Howdy all. I've been over in Trivia for quite a while, but have been an avid eavesdropper of the Forums and thought it time to join in the fun.

Have another G'day while you're at it! Now, should I warn all my fellow Ozzies here not to send you any Vegemite? Ol' robboy here thinks it should be classified as hazardous waste. Hehe....let the games begin.

Thanks very much--nothing like a howdy back in a new place. Guess I was supposed to post all that drivel about hobbies and interests, but at my age the list is long and everyone would be asleep by then. I'm as likely to enjoy the mechanics of a turbo-prop engine as I would the mystery of Jack the Ripper, and from what I've seen, there are many similarly inclined. I reckon I'll enjoy this.

Peach State? Would that be Georgia? I had a very pleasant holiday there a few years ago.

Welcome to the forums.

Hello, Robboy. Are you a joiner or a lumberjack? Humid greetings from another part of the [mostly] sunny southland.

That would indeed be Georgia, appreciated for much more than peaches, or peanuts, although they both have been known to sustain me nicely. And I do a bit of personal joinery, but mostly prefer a home remodel or addition to put the meat on the table. I've plied my trade all over the country, but the south always has drawn me with its unique and gracious magnetism. I'll be here for the duration, as they say.

Well I certainly have to say the staff at the hotel in which I stayed in Atlanta were very kind and friendly. The day I was leaving the chef came out from the kitchen to say goodbye! Perhaps they were all bemused by this strange English woman who asked for milk each evening in order to make tea in my room!

Hi Robboy, any wood butcher (whatever that is) is a friend of mine.
