Finally coming out into the light
 

Hi all, I wanted to introduce myself. I have been a lurker since I came back from maternity leave and found you guys (my daughter's 19m old). So I've been around awhile. Finally feel comfortable enough to step out and try to post my opinions for discussion since there haven't been any assholes around lately :). Since having a baby and evaluating my life, I realized I am way too ignorant about government and politics in general. That's how I came upon the cellar, in my search for information.
I have already learned a lot just by observing all of you (scientist in me) but surely will get a lot more out of actually participating.
You are a unique group of people, I hope I can contribute another view on the topics at hand.

PS. the image of the day ROCKS. Thanks UT!

What's this "no assholes" stuff? I can think of a couple off the top of my head. :D

Welcome, LabRat. Congratulations on your little girl.

Welcome! What kinda science?

Well don't expect to learn anything from this bunch of halfwits. Except maybe lumberjim - he's occasionally wise.

Welcome LabRat ;)

Welcome, LabRat.

You have started off on the right foot. I don't see any photoshop threads at your expense in the future. Unlike that Rich fella.

And yes, UT is the total package. [/suck up] :)

edit: Note to self - when taking 13 minutes to compose a lousy two-line post, hit reload before posting to make sure someone else (glatt in this case) didn't do a better job with the same idea :)

hey, don't beat around the bush, perth. If you're going to call me an asshole, go ahead and do it. ;)
