Hello from Maine
« on: December 29, 2010, 07:23:17 PM »
Hello everyone, My name is Tania and I live in Maine. I work at Walmart(7 years), I am never sure

whether I should be proud that I have worked there for that long. In this economy I consider myself

fortunate to have a job at all. I also have started my own business, which is slow going at the

moment, but have some great ideas, which I hope to implement in the near future. The company is

called Seahorse Crafts of Maine.

At this moment, Maine will be introducing its new governor, Paul LePage. I am not quite happy in the

state of affairs this country is in, but we are all in this together, so we must hash it out.  Hope to

get involved in the forum.

Welcome. :)

With this economy, you should be glad you have a job.  There are a lot of decent people that can't say that.  I spent the last three years doing work I hated but I finally got a job I like that gives me a chance to do what I enjoy.

Well, to be honest, two reasons: Somebody I was with on another forum is a member here. The other forum , I was on, was shutdown due to many disagreements that got way out of hand. Even though another forum was somewhat put in its place, wasn't my bag so to speak.

Welcome, seahorse.  I'm from a bit further west in Upstate NY than Carl is.  A tip for you--there's two animals you should never discuss in here--ptarmigans and bunnies.  Why, might you ask?  Just stick around and watch.  Eventually it'll become evident.
