If we recruit our own family to this board does that make us a cult? :P

Welcome Idothea!

As I was formulating a quick bio for you it made me realize how crazy long this family has been together! Here goes. You may know some of this.

Somewhere in 2000 I found the website Bad Astronomy and its associated bulletin board. Otherwise known as BABB. Many here now started there too. We couldn't talk about religion or politics there without getting in trouble, so we migrated here for those discussions! I can't believe it was over 15 years ago that it began--for me. Some probably even earlier.
I was in Maryland at the time. In 2004 I met my now husband, and in 2006 we moved to Minnesota. It's my 10th year here, holy cow!
We've had two wonderful kiddos, Buster (6) and Russter/Rooster (3).
My official title here is astronomical spokesperson. I work in a planetarium and every now and then get to do interviews for the press. And I sometimes come here to brag. :oops:

So much joy and pain we've seen....
Rommie's grown from an ambitious high schooler doing an amazing radio telescope research project (amiright) to a world traveler and almost PhD.
Two marriages between members (one couple who met through these boards)
Many marriages and kids among the rest of us
The rise and fall of various careers
Too much heartache with serious illness and death, I'm sad to say....but it's inevitable with such a big family.

And of course, many treasured friendships. Welcome to the club!

OMG another Ham radio operator! :cheer: CQ CQ de KB3HTS. :D (Did you get the latest ARRL book to study for your tech license, by chance? If so, I may be on the cover...)

pumpkinpi, my radio astronomy project would be a lot cooler if it worked. :P brite, that child is absolutely adorable, no other words for it!

I get to see that child (and her equally adorable mommy) for a week starting on Saturday... Not that I’m excited or anything...

And Claire looks a lot like her mommy....

Sean (or Poe, if you prefer... he answers to both) looks like his dad....

It's only a bad word if you don't want to be stalked. ;) I was your prey. You won fair and square. :D

I found BABB late in 2003. I arrived here at FWIS in 2004. I met vendic late in 2004 and married him late in 2005. We'll be celebrating our tenth next week (December 29), but there won't be astronomy involved because of the rain that's going to be here for the next ten days. :roll:

We met our husbands in the same year! :D
