Hi everyone...
My name is Chris, 32, purveyor of new and secondhand books from a little shop (honestly - a real shop with bricks and everything - they still exist!). Not much more to say really... life seems to consist of work and sleeping :-P |

Hi Chris and Cazzie!
Welcome! Books are great! Some of us here work in the publishing industry, just like some of us here live in NYC. Hubby a regular performer in the local club circuit?

Hey all you new folks! Glad you finally found us! Let me or any other staffer know if you need help! That's what we're here for!
You. I took great pleasure in banning you a few minutes ago once I got my final confirmation that you're the creepy douchebag stalker I thought you were.

that's great.. welcome!
just a word about color changing your text, it's generally frowned upon because you don't know what style someone else is using and probably it's not going to be readable and when something isn't readable, they skip it. BUT you happened to pick the one color that staff uses because everyone can read it no matter the theme. Please don't use that one at all. but other than that, welcome!

Hello, the_harrow, Honorius, and G~Man.
Come in, get your feet wet, and don't be afraid to ask questions if they should arise.

Hello and honorifics to all the onboard new ones.
I look forward to gleaning a bit more of your perspectives in the forums.

Hello all. I'm writing this from Maryland, where I am attending classes to upgrade my mariner status. I'm 41 years old. No wife, no kids, no home and a handful of friends scattered about the US. I work 4 months onboard/2 months off. I'm considering planting some roots in Seattle or the Bay area at the end of the year.

Working onboard the M.S. "pride of Aloha" in Hawaii, I got to surf the net daily, though it was via a prepaid card and quite expensive. My daily status updates to my family and friends still get written at sea, they're just not posted daily. I keep everything on a memory stick and ready to post as one big update when possible. __________________ "It was the law of the sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline.
