Ok, I'm not usually the type to start threads (I think this might be my first self-started thread here, actually!), but I've been umming and arring about starting one around here in the hope of getting to know the blokes and sheilas around here (bloke = man, sheila = woman) a little better.
It took me a whole week to come up with a title, and I even had the kind folks in the Singles folder on the task!
The last minute brainwave however saved the day. 
I'd just like to say g'day to everyone here.
As for today, church was great. There really is something birthing in our church atm. Had some great chill time with church friends at a local Thai restaurant after church. The food was GOOOOD! Best Thai I've tasted, actually. And good conversation.
I have no set purpose with this thread (though as I've said, I'd like to get to know some of you a little better). You can, however, expect me to post the occasional set of lyrics in here just to see how people react (Mods: don't worry, nothing dodgy, and nothing with existing copyright. Unlike most I have actually READ the TOS!!!)

Hey Cammo! Nice to see the thread....
I guess you should tell us what things you would like to know about us, and I'm sure we'll be happy to oblige.

LOL - gotta love brain freezes!
Maybe we should tell a little about ourselves, for those who don't know from the Singles forum....
I'm 45, never been married and live in Florida with my elderly parents who are 85. I moved back home from NYC to be with them almost a year ago. A month after getting home, mom had a mild stroke. She's recovering nicely, but is now beginning to have dementia set in. My father takes care of mom and now my brother. I'm the only one who works.
There are lots of other things in my life, but that's a start.......

Yeah, thankfully it doesn't get so cold here in Sydney. We don't get snow - in fact, you have to drive a whole 7 hours before you even SEE the stuff in winter! Parts of the Blue Mountains get occasional snow (they're just west of Sydney. Definite proposal material). There's a very good reason they're World Heritage listed...

Hey Cammo! You finally got the place up and running! Cool!
Blue Mountains? Been there. No snow at the time though, but it was jolly cold!

That's awesome that your family have offered to take you on holiday with them. Any ideas where you'll be going?

I suppose I should do the introduction thing too, even though we've already talked in the past. It's written in my blog too, but I won't make you read it unless you want to.
I'm 37, single, not working or studying due to health problems.

Trishy - you're funny about the Apple Store. I'm actually like that with B&H Photo - kid in a candy store. And I thought men were the ones who were supposed to be all excited about such techy things.....
It's 4am my time - I slept so much this weekend that I'm wide awake right now. As you say, Oy.....

Full of men, I'm sure, right? That's funny. Glad you got your stuff - aren't new toys fun? I'm getting teased about my new one.....he keeps asking if I've had time to play with it yet.

It was so crowded when I went there today that I had to say excuse me. Ha!
haha
Yes, I'm almost certainly getting a new computer for my 21st (which is coming up in a matter of weeks). None too soon I might add. This one's waaay behind
(Read: 1.5GHz, 256MB SDRAM, GeForce FX 5200, with a 40GB HDD that's half full. Can't remember the FSB speed).
But it ain't exactly a fast thing!
On the bright side, at least it has a CD burner.
I'm looking into a laptop, personally, though it'll almost certainly be a Windows computer (as much as I like the Macs, there aren't any Mac laptops at a decent price with a decent video card). They're hard to come by even in Windows laptops (most of them use the Intel stuff, which ain't as good).

Cammo - that sounds great! And don't feel bad - my system at home is worse than yours. I had less than 20GB on my hard drive and that was on 2 drives. I had to buy a 160GB external to store my photos, as they take up a ton of room (I shoot large files for my professional stuff).
Let us know what you get........
