Welcome to you both!! I rarely read this thread, I forget about it. It's so nice to get a glimpse into the life behind the names. You will find that so many here have a wealth of information to offer (not me, lol, I just add my 2cents worth on occasion).
Darbie-Darec, it's nice to see some younger, more inexperienced ones on here besides me! Not really younger, but the inexperienced part.... (I'm 36).
Liz, you and I have similiar careers. I am in Law Enforcement and handle sex crimes (adults & children) and child abuse cases. Loads of fun, huh?!! As we speak, I am off today and I am being called out on something, ugh...
I'm half joking, I do enjoy the job but it does tend to jade you after awhile. I'm a moderate conservative, too (if there is such a thing) and I know this job is to blame!! I am also an animal lover, the mommy of two 13yr. old set-in-their-ways pain in the A$#%$ that I couldn't live without. Again, welcome!
