...never Thought I'd Post Here...
Posted: 09-16-04 10:34am

Let me give you a little background about me. Smile i've been an avid lurker on this forum for about six months now and i've never really felt the need to post anything. I first found the forum after seeing a reference to it on another site, criticizing teen pregnancy and the handling of the topic on these boards.

( Exclamation before those talons come out... Exclamation )

so I started browsing around this forum and reading all of the older posts and newer posts and I just kept coming back...And coming back. And finally, I realized that I actually wondered "has so and so had her baby yet?", "will so and so be having a boy or a girl?", etc.

So here I am! I am not pregnant, nor am I a teenager (though i'm not far removed!). I am 21, live in south florida and have been married for 2.5 yrs. I have persistant baby fever at times, but in no way am I ttc.

Anyway, I just finally figured that since I spent so much time on here, I might as well say hi.

...So, "hi".

Hey, jennifer. My name is karin. No kids, no pregnancy. Smile my husband is lyndon. We live in delray beach, florida - hate it here!! (well, I do. He likes it.) I am a legal assistant waiting to go back to college (crossing my fingers for an acceptance letter!) and he owns a mass mail business.

Hey, random sidenote: what's with the unexplainable capital and lowercase letter that come up, even if it's not what i've typed?

The administrator of the forum changed the code so that it automatically changes your post to adhere to strict capitalization rules. Basically, the first letter after any punctuation that ends a sentence is caps. You can get around it by doing this:

.L.O.O.K .A.T .M.E! A.L.L .C.A.P.S!!

Btw, i'm erin. I'm 22 and also married. I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my first child, a little girl!

Interesting. And all along I just thought that there was no respect for proper punctuation on these boards! Laughing

jennifer and erin - being insurance girls (erin, you were, right?), are either of you familiar with the aicpcu/iia? I used to work there and took some classes while I was an employee.


Chanda - nice to "meet you. May I ask - how did you end up here as a non-pregnant, non-ttc?

I joined sept 17, 2003. I thought I was preggy at the time and I came for support. I found out I wasn't preggy and I just... Loved the forum so I decided to stay. I have a lot of friends with kids. All my friends 16-25 have kids and so....... I know a lot about kids. I have 2 younger siblings and a niece I am raising so I felt that I could help bring insight to the forum. I had one other preggy scare since I joined but it was begative and now.... I am in love with the forum so I don't leave! Laughing

Chanda - I can definitely understand coming back again and again...That's what happened to me.

Liz - hi. Would you answer the same questions I asked chanda? What brought you here? Research for your future as a teacher?

Erin - no, it's a company that provides insurance education and certifications. The .I.R.C (insurance research council) also operated out of the same location. Basically, they provide education and certifications (most prominently, the .C.P.C.U - .Chartered .Property .Casualty .Underwriter) to agents, auditors, adjusters, underwriters, etc.

Lol...Oh. I'm just always curious when I meet people who are in insurance because I loved working up there. I briefly considered going into insurance when we moved down to florida but decided to go in a different direction, instead.
