   

I have always been a small town person and love living in the woods.  Lived in northern Nevada for years and years but now live in beautiful north Idaho! 

Had breast cancer earlier this year, but caught it early and it was small.  I am having my 6 month follow-ups right now, and everything is looking good.

Very artsy crafter over the years.  Love quilting, photography, stained glass, writing, watercolor and Pogo.  Like to go fishing and camping and walking.  Enjoy having a bunch of people over and cooking dinner for them.

I am a Christian!  Love my Jesus, love my husband, love my son and future daughter-in-law, love my sisters and nieces and nephews, love my church family.  Love...it's the first and greatest commandment.

Hello, here I am. My name is Amy and I'm a 23 year old homemaker with 2 children and I am, obviously, a night owl because it is 2 am and I'm on a random site that I found thru Mypoints.com and I've created a profile and everything. SO check it out if you want to know more or want to be my friend...or whatever. I might check back up on this thing but I have written the required amount of reviews for my points so I think I am out of here. Y'all have a good one, Happy HOlidays! ~Peace,love,grub

Howdy, I'm MexicanJim. I'm not really Mexican, but I like the food. I'm a Freelancer out of Burbank, CA and a single Dad raising two teenage boys. I also coach basketball and eat too much ice cream. Have you tried those pints of Dove? Amazing!

 Anyway, I stumbled across this website, like you do, and liked it. I hope you enjoy it while I babble on about products and places, and let my moods play out. You know how moody we writers are. If you're not fond of my babble, let me know. I won't care, but it's fun to know.

 What else is interesting? Let me see . . . I was a U.S. Marine for several years. I used to do security for a lot of celebs. Oh yeah, and I really don't like clowns. At the circus it's okay, but if I catch one walking down the street, all bets are off. Plus I don't like catfish, bubble gum, non-green veggies, Lionel Richie or Idaho.

 Other than that, I'm a very simple guy.

I am ZombieAccomplice.  As you can see by my screen name, I love all things nerdy.  Haha. I'm a big video game, movie, and snack fanatic, and try to look past the hype and look at everything objectively (at least, in my reviews).  If you're a cynic who loves all of these things, check out my reviews.

Hope to see you at Z-day!

He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new.
He's an old hippie...his new life is just a bust.
He ain't trying to change nobody,
He's just trying real hard to adjust.

Sometimes I think it's a miracle that I can even work a computer at all.  I'm a dinosaur & most of my reviews show it.  It's funny - growing up on rock 'n roll, that one of my theme songs is by a country group - The Bellamy Brothers.  The other is also by a country artist.  From my truckin' days - "Prisoner of the Highway" the original by Ronnie Milsap.  Thus came my old C.B. handle - Prisoner.  P.S. NEVER, EVER tell anyone on the C.B. that he's a "good buddy".  I would laugh so hard at the Hollywood movies.  A good buddy in trucker lingo is a rest area - how should I put this - GAY man looking for a good time.   

Morning!  I'm Brendan, known at one point as Sleep "E".  That was my stage name back in the day.

I'm superactive, but have learned to focus my time.  I'm married with 3 children, so my time isn't mine anymore.  My family has helped me make the most of my time.  It's limited...greatly...so I have to work smart and fast.  Of course, it doesn't help that I'm not just a member, but also president of procrastinators anonymous.  We're still waiting for the right time to start meetings, so check with me tomorrow for date/time/location.

In line with my family, my greatest passion is writing.  I'm a writer...I write.  Whether it's short stories, articles, poetry, novel (taking a while for that one), articles, copy, press releases, jotting notes, taking class note, technical writing, you name it....I write.  I'm waiting on soemne to develop the waterproof notepad so I don't have to run dripping wet down the hall when I have an inspired though in the shower.  You can read some of my works at my blog.

I'm a bit of a paradox.  I work very well with others, but I'm shy, so I it's not always comfortable for me.  In business or leadership settings, I'm at the forefront of discussions and decisions; unafraid to speak up.  At a social gathering, I'm chatting with the flies.  And I don't drink, so I'm usually soberly, keeping to myself.  I warm up quickly, just still have trouble initiating casual conversation.

I'm a volunteer having worked my way all through the ranks: volunteer, group organizer, organizational volunteer coordinator, board member.  I love giving up my time for others.  Wait, did that come out right.  Yeah, I guess it did.

I'm learning to try new things.  For me, that's a MAJOR step.  I'm the guy who once brought McDonald's into a Chinese restaurant. 

Glad to be here and look forward to getting to know you.

Ohh yea: Hello to all of you folks out there ! some body tell me where the party is at.

Hi, my name is Shannon. I live in ILL. most of my life. I am a proud mother of 3 children, two girls and one boy, ages 11,5, and 2. I am also a wife to my wonderful husband.

I have had it ruff these past almost 3 years. My son was born dead. I wasn't able to hold him, kiss him, touch him for over a week and half. The doctor told me that he didn't know if he was going to make it. They had no clue what caused this. It was a normal pregency and planned C-section. Finally when I was able to bring him home he was placed on a heart and lung monitor for over 9 months of the beginning of his life. It was really hard because everytime he stopped breathing and his heart stopped his machine went off and down to the hospital he had to go. My son has been in and out of the hospital more then most people have been in their adult years. He has had over 30 drs and been in the hospital over 15 times in the past 2 1/2 years. My son went under majoy brain surgery because they thought that because all of his delays that is was caused from the fluid that was on his brain. I have waited for over 2 years for my son to call me mom and finally the day after he had a shunt placed into his brain he call me mom. I started to cry and just held him for the longest time. He starts school in March, but I am scared because of everything that he is going threw. I know that he will be safe, but I am very protective of him and so is his sisters. The doctors still have no clue what is wrong with him and how he has gotten this way, but they think that he might have gigantic disorder. His head is the size of a grown man and his heigth is that of a 4 year old child.

Now I do have two beautiful daughters and they are just outstanding. My eldest is a straight A student and my 5 year old is just a dramam queen in the making.

My husband almost dies last july. He has lung failure due to his weight. He finally stopped drinking because he was an alcoholic and went under the gastro bypass surgery Aug of this year. He has went from 469lbs down to 318lbs in this short amount of time. I am so proud of him.

I am proud to be who I am. I am a mother of many problems with my family but I keep it together for them. I also bring in my neices and nephews when they have no place to go. I have brought in many other kids from my town into my house for free so that the parents could work. I love to recycle, and make my town a better place for my kids. I also try my best for help out with the schools.

Now it is your turn to share your story....... 

 

Hello. I'm an opinionated individual with many likes, interests, and a few dislikes.  Chief among the likes: coffee.  Chief among the dislikes: bad coffee.  Other than that, I'm a pretty easy going guy.  Well, maybe not entirely easy going.  I won't put up with bad products, nor will I stay quiet about bad customer service, but I have been known to give some companies a second chance.  Conversely, I'll speak well about great products and great service.

I call Orlando Florida home most of the time.  I have a beautiful wife and one cat, but no kids for now.  By trade I'm a business consultant with a background in IT.  I travel a lot, primarily between Florida and Colorado, working with start-up's and small businesses.

For fun I like reading, mostly non-fiction with some fiction occasionally.  I love reading about businesses and entreprenuership.  I also live on the computer and Internet, and I'm a bit of a news junkie.  I also love watching movies when I have time, and of course I love writing reviews.  Finally, in addition to being an aviation buff (although I don't fly myself) and being a minor gear head (love the auto's section), I also enjoy biking, running, boating, and some hiking (they'd kick me out of Colorado if I didn't like hiking at least a little bit).

Hi! My name is Diane. I live near West Bend, WI. I am married for 19 years and we have four boys 18, 16, 15, & 11. What a handful!!. We have a small hobby farm and raise beef cows. We both have outside fulltime jobs. Our boys are active in 4-H & FFA as well as being in track, football, & wrestling which take up alot of our fun time for the meets and games.  We also enjoy snowmobiling.
