Bear in mind that while we're a generally like-minded group, there are some folks that post here that don't always run with the herd. Welcome to the forum.

Funny, I don't see him asking for donations here--only on HIS webpage.

Since when is that a crime?  Lighten up, Francis.

Can you name one blog that does not have that? Anyways thanks for the welcome everyone! Yes I know there are trolls everywhere you go but I am sure most here are good like minded ppl. I did not join this forum just to promote my page either. You know how hard it is to have a good discussion when you live in a very liberal college town? LOL But anyways thanks everyone hope to talk to everyone soon.

Thanks Chris! And Alpha there is nothing wrong with TJ or JD. But how exciting is TJ? I started using it as a gamertag, then I decided to use it for my blog. I mean how exciting does the TJ blog sound? LOL But yes it does stand for something. My first name is Tim but I have been TJ for as long as I can remember.

You are right.  I was way out of line.  And I apologize all over the place.  I got set off elsewhere and it didn't need to be brought over here.

NHSparky I grew up in Farmington! What years were you in HS?

Graduated in 1984, so I guess 81-84...went to Hermosa Junior High for 9th grade.
Title: Re: Hello guess I'll intro myself here.
Post by: BohemianMonk on June 16, 2010, 11:32:49 AM
A little before my time. I graduated in 92 I also went to Hermosa all 3 years. Pretty cool to meet someone on here that lived there. Funny thing about Hermosa is I live just off 20th and Hutton less than a mile from Heights and yet I was in the Hermosa district. Farmington gotta love it! LOL As soon as I graduated I left for the Army and never looked back.

Yup--38th Street here.  I went back in 2004 for my 20th reunion.  Aside from a few new houses, Pinon Hills golf course, and the WalMart, not a ****ing thing different.

Yep pretty much the same my wife's family still lives there. I guess they have built a new Walmart and shopping center clear out of the west side towards Shiprock but still the same! I have some friends from school on Facebook I think only like 4 of them are still there. Now thats saying something LOL

Title: Re: Hello guess I'll intro myself here.
Post by: IassaFTots on June 16, 2010, 01:25:13 PM
Yes, shortly after they met.  They were working in Farmington, he at the HS, during the depression, one summer in between college semesters.
