Not new here, but been a really long time

Hey guys, there is probably only one of you that will remember who I am. It's been a long time since I've been on this forum. I decided to go back to college, so with 3 kids, my time to "play" on the forum has been sorely limited.

My main interests are nepenthes, butterworts, fly traps, and sarracenia. I have a small collection of each.

It's nice to be back!
 
damn when life gets in the way of a good time huh? :)

Welcome back, your home now. :D
 
LOL! It's the timing. It's as bad a my luck in discovering a really appealing trading post offering. I could easily be the 11th person responding to a 10 person pack of seeds!
 
I remember you, too. Every time I read your forum name, I'd think of a danged camel...still do!
It's been quite a while, but welcome back!
 
I remember as well! Congratulations on continuing your education; even without kids, that's no small feat. From the sound of it, they're still at home? I think you'll probably need plants just for the cool-down time. You might also try Sea-Monkeys. :D

LOL, when I read that at first I thought it said damaged camel, and I was trying to figure out, damaged in what way?

LOL, I tried Sea Monkeys and they wouldn't hatch. I used to paint but then my baby came along and I have no spare time to paint. I geocache as well when I can. And I love to play games on the Internet.

I am 31 and my kids are 10 (almost 11), 8, and 3. Things will be so much easier when the little one gets in school, because right now child care is a big pain in the butt and wallet.

I failed my first class. Up until now I have had all A's and B's but I made a D so I will have to retake Anatomy and Physiology of the Hearing Mechanism. I am going to try to be a psychologist and so I need to keep my grades up to get into their doctorate program, a D will not do.

I quit my job as a medical transcriptionist to go back to school, but still needed money for gas and lunch, etc. so I opened an ebay store and started selling divisions and rootings of my plants. What started as a part time thing has turned into full time, and I now spend most of the day either taking care of plants, packing them, sending invoices, or answering questions from potential buyers. I started out on ebay because that seemed simplier, but as it has grown I am thinking of opening my own internet store. I just haven't gotten around to it yet so I'm still on ebay. I got a business license and even an import permit so I can buy from just about anywere now. It's fun! Even though it has turned into a "real" job, it is still something that I love to do, so I am enjoying it.
