Besides, who else but you would have that many Mountain Dew cans?
cnghr - You gotta watch some of these guys. They will try to pull one over on you. Welcome to the forum.
I LOVE the Mtn Dew tree...I have a major Diet Coke habit myself, so I may have to start saving up the cans this year and do the same thing with those.
He's actually a very nice, respectful, and generous Forum boss. Just don't make fun of his red and green plaid pants and purple shoes. He doesn't take kindly to that.
Okay, I've been lurking on this forum for a little while before jumping in here and I've assumed the name was pronounced "Jo-Annie" so I'm going to go with that (I also looked at her profile, and I don't think the pronounciation "Jo-Nee" fits the name listed). As for male or female, again, after lurking for a while I've got to assume female. Of course, I've seen the movies "The Crying Game" and "Mrs. Doubtfire" so I understand that assumption could be completely wrong!
Did I pass the initiation?
We will be forced to make assumptions about his/her gender, since his/her profile is not activated. That could be fun too.
If you call me Pat it will just confuse me; I normally use at least some part of my real name when I do these kinds of boards so even answering to cnghr is weird.
Here's a few clues to my gender:
I love fashion and makeup.
I change my hair color, length and style on a regular basis.
I collect handbags and shoes.
(No, I am NOT RuPaul!)
Normally I am not easily confused (see my "Pat" comment above) but I'm currently a bit hormonal and that should be the biggest giveaway of all, since I've never heard a GUY confess to being hormonal!
As you may have noticed, a couple of us aren't very politically correct.
I would guess Cindy, Cathy, or Carolyn. Good midlife names.
And that was not an attempt to be tacky or insulting; it was a screwball compliment!
People who've never visited the Phoenix area think I live amid cactus and tumbleweed, dodging bullets from the daily wild west shootouts. I did have to pull over once because I was stuck in a tumbleweed storm but that was like a whole decade ago.

Are we warm yet?
I'm not from either place, although the Oregon Coast and San Francisco are two of my very favorite places to vacation. I am in Alaska, and in my area we have lots of bears and eagles and salmon, oh my! But no polar bears, igloos, glaciers, or any of the other sterotypical Alaskan things.
I had already guessed at the not-very-politically-correct part, and I should fit right in.
Wow, Allsteaks, you're good...one of the names you mentioned is a nickname for my name (although I don't personally use it).
And no, I didn't find the "midlife" comment tacky or insulting, I've finally decided to gracefully acknowledge the fact that I am a few years past what's technically considered midlife...unless of course I live to be 104 years old, in which case I'm just hitting middle age.
I think I'm gonna like it here!
So, is it Cynthia?, you must be about 52. Just a slight bit older than Joannie and a little younger than the superannuated Steaks and me.
Welcome aboard.....Feel free to make fun of Paul. He is from California and lives in Oregon. That tells you all you need to know about him.
You know I don't believe we have a "Cat" on the forum , so how about even if her name is Cynthia, we call her Cat? Based on her (sorry to keep talking about you instead of to you Cat) location she'll soon be experiencing cabinfever and will feel like a caged cat!! The forum can be one of her outlets like the rest of us. Or it could be a primary form of entertainment like it is for Paul.
Coochie, coochie, coochie!
There, that should get you to tell us your real name. x:D
I like Charro because it is the name most likely to inspire Ms. C to tell us her real name. Or at least activate her profile so we can stop bugging her.
Maybe Paul will figure out what CNG stands for. I'm still amazed that he found out HRQ stands for Hay River Quilters.
I could've lived with being called Charro if somebody could grant me half her energy....she's in her 60's and last time I saw her on t.v. she was still moving like she used to.
I could actually live with being called Cat also (not because of the whole cabin fever/caged cat thing. In this part of Alaska we're not very susceptible to cabin fever, particularly those of us born and raised here. We don't get enough snow to get snowed in, although we do get a LOT of rain but we get that year-round and if we let that stop us from doing things we'd never do anything. We are also far enough south that we don't have the stereotypical super-short Alaskan days like they do up north). I just think Cat is a kind of cute nickname, even though it has nothing at all to do with my name.
If Paul can figure out what cng stands for, he's pretty darned good.
