Welcome! I myself have wondered, if you can (eventually) get Shakespeare out of a thousand monkeys and a thousand typewriters, how many monkeys do you need to get The Cellar?

It used to be three monkeys and three typewriters, but due to the bad economy, it had to be cut back to one.

I just spent like 30 minutes looking for this post about the Cellar monkey.

The search brought up alot of my posts with quotes By Happy Monkey, as in the "no two card shuffles will ever be the same" thread, the "Ibram doesn't want to go to college in the South" thread. Also, the "monkey kick off" thread, and the "make the monkey walk device" thread.

G'day PM. I hope you have a lovely time here, although it's highly likely there will be times that the people one here might give you the mega shits, but that's ok. That's just how we show our true affection for you.

It might be rude to ask, but I'm really curious about you being in college and already having three kids. Did you get started early or are you a mature age student?

Not rude at all. I married at 18, had my first wee one at 20, and didn't start school until...mmm...23, I guess. I'm 26 now.

Just an update...we got the house!!

Aliantha, I was in retail for awhile but just decided I'd rather use my brain a bit more. Started school intending to do literary translation, but thought it'd be wise to have a teaching certificate. So...teaching isn't my dream job, but I'm ready for it, and looking forward to the perks!!
