Hi Bountiful. You're a lovely city in real life, and I've lurked around the discussion board too and like it.
I'm the same Janey from nauvoo. I've been there a couple years. To summarize my entire life in a couple sentences: I live on the Wasatch Front, teach Gospel Doctrine, have been married for just about two years, and have a one-year-old boy. I'm a SAHM, which is mostly fun, but some days boring. I used to be a lawyer, which was mostly fun, but some days boring. Overall, I like SAHMing better than lawyering, except the lawyer wardrobe was a lot more fun to shop for than the SAHM wardrobe.
I like books, clothes I can mail order from catalogs, and friends who tell stories about their kids. I don't like making side dishes for potluck dinners, babysitting other peoples' kids for longer than a couple hours, and whiney people. (Out of fairness, I don't like myself when I whine either, which happens more often than it should.)
Right now I am re-reading a bunch of my favorite young adult novels, because they are more cheerful than adult novels. I like happy endings.

And having observed Janey for a while now... I must say she has a tendency to cut through a lot of crap... which makes me very, very nervous... cuz well... I'm like the Crapinator... :)
Welcome Janey!! Please feel free to slap me around as much as you like... Arbi shouldn't be the only one to do so!!

Yeah, Ray, I'm pretty sure "The Crapinator" was Arbi's second choice for your title.

Another lawyer and another woman in one package!!! Argh!!!!!!!!!! The estrofest continues. Soon they'll be no more horseriding in the saloon and firing of guns, mark my words.
The De-Crapinator? Sheesh. Couldn't I get a nickname that has something to do with flowers instead?
As for guns, the conversation with my DH once went like this: Me: What kind of gun is that? DH: That's my muzzle loader. Me: I thought you got a muzzle loader for Christmas from your dad. That's not it. DH: No, this is my vintage muzzle loader. The one dad got me is more modern. Me: And you're taking both of them on the hunt? DH: Of course. Me: Don't kill anything. I don't want to deal with blood.
Welcome Janey BTW! Didn't you say you dislike whining? Wasn't Jason just whining a few posts ago about having a woman and a lawyer to boot on Bountiful or was that just me?
Since she and others don't have avatars, I think we should make it a board suggestion to suggest avatars for some of these folks... Now... what kind of Avatar would Janey need... hmmm...

Yeah, and when that guy licked her FACE??!?!?!?! Talk about self-control!!! She kicked hiney in that movie.
Bad memory, though... after that movie I had some whack calling me on the phone saying, "Are you Sarah Conner?" in the Schwarzenegger voice... whatever.
Welcome, Janey! Feel free to stir things up! (I got yer back on polygamy. )

Yea! Janey! The one I sorta, kinda, in-a-way know. One smart chick who will knock some sense into a lot of people here (myself included). Happy avatar hunting.
