Hey NW! I'm in a homeschool band. This'll be my last year in band though. (Kinda sad about that, as I've grown up with the band members. ) But I'm enjoying the year so far!
I nice to see you back on! Yeah, I didn't think I would be this involved either, but I guess one of the biggest reasons why I am is because the dreaded 'life' hasn't taken me away yet. Summers especially are really slow for me, so I been on a lot.
Of course you're not a creep. I was in the U.S. Navy, till I retired six years ago. In the Navy I was a Russian linguist. For several years after that, I had online work as a civilian language translator, but then I got laid off. Now I get by on my military pension, and write novels and poems.
I can't find any button or link in the Rat Pack page that would let me initiate your joining. There must be something visible to a NON-member that lets you request membership.
