'Ello.

Pensive Monkey · 07-14-2009, 11:32 AM

My spouse and I are waiting to hear from our realtor about a house that we made an offer on last night. Impatient and excited, I've been browsing the internet for information about the work I'd like to do on the house, if we get it. I did a search on building your own privacy fence, and that's when I stumbled upon this forum (an old thread started by a girl who wanted to build a fence at an apartment she was hoping to rent came up when I googled fence-building). I was amused by a number of the comments on that thread, and after perusing the forum a bit, I thought I might descend into the Cellar myself.

So hello. A brief introduction...

I'm married and have 3 young children. I live in the midwest. I'm a senior in college (but won't be graduating for 2 more years, due to the aforementioned children). I'm studying French and English and will be teaching one or the other, or both, to high schoolers upon graduation, assuming I find a job. I love language, travel, and writing. Kind of a francophile. Don't know why...I just am.

Um...probably more info I should give. But just ask, if you'd like to know.

Quite a collection of monkeys we're getting here. In a variety of moods.

Welcome!

That's OK, we're reasonably tolerant.

Welcome to the Cellar, Pensive.

That sounds like a StacyV thread... I hope no souls were spit upon...

Welcome Monkey.

Pensive Monkey · 07-14-2009, 12:55 PM

Yes, that's the one.

And my apologies for adding more monkeys to the mix.

Happy Monkey · 07-14-2009, 12:57 PM

You take that apology back right now! You can never have too many monkeys!

Shawnee123 · 07-14-2009, 01:00 PM

If anything, we need MORE monkeys!

Welcome Pensive!

Pensive Monkey · 07-14-2009, 01:05 PM

I agree, though we do tend to stink up the place. But the apology is hereby retracted.

Wonder what monkey bacon would taste like?

Pensive Monkey · 07-14-2009, 01:13 PM

Not very good, I should think. Monkeys aren't fat enough. (This is not my way of proclaiming to be gloriously slender, by the way.)

monster · 07-14-2009, 01:19 PM

ah well. welcome

Hallo hallo Pensive Monkey

Nice to meet you...

Now all we need is Grumpy, Sleepy and a few other monkeys and we'll have a full set!
