i've been here on the list for almost a year now, guess that makes me an 'oldtimer', huh? i'm nowhere near the creed expert that some of the other long-time members are, but i've learned a lot, and have been known to answer folk's questions correctly from time to time...as far as personal stuff goes, i'm married, two kids, and i'm a critical care nurse in cleveland ohio...i love gardening, i've only had my house for two years, so i'm still learning alot about plants and so forth...love to read, stephen king is my ultimate fave, but i'm also heavy into sci fi (i like piers anthony too...debbi and tara, ahve you read 'if i pay not in gold' that he wrote with mercedes lackey?) and fantasy...and i don't read anywhere near as much as i used to, since i seem to spend the bulk of my free time here online, searching new bands, and streetteaming for others...music wise? well, do you all really want the list?LOL...creed, of course, and all of the other great windup bands, like finger 11, boy hits car, drowning pool, american pearl, dust for life...as well as u2, zeppelin, hendrix...econoline crush, 3dd, disturbed, incubus, virgos, upo, 8stops7, days of the new, tantric, saliva, shrank!, fuel, staind...believe me, i could go on and on...but i don't want to go over the line limit, so i'll stop here...
