A few suggested that I introduce myself. So far what its worth........

Hi all, Im JohnO (hastalavista) to those that do not know me already. A texas resident for 38 years I have a wife of 16yrs and son 13 and daugter 5............. They hate my music very much. They seem to think its too loud. Huh, and the dam neighbors agree. Go figure. :D I have a bachelors degree in business (accounting) and im not even a bean counter. Matter of fact cant stand beans nor accountants. I did it for the business aspect. Low and behold here I am.

However im here to strengthen my passion which Ive always had but never really had the dough to actually engage. But now its a different story. Im equiped with the power now I need the wisdom (starting to sound like a F****ing star wars) So much to learn and so little time to learn it in. But hopefully we can shed some light. And your right mmadden28 this is what I should have done from the start, Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Being Polksterized again I must say the community looks bright and promising in light of the past.

Thanks and nice to meet you all

Now lets every one sing.....you know "Cumbaya" (lol nevermind)

Hasta

    Who said you have to be married to have kids?
    Besides, he didn't say anything about this being is first marriage (or should I say that the kids are from this marriage).

    16 maybe, but the inference was that he married and had a kid when his wife was 3 years old. :eek:
