Someone on the Lap Band forum just did this and it generated alot of cool shares. Why don't you go for it?! Me first.

I am a Canuck from Nova Scotia and have lived in CT for almost 20 years now!

I have two wonderful boys. Oldest is 11 and has Asperger's. Youngest is 8 and I adopted him from Guatemala 6 years ago after waiting for him for 2.5 years. The are the light of my life and I could sleep for a year dealing with them sometimes!

I did the Canadian prerequisite back packing trip in Europe. What a cool adventure.

I am gay, divorced for 4 years and working on getting hot and dating again with my new band buddy to help me get there!

I came close to killing a woman who stood over my cart yesterday at Stop N Shop and counted my items ( I had 14)... this while I was bundled in a down jacket, sick with some damned virus yet starving and needing food. She will never know how close she came to an ER visit.

I am a nurse therapist and work with young adults 18 to 25 in the North end of Hartford. Tough damned kids who I love alot.

I am addicted to all things C- cake, cookies crumbly foods ice cream high fat high carb no nutritional value. Since my lap band I have switched addictions to decaf tea.

I started riding bikes a few years ago and have raised over 8,000 for leukemia and lung disease. I have ridden one century ride with Leukemia Lymphoma team in Training  and two 160 mile rides with the Mass Lung Association. I do it in honour of my dad who died a couple years ago of COPD and my friend Michele, who is a 10 year survivor of leukemia.

I love reading fan fic on the computer.

I have a house of rescues... all of us are adopted.. even the two cats and my dog! Family gets born in the heart as well as the womb!

Hey Inked!  Did you know Carol King?  She sings in the Tulsa women's  chorus, Sisters in Song, that I was in before I moved to NY last year.  She used to sing in the Rainbow Women's chorus, and talked about it all the time!

Sorry, I don't know her- I've only been with them a few years. Women's chorus is so much fun, I'm not surprised she talked about it all the time!

Okay,

My name is Chuck. I'm a navite Texan.

I have a partner of 6 years named Stan:



I'm a leo.  I like video games (World of Warcraft, Gears of War, Aion, etc...)  I am a huge Texas Hold'em fan. I watch it on TV all the time and I play online quite a bit.

I have no children, pets, or plants as anything that requires me to sustain it's life is surely doomed.

Heya Chuck!  Nice to see another gamer on here!  Took me years to kick the WoW habit...mostly switched to XBox 360 stuff, since I can't afford to upgrade my PC since my surgery.
