New forum so let's so a new thread where you can introduce yourself to the rest of the DU community.
My name is LynneSin, my nickname is based on my RL nickname since my RL name is Lynne and my last name starts with SIN and about 82 more letters after that. The quote my friend would use about me is "Her name is Lynne and it rhymes with Sin".
I was born and raised in Central Pennsylvania near Harrisburg, went to Lebanon Valley College (about once a week I remove Gov Tom Corbett's name from the list of famous LVC alumni on the LVC Wiki site) and after college I moved to Bucks County, outside of Philadelphia. After living in that region for 12 years I then moved to Delaware where I not only live and work today but even bought a house here. I have no plans on moving back to PA.
I love rock music. After seeing Shaun Cassidy in concert, my older brother made me listen to rock music - his collection of 8 tracks including Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Yes, an Aerosmith and several Rush. After that I was hooked. I'm happy to say that my 2nd concert was David Bowie.
I am a very fussy eater. I have a very sensitive nose and palate so extreme flavors and textures bother me. My beer of choice are very hoppy flavor pale ales (nothing with a fruit flavor), top shelf Tequila (Herradura) and spicy red wines from South Africa and Argentina.
I have a wry sense of humor and sometimes rely too much on sarcasm. I think that's how I sometimes annoy people.
I am single. I had been in one long term relationship but ultimately we realized we didn't want to get married.
I love cats, I have 2. I have a boy name Abbott who 9 years ago I found outside a dumpster. My girl Evita was adopted 6 months later - she is the reincarnation of pure evil in a fluffy grey cat. Abbott is a cuddly boy cat who loves to lick his empty ballsacks.
My favorite teams are anything from Philadelphia and the Cincinnatie Reds, a team I have loved since I was 8 years old. I once lost a bet to WillPitt and was to come to a DU gathering wearing a Bunny Suit and bringing a bottle of Tequila. I did send the Tequila to Will but haven't really had a chance to do the bunny suit thing.
I use to organize DU gatherings with some of my best including the October 2002, the RNC Convention Protest and the one at the Obama Inaurguration. But I'm retired from that - it was alot of work and stress.
I am one of the few DUers who can say that a US Vice President has stood on my porch. One of the perks living in Delaware and somewhere I did show the photos.
I make it my mission in life to never pay tolls. I'm from Delaware now and we know how to get where we're going to without paying a toll. Tolls are for out-of-staters who come to Delaware for our Tax Free shopping.
I've been a member of DU since April 2001 and I always like to meet new DUers.
