My screen-name is a tribute to my cat that died in 2006, Pumpkin. No, we're not related. However, I wouldn't MIND being related as she doesn't have a heart of stone, isn't screaming "KILL" 24 hours a day about murderers and looks at each murder case individually. ;D That's how I got my name also......(not from your cat).....I lost my boxer, Sadie, in 2006 also. That's her pic I use as my avatar also. She made it to the age of 14!!!

Most people here already know this but I'm called Big Lin because I'm 5ft 11 and weigh 175 lbs!
Lin, of course, is a short form of my full name Linda.

There's a lot of advantages to being short though. We're some of the last ones to get rained on.....we don't have to crawl around as much in a fire......we're more economically and earth friendly because it takes less material to clothe us........(just to name a few).

Hello Folks! Another Board! Another half hour of my day wasted! Bliss! possibly, but if you look at the big picture, what is waste? in all liklihood, in total minutes per day, you probably spend close to half an hour in the bathroom. now, THAT is a waste

Patrick, it's great to see you!
For those who don't know him, he has a great (if often weird) sense of humour.
He's an all-round good bloke as well!

My son-in-law is 6' 5" . The main disadvantages he's found are: 1. the necessity of a california king bed for real comfort, and 2. not always being able to find the clothes he wants to buy in his size. I think, years ago, being tall was a bigger problem. Now, it's starting to even out with lots of tall people.

Hi everyone. I recognised a few names here: Riotgrrl, Alpha Hooligan, Iamjumbo and, of course, Lin.
I daresay I'll get to know everyone else here too in time.
Edit: Oh, and Patrick too! Sorry Patrick.
