I am Janice. I was born and raised here in east central Illinois. I am finishing up the semester at the local community college. I am majoring in zoology.I have 6 cats and 2 dogs. I loved this show and have watched it since the very first episode....Sawyer, Gracie, Auntie, Cutefamily, Jeannie, Tapanna all rock!! :)

[Laura]

I'm Laura. I'm a waitress at the JuryBox Cafe, in Pasco, WA. I'm of short stature, I'm 4'11 1/2" I have encountered what most LP go through. I'm basically through raising my family of 3 daughters. They are now 30, 27, and a soon to be 24 year old. The 2 oldest are taller than me. My 30 year old is 5' 4", 27 year old is 5' 2". My youngest is 4' 10". Even though they are out on their own, they keep migrating back for advice and for me to watch my grandkids. I've enjoyed watching Little People, Big World since the beginning. I'm able to identify with some of their encounters in life. I don't feel like I and my daughter the only one's who's a LP now. Makes my life feel pretty good now. :D

[Baxter7]

Hi - my name is Julie, I have two boys one 19 and away at University and one 16 in Grade 11. My husband and I live in a small town in southern British Columbia. I work out of our home and love the job.

[BrooklynBabe]

I live in brooklyn, new york and I'm in highschool. My role model is my older sister who is a freak-nerd (tattooed, pierced, died hair girl who has been on the deans list all throughout all her college years lol!!). She even took me to dye my hair over the summer (you can see my picture below). My sister actually started me on watchin the show. She watched it from the begining, but when there was a marathon during the first season, me her and my mom sat on our couch watching the whole thing. We only got up to eat junk food! It was so much fun. Now we still watch every episode together, only over the phone since she lives in Staten Island.

[Right Stuff Roloffs]

Hi all! My name is Amy, I'm 32, live in De Forest, WI and work as a pharmaceutical scientist testing drugs!!!! :o I have 2 daughters (ages 4 and 1), husband of almost 8 years (in May) and a westie named Ziggy. In my spare time I love to spend it all with my family camping, playing outside, reading, you name it....but when everyone is sleeping (except my husband who stays up later than I do) I crossstitch, read, read forums and quilt. Loved the family Roloff since the beginning, and if they weren't on t.v. anymore it'd seem like I lost my extended family!!! Look forward to seeing what they have in store for us this season!

[Right Stuff Roloffs]

p.s. Nice to meet everyone!

[Lisa]

I'm Lisa, I'm 24 and I live in Tennessee with my husband Mark and our 9 month old daughter, Emma.

Nice to meet everyone!

[bballnumbers]

My name is Sharon. I love the idea of getting to know the posters on this sight. I am feeling like you are becoming extended family-complete with the ribbing that goes on. I have five children, two grandsons, a husband of 25 years and lots of friends. My children are 24, 22, 21, 17, and 12. My youngest was born with hidden disablities--heart defects. That makes explaining to people why she is different. My two grandsons are 5 and 3. I have a son in the Navy, one who cooks for a retirement center, a sophomore in high school-at 6'4" he is the current basketball player. I enjoy scrapbooking and cooking. I am a teacher in a small parochial school, Kindergarten and first grade--six students this year. I also like writing about my family. Hello to all the Roloff fans!! I am also hoping to get to Hillsboro this October, provided I can fight through the traffic snarls. Looked like Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon.

[purplebunny]

Hi Everyone
I am 38 years old and live in Nevada! I have 4 children ages; 23,20,15,13 and 2 grandchildren ages;3, 2 months.
I have a wonderful husband and a great job at the State Department of Education. I love to go to the movies, take cruises with my friends and family and I bowl on a league.
I also love watching the Roloff's. Zach is my favorite. I think he is soooo adorable. He really reminds me of my own son. They have the same personality some times.
The whole family is wonderful and I would LOVE to meet them all some day.
Good to meet all of you and I will be checking in often.
God Bless :D

My family and I have been watching TLC's Little People Big World now for quite a while now and enjoy seeing the kids grow and the family love shared. What an inspiration you all are to us. Very brave of you to allow TV cameras tape your almost every move. I love the fact that my kids can watch your show learn about little people, and see God's plan unfold in your lifes. Through think and thin you hold onto your faith and I am so glad that it is being shown on TV.

Thank you for sharing your life with the world

[Sweetviolet_02]

Hi, My name is Violet, I have been married for 2 1/2 years going on 3 in October. My husband and I live in Centeral Michigan, but are going to be moving to TN. with in the next year. We love to be outdoors, mud bogging, four wheeling, and camping and fishing. I am currently working on my Medical Assistant degree. I LOVE IT!!! It's hard work, but it will be well worth it in the long run. Anyways, I don't have a whole lot of time for Television being a Medical student, but I always make sure to watch LPBW!!! If for some reason I am not home to watch it, you can bet that my DVR (Greatest invention so far!!) is set to record it!!! But, I guess I should be getting my homeowrk done now, so I hope to get to know all about everyone else soon. God Bless, Violet K.

[Zagen]

Hi everyone,

My name is Maggy and I live in Northern Illinois. I am originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania. I am 35 and married with a wonderful husband and an 11 year old son. I've been a social worker for more years than I care to remember! I've loved this show ever since the very first episode. As a rule, I'm not a fan of most reality shows, but I sure do enjoy seeing a family on TV that isn't dysfunctional, aren't a bunch of drunks or drug addicts, or constantly on the edge of divorcing, or just scream and shout at each other all the time :shock: . I'm so glad to have found this site to enjoy.

Maggy :D

[cutefamily]

WELCOME Maggy- hope to see you posting more! Your life sounds busy!!

[Little Ren]

My name is Renee, Ren for short. I'm less than four ft. ten, I think it's somewhere around four ft. nine and a half or something. I'm from southern Arkansas, I love the Roloff's show and they've really helped me alot and have been an inspiration to me. My hobbies are photography, rebuilding and restoring old camaros, poetry, gardening and hiking and camping and alot of other things. I have two children, daughters age 28 and 27, four grandsons and one three pound pomeranian named Fancy. My husband is a diesel mechanic and I work in retail. It's so nice to be here, thanks for having me.

[bballnumbers]

This is a great place to learn about the people who enjoy the same things. Hello to all the new people. Since this sight has been available there have been almost 350 people added. Amazing!!!! Have a great day! :lol:

[KimRenee2]

I love the Roloff's show and they've really helped me alot and have been an inspiration to me.

Hi Renee and all,
I'm Renee too. Little Ren, you summed that up very well, the Roloff's are an *inspiration* to all. My brother is disabled with MS and we've gotten him hooked on LPBW because the entire family are icons for the words 'succeeding' and 'overcoming' 'regardless'. Montel did not inspire my brother to get out of the house independantly... the 'real' trials and issues of the Roloffs did. His 3 kids watch the show and they are now being more understanding toward different people in difficult situations.
Yes, this family inspires many.

Anyway, back to my introduction. I'm a wife of a security supervisor and charter fisherman, Mom of 3 (20, 16 & 14), daughter, friend & Christian. I'm in rural Michigan, finishing my degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology - specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome so that I may have the *honor* of helping our Veterans and those in the Armed Forces. I spend most of my time with my family, studying, being taxi-mom, going to church and volunteering at our local VA Hospital.

Too many pets to name off, but being born a southerner, I do get called ElleMae a Lot ! Lol. So, add feeding the critters to my 'to do' list.

I don't have the time to sit and watch tv that much, just for unwinding purposes, but when I do sit down I make *sure* that it's a positive program... and I've absolutely fallen in love with the Roloff family and I appreciate the positive influence they are in inspiring people to dream, see it through, go and do.

I'm also thankful for this forum (friendly people) and working in the field that I do, I will be extremely gun-shy to any negative poster... considering the source with nothing but sympathy. Life's too short not to love & laugh. My 'morning coffee' is drank while sitting in front of the laptop, then.... let the day begin... my engine's are started.

So... Good Morning to you all and 'thank you' Matt, Amy, Jacob, Zach, Molly, Jeremy & Mike. You've made the world a *much* nicer place.
And 'thank you' positive posters for being supportive of such an important spice of life.

[Kd0871]

Hi, my name is Kendall. I live in Granite Falls, WA, about 4-5 hours away from the Roloff Farm. I have a 14 year old girl and a 15 year old boy who haven't wanted to get a pumpkin in years and now suddenly feel the need to get one out of state. We'll see.

[CBamazing41]

Hi, my name is Caroline, and I live on the East Coast. I love the Roloff family! LPBW is definatley one of my favorite shows!

[Johnno]

Greetings from the UK, looks like I'm the only "Limey" here at the moment 8) .
My name is Steve Johnson but everyone even my Wife calls me "Johnno". I am in my 40s, married with 2 Daughters (how blessed I am, a Houseful of PMS :D ) and am a professional Health & Safety Manager for a large Distribution Company up here in the NW of England (not far from Manchester, Liverpool & Chester).
I stumbled upon Matt, Amy & the Kids because UK TV is grim so I am what we call a Discovery Channel Anorak (I think you call us cable Geeks :lol: ), which is where I happened to catch the show one evening.
We love the show & hope it runs for many seasons.

It's nice to see that Football or Soccer as you call it has finally started to catch on in the Colonies 8) cor blimey Guvner you'll be playing Cricket next... :lol:

<edit> I forgot to mention my hobbies...well besides watcing Cable I used to do a bit of Motorcycling before my bad Knee & Shoulder started acting up & I used to love Pistol shooting before our Nanny State decided that it was too dangerous for ordinary Folks to own Firearms :x . I'm not a big Sports Fan except for Rugby League (similar to your American Football but without the Helmets & the Razzamatazz) and tend to spend a lot of time tinkering with PCs.

Keep safe Guys..

[Lady H]

Hi
I'm known as Lady H and live way down here in New Orleans, Louisiana. I'm an elderly lady, all of 67 years old, married to a great guy for 47 years, two grown children and two fantastic grandsons. I was in hospital administration for many years and have seen many patients who struggle to deal with adversity.
The Roloffs are only the second show/family that I have ever watched devotedly, the other show is the Crocodile Hunter Diaries show. You may not see this but the Roloff family and the Steve Irwin family have much in common. They always put family first.
Enough from me now! Glad to be here!

I am married to the same great guy for almost 34 years. We have 3 grown sons but no grandchildren to spoil. I don't work anymore.
I am mom to a little grey Netherland dwarf bunny named Emme.
Hi to my buddies here Mattlover87, 4impeachment and Sawyer!!

I have watched the LPBW since the later part of the first season. I love it and never miss it. I have watched some the episodes so many times that I feel like I can almost say the dialog.

[4IMPEACHMENT]

Hi Jeanne, nice to meet you. :wink: Did Emme enjoy Easter?

[mitymoos]

Hey,

I am 4'11", 31 years old. I am not a dwarf, just short. At first when I was younger it was hard, but I learned to adapted. I feel blessed to be who I am. I love being short. My husband is 6'0". As I grew older, I learned to love my height. Now a days, some people call me lit bit or mini me. It doesn't bother me. They are not trying to hurt me. They are my friends. I enjoy it, it makes me "me". I guess if someone meant it to be mean, I would probably be hurt at first, but that is thier problem (not mine). I think everyone is special and unique. That is what makes life great and fun. :) ;)

[concordcowgirl]

Hi, I am Cheryl, 52 years old, I am a home health worker, I live in south central Michigan, married for almost 10 years to my husband,(he is a truck driver) I have 3 grown kids, 4 grandkids and 5 cats.
Happy Birthday to those of you that are having them this month, (I am not having anymore, I am old enough).
I am also a neopet addict so I will be spending my time split between here and there, Rolloff's website/message board is the only thing that has got me away from that one, so it must be good.

Great to meet all of you.

[Right Stuff Roloffs]

Great to meet you, too, concordcowgirl!!!!!!

[StacieC]

Hi all- It's great to see such a positive forum! I'm Stacie from the Bay Area, CA. I'm 36 and work as a Courtroom Clerk. This show is not only a great inspiration, but also just such fun to watch! My best to you all...

[countryacreage]

Really enjoy every episode I have ever seen with the Roloff family. Get a special kick out of Amys dealings with Matt- so typically male vs female- I flip thru about 200 stations via the satellite every evening and when the Roloffs appear- it is time to stop clicking., kick back and remember some similar situations with my own 4 kids who are now grown and gone. Enjoy all the farm projects. thank you for amusing me...- countryacreage@yahoo.com

[bballnumbers]

I just checked, since Matt started this sight, if it was really Matt and not one of his side kicks, there have been almost 400 people register. To me that is an amazing number. Just shows that things related to wholesome family living is important.

I feel like I have missed out on lots of stuff because I never was on the TLC sight. You guys trying to figure out who is who like old friends. Man--Just want you all to know I really enjoy your banter back and forth.

I would like your opinions on keeping one segment for the Roloffs to just answer questions so they don't have to read through all the comments we make.---Just a question.

[Spirit]

Hi, my name is Patti - originally from NY, but moved to TN. nine years ago. Love this state - so clean and beautiful! I love the Roloff's show and never miss it - it's so refreshing to see something on TV that is positive instead of all that is going on today. Hope to get to know some of you and to talk in the future.

This is not a bad idea.. I'm still not sure we would be able to answer all the questions but it might make it easier to answer a few.

Matt

[cutefamily]

hi Matt :D Glad to see you are browsing the posts and seeing most of them are productive :D

[killene]

Wow Matt thats a fantastic idea....I think it would be kewl to hear from you guys on some of the questions.
I mean if you look at the posts it looks like your mom has been doing an excellent job of keeping up with a lot of the questions, so I bet she would be glad to help out.
I think the question alot have on their mind right now is if there is going to be any other book signings. If so most of us would like to know a bit about that schedule.

[poweRNurse]

Matt

or perhaps you can ask US questions and WE can do all the work answering the questions..... oh wait....does that seem right?

:?



:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[bballnumbers]

Glad to see ONE of my ideas is considered a good idea. Someone tell my husband I had a good idea--about keeping one post just for questions the Roloffs could answer. Of course we would have to restrain ourselves from commenting.

[bballnumbers]

Ok, so now I have another idea about the questions post. Could we call it Q&A the Roloffs? Here are some possible rule suggestions:
1. Ask questions that they could answer.
2. Reply to those answers on a post labeled "We respond to the Q&A answers from the Roloffs. We could copy and paste any quotes or answers we are wanting to respond to. That leaves so much less for them to "have" to read.
Just a thought on how to make it easy for a very busy family who is so wonderful to let us have insight into their lives.

[BrooklynBabe]

That would be awesome!! :lol:

[quadskater]

Im a Jamskater, artist, and Knight Rider fan.......all in one person!

[bballnumbers]

What is a Jamskater?

[quadskater]

Jamskating is roller disco with a bit of breakdance flair. It's all done in quad skates, not rollerblades.

[Lady H]

Jamskating is roller disco with a bit of breakdance flair. It's all done in quad skates, not rollerblades.

Pardon me for being dense but how does that involve the Roloffs or the farm or the show?? Have I missed something?
oops! just got it! this is Meet and Greet and you are introducing yourself.
Glad to meet you quadskater

[4IMPEACHMENT]

Lady H, This is the meet and greet section. :roll: Love your skates quad, but they give me the shivers. I broke my arm roller skating. :shock:

[quadskater]

^^Thank you. I like them, too. It took me a long time to find the perfect setup. I had to go with a pretty light setup because I do a lot of moves on my hands with my feet in the air..like l-kicks, pikes...stuff like that. Heavy skates are harder to kick up in the air.....kind of like having concrete blocks on your feet. lol.

Sorry to hear you broke a bone rollerskating. :( I hope it didn't keep you from skating again.

[4IMPEACHMENT]

Kind of. I was ten and broke my arm on borrowed skates in October. For Christmas, my mom gave me roller skates. :shock: I was not expecting it since I had just gotten the cast off. My mom explained that she had bought them before I broke my arm.

I used them a few times and then gave them up. I got a skateboard for my birthday! I think my mom was out to get me. :lol:

[Right Stuff Roloffs]

I think my mom was out to get me. :lol:

That was funny! LOL!! At least your parents let you use a skateboard. My parents sheltered me so much, after one time of falling off a skateboard with no pads, they FORBID me to even look at one....let alone entertain the thought of getting one. To this day I still kind of would love to ride one again! :lol:

[4IMPEACHMENT]

The kids at my school are all into those Heelies. You know the sneakers with the wheels in the heels. They look like fun, but we have to confiscate the wheels when they wear them to school because they try to skate down the stairs. :shock:

[cody-gracie-ally]

Hi, I've got a new screen name. Can you guess who I am? :lol:

[BrooklynBabe]

awww... why you change your name?? I liked it because it had "peach" in it and the Roloff's used to have peaches :)

[kookie]

Hi,
My name is Margaret and I lived on a small island off the west coast of Scotland.
I am 44 years old and have been a paraplegic for 10 years after breaking my back in a car crash.
I own a guesthouse which my partner an I run.
I love to watch 'Little People Big World.
We are way behind on what is happening over here but I very pleased to see there is going to be another series of the show.

I saw a kid with those once skating down the aisles of a department store and I had to almost stare at him because I didn't know stuff like that existed (yeah, I kind of live in a closet!!!).....it was almost "futuristic" to me. And then I saw them all over. The one that really gets me is the automatic scooter......takes the scoot out of scooter. It's just an er because you don't have to do any "work". No wonder childhood obesity is on the rise!!! :lol:

[jeanne230]

Your new name is too cute :D with Jacob on it. I think you might be one of my good buddies from TLC and email. I like your name but who is Cody?

[EyesOnly]

Ni Hao, Aloha, Hola, Bonjour, Konichiwa, I'm EyesOnly. I joined out of curiosity more than anything else, I'm an admin of two different forums myself, and a website for a student run press called the Flip Side Press. Currently I'm a student at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and I'm studying creative writing. I enjoy writing obviously, I'm writing my first novel currently, but I also enjoy an extensive number of other things, like wood working, inventing, hiking, nature, and any number of other things that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Nice to meet you all.

[fireman1374]

I wanted to say hello to everyone, I do know many names here from the DC forums, but I have never posted there due to certain childish behaviour I observed over there. I have been looking around and everyone seems very respectful here and it looks like a great place to hang out, learn and read.
I enjoy the show very much, I see that there are many here that do as well, that sort of makes us all a family!

A little about me, I own many websites and forums. I am 31 years old and live on top of a mountain in the middle of New York with my own 639 acre farm. We have many adventures here with 3 children. Life isn't easy, but it sure is fun!

Matt, I think you do a wonderful job with everything you do, I really admire your determination and your unwillingness to cave in to those that try to put you down, you are a good man!

[mattlover87]

Gracie, you changed your name? Well at least you're more recognizable now. :)

[Old Medic]

I am a retired Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor; was a U.S. Army Medic from 1959-1969; and am married to a woman that helped get the Rehab Act of 73, plus California's laws for handicapped enacted.

I also happen to be a former Canadian, who lost his citizenship because I didn't know I had to register it. My fathers family has been in Canada for over 300 years, and we are also Métis.

Matt & Amy have a great thing going, they get to live the way they want, and all it costs them is their privacy.

[kiminhillsboro]

Coincidentally, I relocated to Hillsboro, OR last fall, and this is also homebase for the Roloff family. I work as a manager at an energy marketing company. I was born in Western New York, and have also lived in Atlanta, GA and Houston, TX. My daughter is 18, and my two sons are 17 and 15. I am a big fan of the show, and find the Roloff's to be such an inspiration. I never found the time to make it to the pumpkin patch last year - but am definitely going to go this coming October to support the Roloff family enterprise!

[Sweetie]

I am April
I have four beautiful children and a wonderful husband. We live in Missouri. I work in a residential home. I have my own giftbasket business. I love the show and the Roloff family.
We watch you all the time.
God Bless

[cody-gracie-ally]

Your new name is too cute :D with Jacob on it. I think you might be one of my good buddies from TLC and email. I like your name but who is Cody?

Well you know who gracie and ally are, my two perfect kitty cats that I just yelled at for trying to kill each other. :x Cody was my first perfect kitty who died a few years ago. My angel kitty. I always felt bad leaving him out so now he's in. :D

I like your new avatar Mattlover. Is that you or a model?

iHi All,
in L.A.. I was friend to a man named Mark Gash.he is an artist with a birth defect that made him small and under-developed in his lower body.he is in several movies including "To Live and Die in LA".he is also an artist(Painter).This is how he supports himself.
I can remember lifting him in an out of the bathtub,and the car.He was quite heavy!I used to fix things for him,as he wasn't able to do things for himself so well.I also remember his spirit,for that is one trait that people with disabilities must have.I am definately richer for the experience,and can highly recommend adopting such a person to care for.It will change you for the better!!!
Love to all....
Mike Mondo

[Steelguy]

I messed up and posted this somewhere else.

Heya Mattlover87 and Mrs Sawyer! 2 of my favorite gals :wink:

I'm a big fan of the show, and another canadian invader,lol. A friend of mine pointed the show out to me one night and i've been hooked ever since.

I was poster on another board (that shall remain nameless!) but got tired of the negativity. I shoulda bailed when u did Sawyer.

Thanks to mattlover87 for the invite to this board. I'm looking forward to some great discussions and the new episodes.

Roloffs Rock!

[seebert]

I'm Ted Seeber, from Beaverton, OR. I work for ODOT programming computers. My wife and I have one child, Christopher, age 3 (soon to be 4 in May). So that she can stay at home with Christopher, who has Cerebral Palsy and needs a bit of extra attention, she also runs "A Beary Loving Daycare" out of our house. We had been watching the show for some time, and last season we decided to do a field trip to get pumpkins and see the Roloff's farm. Got pictures with the kids on Matt's green mule- he had them get right up there with him and I kept the kids from jumping off while Shannon took the picture. Returned later for our real pumpkins- and got to talk for a while with Ron & Jeremy & Amy. And even rode on the tractor Zach was driving (tried to talk to him, but it was late in the day and he was eager to make one more run out to the ghost town to clear people out).

We're definately fans of the farm, and little Samantha last night even recognized Matt on TV (she's 2, was 1.5 years old when she sat next to Matt on his mule)

Hi Everyone!
I am so excited at the opportunity to join what seems to be a wonderful internet community and gathering place to share various thoughts, ideas and opinions about our favorite television family, the Roloff's.
As it has been said many times over, they have been a true inspiration and example to people throughout our vast nation and others worldwide. I believe that the opening statement of the show expresses with great depth the reality of life "one thing I wish people would understand about little people is we can pretty much do what everyone else does, but just in a different way". I believe this phrase serves as an inspiration messages to those facing any challenges, whether physical or emotional.

Ok....enough of my rambling.

My name is Levi. I live in Mesa, AZ and I am attending ASU where I am working towards a triple major of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Molecular Biology. I am hoping to attend medical school if I do not find something else first.
My wife and I just had our second child about 5 weeks ago and my 2 year old loves his brother a little too much. I am grateful to be a part of this community. It has been wonderful reading through everyones profile. Talk to everyone soon.

[Mrs.Sawyer]

[Meechy]

Greetings and Salutations

My name is Metryx but everyone calls me Meechy. I am 39 married for 8 month for the first time. Me and my wife have no kids but are working on building a family. I work in Technical Support for a cable company in the High speed Internet department.

My hobbies are animation, I write and develop animated characters and working on becoming an animator. Attended the Art Institute of Portland for two semesters, but took time off when I got married. I like creating real life super heroes and other characters. I am currently wanting to developing two new heroes, one is actually a young teen age mom and the other is a little person. At the moment I am doing research, but mainly I want my characters to deal with some social problems while being heros. And among others things I love going to church and hanging out with my friends playing video games or watching movies.

[KimRenee2]

Congratulations newlywed. :D

I scratched my head when you said you're working on building a family -and- you like creating real life super heroes and other characters.

Our 16 yr old daughter has "the truffle shuffle" t-shirt that she's worn almost to shreds. :lol:

[Steelguy]

Chunk!!! i'd forgotten that kid's name in that movie.

I pretty sure my mom still has a Beta copy of that movie somewhere in her house. The Beta machine is long gone though.

It was one of those movies that a kid could watch over and over again.

Hi All, I'm Beth from New Jersey. Married 18 years with 1 son 13 years old. We are all diehard Roloff fans!
Actually I had some serious Roloff withdrawals on April 9!! I booked a trip for the 9th figuring we would watch the new episode at the hotel that night and low & behold there was No TLC :shock: we had to wait a week to get home and watch the tape. :mrgreen:
I'm so glad Matt started this board! That "other" board is just too much.

[killene]

I just realized I never introduced myself to the board. Im Killene, a grannie of 7 grandkids and a substitute teacher. I just recently move to Northeast Oregon from Calif. following what I felt the Lord wanted me to do. Oregon is one of the greatest states around. Hey we got the Roloffs dont we :wink:

[bballnumbers]

Well, hello to all of you new people who just found this sight. It is a great place to chat and share with others who have the same interest in great television.

[laplee]

Hi everyone , have just discovered the show and this site. I live in western Australia in a town 1500 kilometres from nowhere. So if any of you friendly soles out there ever want to know anything about our great brown land am always ready for a chat. and I do have to say that the Roloff Family are the most inspirational people that I have seen. Only started watching two weeks ago and already am so hooked I cannot miss an episode. looking forward to meeting lots of new people here. :D

[cutefamily]

WELCOME laplee :D

[Gr8pApe]

welcome all!

[Ringoclan]

I just stumbled upon this site and I am glad I did. My name is Teresa, and I live in Illinois. I have 3 kids, a son(6) and 2 daughters(3) and have been married for 11 years. I started watching the Roloffs because they had twins and they lived in the pacific northwest. I grew up in Southwest Washington. I was weirdly excited when I saw them go shopping in a Fred Meyer. I was homesick that day. After that first episode I was hooked. I have learned a lot about being a better parent. I have been keeping a close eye on how they handle those twins, even though I am years away from where they are. My twins are only 3 years old. I also was so surprised that they are not afraid to say they are Bible believing people, even thoguh it is toned down a bit. Getting honest t.v. programs, that are clean and "family-friendly" are hard to come by. I hope to get to know you all better.

[cutefamily]

Welcome Teresa!!! Start posting away, glad to have a new person on the board :D You will love it here!!

[bballnumbers]

Welcome to all who joined today. Have fun reading and posting. We all have something in common. Yeah!

[wjtjd]

It seems that I am one of the few males posting on this board but I have seen some of the episodes and the whole picture seems to interest me. I live in a small house on a subdivision lot somewhere near where the Tennessee River enters the Ohio River. My user name did not happen by accident. It was the family's user name when we got our first family computer about ten years ago. We have three sons and there are five letters in my user name. Each letter is the first letter of each of our names....Willie, Jeanne, Tim, Jeff, and Dan. All of our sons are adults and still living with us in our small house. That makes life interesting. A hundred years or so ago people rode horses and our house would have had a large stable out back. Today people drive cars and our front yard looks like a used car lot.

I work a twelve hour shift that keeps me away from home about fourteen hours a day on the days that I am scheduled to work. Half of the time I work nights and half of the time I work days but I only have to work half of the days during the twenty eight day cycle.

Our TV source is a satellite dish on the on the back of the house so LPBW is a big event at our house. I am tied up quite a bit of the time but my wife watches all of the episodes and frequently the same episode more than once. That is how I became interested in the Roloff family and the show. My wife usually tells me about what I do not get a chance to see.

I could ramble on but if a post gets too long then people will fall asleep trying to read it. I have a web site at williesigler.com if anyone is interested in more. It is entirely almost all genealogy going back several hundred years in the United States.

Happy reading and viewing to all.


:D :D :D :D :D

Welcome Willie.....Looks like you are caught up with the wife now :wink:

[dawnwatch]

Hi! My name is Celeste and my husband and I live in Minnesota. We LOVE the show and look forward to each episode. We marvel at how the family can have a camera crew everywhere and maintain family closeness. Thank you, Roloffs for letting us invade your lives.

Our children are all grown, so now we have dogs. They're hysterical...check it out

Hi,

I'm Michelle - originally from Idaho, but now in Sacramento - and I'm right smack dab in the middle of a move... Anyone have any boxes???

[killene]

So Hows Terminator country doing these days Shelly....
I used to live a bit below you in Fresno and prior to that in LA.....
Boy that must have been a shock going from Idaho to California.
There is a big difference from up here and down there.....
I should know I lived in California 75% of my life :lol:

So glad Im in God's country Oregon... :D

[Mrs.Sawyer]

Hi,

I'm Michelle - originally from Idaho, but now in Sacramento - and I'm right smack dab in the middle of a move... Anyone have any boxes???

Hey shelly, you have that backwards! Californians are supposed to move to Idaho! :lol:

Or so it seems, welcome to the board 8)

[killene]

Ha ha Sawyer I kind of beat you too it :wink:
From what I have heard Californians are exiting east and north...Mostly northeast :lol:

[bballnumbers]

Ok so when you are done with the boxes, send them my way, I am in the beginning of a move.

[Mrs.Sawyer]

when Californians move to Idaho it is recommended they change their
license plate right away to avoid vandalism.
They aren't that welcome :shock:

[jeanne230]

Where's that avatar? I was just joking with you. I liked his pic.

[bballnumbers]

Yeah me too.

They aren't that welcome :shock:

Same when I moved fron NY to NC. Southerners don't always take to us yankees. After a few years in NC I put an "I Love NY" bumper sticker on my car as an experiment and waited to see what would happen. In the first week two semi trucks tried to run me off the road so off came the bumper sticker. I decided I wanted to live. :roll:

[cody-gracie-ally]

WELCOME JEANNE'S WILLIE! :D

[cody-gracie-ally]

Sorry, Jeanne and Willie. :cry:

[bballnumbers]

Thanks for the box. I will need quite a few of them. We have been here for six years.

[shellybell]

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome, you guys!

LOL, Rollonroloff!

Everything's just peachy in Gubernator country - but everyone really is moving out of state - 3/4 of my immediate family included! Could it be the high cost of living here???

I've actually lived here most of my life, but I have lived in the Idaho Falls area, which is where I went to college, plus 90 percent of my relatives live near or in Boise.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome, guys, and I'll send the boxes your way when I'm done, bballnumbers! :wink:

Shelly, have you ever been to Portland? How long would you say it takes to drive from the Idaho border with Oregon to Portland?

[bballnumbers]

Thanks, My son lives in San Diego, he likes no rain but doesn't always have a good time down there.,

[wjtjd]

No problem CGA. My mother's aunt named me when she visited my parents and cut their trip to Niagara Falls short. I have been to Niagara Falls four times...three times with my eyes open and the first time about four or five months before I was born. My guess is that she either got it from a stone in a cemetery or from a Rebbecca Caudill book about a family moving from North Carolina to Kentucky in the 1700's. I've had a lot of linguistics training and linguists have quite a sense of humor about things like that.

[cody-gracie-ally]

Willie, I am into genealogy too. I can trace one line of my family to New Haven Conn. in the 1600's. Do you have any Pardee family members?

[Mrs.Sawyer]

I never heard of Rebbecca Caudill, I just googled her. She's on my list of authors to check out, thanks Willie!

[bballnumbers]

what kind of stories does she write. My author list includes Dr. Seuss, Ann Miller, Lois Laury, Stan and Jan Barenstein, need I say more.

[Mrs.Sawyer]

I love historically based fiction.

Hi my name is Rhonda and i have a 16 yr old son and his name is Jeremy. I live in eastern part of the country. I like to read and play games on the computer.

[wjtjd]

CGA.... I do not remember anyone with that surname. Most of mine came west (when Kentucky was the West) from Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. I do have a Dodge line but the Dodge Family organization seems to think that my Dodge line was originally something like a French immigrant soldier during the American Revolution that Anglicized the French name from D'Auge to Dodge to fit into the English language culture.

Mrs. Sawyer and B Ball

She wrote a lot of children's books during the first half of the 1900's as well as magazine stories at a more adult level. The last book that I remember was "My Appalachia" in the last half of the 1900's. She was from Eastern Kentucky but her sister's husband's family owned a large farm in Western Kentucky near where KY, IL, and IN have a common boundary. She wrote a children's book about the farm and the area called "The House of the Fifers". My mother grew up on the farm and took care of her son while she wrote the book one summer. My mother comments about it in her autobiography.

[mattlover87]

Hi Willie! You have a GREAT wife. I love her to pieces and you seem very sweet as well!! :)

Gracie,I see that you were talking about Southerners above. I am from the midwest, but I have been told that I have the twangy southernly accent..I don't think I do though. I am suprised that they were so mean to you down there. I thought that southerners were supposed to have "southernly love."..lol

[wjtjd]

M L 87

Thanks for the welcome aboard.

People in the South are people just like people in any other part of the country. Some are more friendly than others. There will be tens of thousands of ladies from all over the country and world in our small southern town this week for a quilters' convention that has been in existence for several years now. They are evidently satisfied because they keep coming back year after year.

We live in Holyoke Massachusettes on the East Coast. I am the first generation of my family to be born in the USA. Both parents came from Ireland. Matt & Amy we love your show. You remind me so much of how we live our lives. Especially the bantor. We also laugh a lot at each other. I was poor growing up and when I would come home crying from school because someone made fun of our family, My Dad God bless his soul Always said to me"IF THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU, THEY ARE LEAVING SOMEONE ELSE ALONE" I never came home crying again.

I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A LARGE GROUP OF GAL FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN CLOSE SINCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, HOW SPECIAL THAT IS. WELL A FEW OF US ARE HEADING TO SUNNY FLORIDA NEXT WEEK FOR SOME RELAXING TIME AND FUN IN THE SUN. BOCA RATON MAY NEVER BE THE SAME..IF YOU SEE SOMETHING ON THE NEWS ABOUT FOUR WOMEN CAUSING A STIR IN FLORIDA ...WELL........WHAT CAN I SAY, LOL
CATCH "YOU ALL" WHEN I GET BACK...YEP I HAVE LIVED IN OHIO SINCE I WAS 11 BUT AM SOUTHERN BORN AND RAISED. AS FOR SOUTHERNERS BEING RUDE TO SOMEONE ....WELL THERE ARE JERKS EVERYWHERE....I WAS TAUGHT MANNERS AND RESPECT IF I EXPECT TO RECEIVE IT.

[cody-gracie-ally]

Hi Willie! You have a GREAT wife. I love her to pieces and you seem very sweet as well!! :)

Gracie,I see that you were talking about Southerners above. I am from the midwest, but I have been told that I have the twangy southernly accent..I don't think I do though. I am suprised that they were so mean to you down there. I thought that southerners were supposed to have "southernly love."..lol

Don't get me wrong, I loved the South. Most of the Southerners were great. Where I was in Wilmington there is a great influx of Northerners moving south to warmer weather and a nicer environment and some of the locals were upset at how crowded it had become there so their hostility was understandable. It was just the truckers that scared me. :wink:

[butterflykisses8]

Hello everyone

I have been on this board for a while now and I had not properly introduse myself. I have been butterflykisses on the internet for five year now. I have signed up for Oprah board, Rosie- Rblog and some others. I have not typed on them for some time and I asked Ro to delete my name on her site.

I am a person that will agree on things and sometimes if I am upset and see a post that makes me upset. I will say a few words or so and try yo be nice about it. There are a few time that I had said more that I should. Go thing they have the edit and delete.

I love to dream and to chat about dreams or what ever others are typing about. So please pm me or ask any question. I will answer question, only if they don't get to personal. You will have to earn my trust first before I will think it is ok to give any personal answers out.

I will type a few personal now: I am a 28 year old white female. I love the color orange and I really like to learn new things.

Shelly, have you ever been to Portland? How long would you say it takes to drive from the Idaho border with Oregon to Portland?

I don't remember going through Portland, Sawyer. I know of once going through Oregon on the way to Idaho from California, just for a change - but usually, we went via I-80 through Nevada and Utah, and made a left turn at Salt Lake City and went up through Pocatello. We also have a few relatives on my mom's side in Southeastern Idaho - in Rexburg and Idaho Falls, and we would stop there on our way to visit my dad's family in Boise... That was so long ago, though!

[jeanne230]

ml87, I have been told that I speak like a northerner. Not the usual western ky twang. We did live near Chicago for a few years. I am glad I don't have that west Ky twang.

[killene]

I live not quite 2 hours from the Idaho border via Pendleton; Highway 84. .It took me about 3 hours to get to where the Roloffs were doing the book signing. (If you dont count the Freeway that was closed. :( ) The book signing was less than 10 mins from their Farm. :D

ml87, I have been told that I speak like a northerner. Not the usual western ky twang. We did live near Chicago for a few years. I am glad I don't have that west Ky twang.

I do because I'm closer to the southern part of Illinois and on the border of IL and In so I have the twang..or so I've been told. :cry: ..yeah you are right, Chicago accents are different from other parts of IL accents. They don't have a twang and they don't say things like patatUH instead of potato like they do here..or windUH instead of window..i say windOW but I have heard people say windUH..that's a pet peeve of mine..My mom says patatUH and I yell at her for saying it!..ick!!

[jeanne230]

The real clue is how does she pronounce Illinois. If you are a hick from Western Ky that S is definitely there.

[mattlover87]

:x :x :x :x I loathe that s or Z sound..THERE IS NO S ON ILLINOIS! IT'S SILENTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! :x :x :shock:

LOL Jeanne..doesnt that drive you crazy?? ..no my mom doesn't put a z on it by the way:lol:

It's actually like that whole Oregon issue.. I heard Amy say it like Ore GONE..but we pronounce it here in Illinois like Ore GIN...hmm I bet we are wrong..after all, we aren't from OreGONE..lol

[jeanne230]

I sure wish I could go to Ore gon in pumpkin season. I know a nice little pumpkin patch I sure would like to visit.

[claire 67]

Thank you for welcoming me to the message board. I live in West Holyoke, near the Easthampton line. I use Cooley Dickison hospital in Northampton Ma. It is a beautiful city Northampton is, with the college and the quaint little stores. I think Northampton is or should be called the city of tolerance. The people there are just so hospitable and no one judges anyone. It is truly the city of love. I don't travel because of fear of flying. So I mostly drive to Maine for vacation. I love New England. May I ask why you left Northampton? Was it your job or service related? Once again Thank You. I love the Roloff family..

Hi again, Claire! I used to work at the Delaney House! My Mom retired to Idaho and I decided to go with her. It is much cheaper to live out here. But I want to move back someday.

[Registered User]

I've been told I've got a slight Chicago accent. I don't sound like the mayor or anything (thank god), but I've noticed a tendency to pronounce some words a certain way. A lot of times I do the "ee-and" when saying "and", which a lot of people do up here. It's hard for me to notice anything else though really.

My husband and I LOVE Maine for vacation. In fact, we want to retire there. We've been vacationing in Bar Harbor. The first time we went, we flew in to Maine and drove up the coast. It was just gorgeous! Wish we lived closer so we could drive there instead of the half a week it would take! But, it'd be soooooo worth it! :D

[KimRenee2]

My guess is that she either got it from a stone in a cemetery or from a Rebbecca Caudill book about a family moving from North Carolina to Kentucky in the 1700's. I've had a lot of linguistics training and linguists have quite a sense of humor about things like that.

Well, welcome! :D I should be able to say that I was born in Virginia, but the hospital was 'down the street in Kentucky', lol, so that's what the birth cert says. (the tri-state area)

I have a problem with my name too, southerners tend to call their kids by their *middle* name, so it makes it hard when people (understandably so) call me Kim. I've spent my life raising my hand and saying "no, please, it's Renee'." :lol: :lol:

You've intrigued me since I also study Appalachian history and even though I've never heard of Rebecca, I do know "The mountain, the miner and the Lord : and other tales from a country law office" by Harry M. Caudill.

I wonder if they're all 'kinfolk'. :D

Our family tree limbs do tend to go straight up, ya'know. (lol)

[KimRenee2]

KimRenee2........my first degree is in Sociology, minor Psychology. :D

Whoa! :D We have a *lot* in common. I saw earlier where you graduated from a Christian School too.

The difference... you've succeeded in obtaining your degree and I'm still working on mine.

Are you practicing your major? In what field??
My "goal" is to specialize in PTSD. It's especially important to me to help the Armed Forces and their families. I was raised a MilitaryBrat and I bleed red, white & blue. (and I snore to the tune of the National Anthem)
:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's my "Dream". :D

[quadskater]

I received my Sociology degree in 96. I tried the field, but didn't really care for it.......the pay was pathetic. Went back to school and earned a K-12 teaching cert. and Master's in secondary ed. My parents are/were (my dad is retired now) college instructors.......and we all know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree........so, I'm seeking a career in higher ed. I am an artist, so it looks like I'll need an MFA instead of a PhD to teach studio art....there's another 3 years in school. I wish I could just do my art and make a suitable living doing that, but I am realizing getting recognition is harder than it looks. My work is different, and around here, wild, contemporary art doesn't do well.

That is great you are going into ptsd........you are getting in at the right time with this ridiculous war we are in. You should be very successful at it.......I wish you the best of luck. :)

By the way.......I lasted 2 years in the K-12 teaching career.......it's not what it used to be when I was a kid in school. :roll:

[KimRenee2]

Yeah, I know. My husband's motto is

"It's okay to make plans,
Just don't plan the outcome."

[jeanne230]

My husbands family is heavy into the double name stuff Willie Joe, Roy Lewis,John Edward, Mary Alice etc. I am not making these names up. Some of the older generation actually talk like that.

[Mrs.Sawyer]

Good-night, John Boy :lol:

[jeanne230]

No it is goodnight Willie Joe!! By the way he won't be on much for a few days. He is tied up with work

[jeanne230]

I sure am glad the sexy MR. Sawyer is back. I wonder if he is like Warren Jeffs and wants multiple wives? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Wellsfamily]

:D Hello everyone, 42 yr mom to 3 teenagers (17,14,12), 1 husband, 1 jack russell, and 2 wonderful cats. We love watching the show, even the reruns. We just live a few hours from the roloffs and are planning on traveling to see them at the farm this fall. I am a hairdresser and my husband is a truck driver. I haven't bought the book yet but I will and I want to have the Roloff Family sign my book when we visit this fall. Oh did I say how much we love the show?

[cutefamily]

WELCOME!!!

[Hermione75]

Hi, I am a long time watcher of the show, first time poster. I am a first time mum to a 2.5 month old baby girl. We travel quite a bit with my husband for his work. So we like to travel pretty much anywhere.
So, I will be popping in from time to time! Nice to meet you guys[/code]

[Midi]

Hello everyone I am Diego, a.k.a "Midi" (the nick name origin is kind of geeky if you guys want to know) I am perhaps the only fan from Spain, I first discovered the show on my first semester over here in the U.S. (I am currently in college taking two semesters over here in the U.S.). What can I say the show is great I'm sure going to miss it once my semesters over here end, hope they show it in London, which is were I am heading next :P

Hopefully we'll have nice discussions with everyone in the forum. :D

[Sanders]

Im 21. Full time college student...just enjoing the show it really speaks to my heart...

[cutefamily]

Welcome Sanders!! :D

[KimRenee2]

Welcome....

Wells Family, I can totally relate to your houseful of teen hormones. :lol:
It's a *great* job though, isn't it? I have 3 also. (and I have last nights grocery bill to prove it) :lol: :lol:

Hermoine, congrats on the new arrival... I bet you don't get much sleep at night. Enjoy every moment of it, they grow up to roll their eyes at you. :lol: Your great life is just beginning and that's exciting.

Midi, welcome to the USofA. I hope you're finding people exceptionally cordial. Your travels sound fun. What a great opportunity. :)

And Sanders, welcome to the forum. We all relate on the same plain because the Roloff's resilience touches and inspires each one of us. Good luck in your upcoming final exams. :)

[HillShotGolf]

Hi All,
I am a new member, but a long time watcher and big fan of the show!! My name is Ruth. Matt reminds me so much of my dad and brother that I get goosebumps just seeing him. My dad passed away 4 years ago and my brother is just like him. I am the oldest and only daughter and my brothers are twins. My dad was only 4'9", but he was all man and nothing stopped him! Garry, the one like dad, is a Christian first and an inventer second. He has more projects going, just like Matt. His enthusiasm for life is irresistable and contagious! He created a new golf training tool called HillShot Golf and has won many awards and it is now on the market. We started with nothing, but because we believe in ourselves and don't take no for an answer, we succeed, again like Matt.

When I watch the show, something spiritual happens and I am seeing my dad and Garry, who lives in Atlanta and whom I miss, a lot. I am a wife and mother and a very proud granny to 4. We live in a log cabin on 5 acres in Bardstown, Kentucky. It is Derby time now and it is an exciting time to be here!! Thanks to all of the wonderful people here on this board and to Matt and Amy for sharing your life with us. God Bless You !!

[cutefamily]

Welcome HILLSHOTGOLF.....hope to see you posting more :D

Hello everyone!!!! Well,.....Been on here for a little while but hadn't posted much as I've been busier than the Roloff Family on a late October weekend! :wink: :P :lol:


My name is Ken (42) & my wife is Brenda (?) :wink: ,...... We live in the Real Dairy State of Wisconsin with our two Beagles Abby 1 1/2yrs. & Buddy 10 yrs. We also have two horses ( Jack & Jumunji ) that we trail ride/take camping, horse show events, & ride in local area parades with.

As you can tell by some of my posts that I like to joke around a bit!
It's all in fun & I love a good laugh, Who doesn't?......In my case,....at times too much! :roll: :wink: :lol: Nice to see so many folks from around the world here!!!!!

Some of you here are virtually neighbors so to speak!

Well that beeing said,......We love the "Little People Big World" program very much,......I can't realy think of a nicer family oriented show that is on the airwaves at this present time,............

Right Stuff Roloff; You'd be about 35-40 mi. away from us! We were just up there last weekend for the Midwest Horse Fair at the Colosium,.....The Budweiser Clydesdales made an appearance there,......WOW!!!!! They realy are a sharp looking outfit!!!!

KimRenee2; Great Idea!!!!! Wonder if we could use the Roloff families faces for the "Pumpkin Patch Kids" :shock: :lol:

I tell you what though,....If the Roloff's were to design & market toy's, games,mugs etc. I'm sure they'd make it big, As they do have a great fanfare!!!!

[lester]

wow....it is a canadian invasion.... LOL .... nice to meet you both.... :D

I'm a Canadian in the USA! :) I guess they are everywhere.

Love the show and love the family.

[imamomtoo]

:D Hello, I am a Christian mom from Florida with a daughter who is Molly's age. I love Amy! My daughter says I'm a lot like her, with the things she says to her kids! She's an amazing mom!

I'll have to say Big People Little World is my favorite show!! What a refreshing family. It's so nice to see people who love each other, without the rude sarcasm seen on other shows. Matt's the kind of dad who sets an example for others. He takes time to be with his children. He shows his wife affection. It's clear he's a truly loving dad. (Even when he's dreaming up another thing to build..LOL)

[killene]

Welcome Imamomtoo...I think you will find this a very refreshing forum talking about the Roloffs

[westy]

Hi Everyone,

I've posted a few times but never introduced myself lol... so here goes.. I am a married guy from California who enjoys watching the show. My wife is a big fan too... we've made it an event to order pizza or chinese food and watch LPBW for the hour on Monday nights. So we're definite fans.

I just uploaded a picture of myself with my wife and my mom in the avatar part... While I am 6'0 feet tall my mom is about 4'9....People find it hard to believe I am her son because I am tall and so is my sister. I keep telling her she should go to one of those little people conventions but she says she's too tall lol.. I told her you can be under 4'11 but she said its not for her ...I thought it would be interesting to meet people her size.

Even though my mom isn't technically a dwarf.. all my growing up years I remember my mom getting stared at or someone making a snide comment... I have noticed that people really don't do that anymore.. especially within the last 10 years. So things are improving

So anyway... hi to everyone ..seems like a good group here!

Mike

[killene]

Welcome Westy and your family to the best Roloff forum on the internet...I hope you find all us friendly and helpful.
We also have the best monderators around Sawyer and Disruptive....

Again Welcome :D

[bballnumbers]

Hey, Hey Hey, welcome to all the new comers to the forum. We are having a great time discussing our favorite family.

[modelmom]

I think it's interesting how one of the largest responses is when you ask people to talk about themselves. People LOVE to talk about themselves. :lol: I am no exception. My name is Julie and I am new to Little People. I just watched 3 episodes in a row. I live around the corner from some little people. I've never had the privilege of speaking to them on a personal basis. I see them outside quite a bit because they live on the way to my son's grade school. I am 36 and a single mom of a 14 year old daughter (oh my gosh!) and my 8 year old son. I am going through quite a time with my daughter being rebellious within the last 3 months like she never has before. I am a strong Christian and did not go through this with my parents. I can't seem to find that manual on parenting! :wink: Actually, I've been told by her teachers and others that I am doing a good job with her although it doesn't seem that way. But this is about the Roloffs-not me! I really like this show, for the reason many have said that they do not rip on each other. Just as I've told my children, "There are enough mean people in the world who you will have to deal with, so be nice to your family. They should be the ones you can rely on to be nice when you need it most." That's what the Roloff's exemplify. [quote]

Thanks for the reference DS. However, my photo seems to be too large. How do I change the size of it? I can't find the option to look up how many KB's it is. My last job was as an IT Recruiter, but that doesn't mean I know much about formatting photos. :lol:

If it's stored on your comp it can be no larger then 80x80 (6kb). If you would like me to resize it for you I can. Just let me know and I will PM you with my email address so ya can send it.

[SlpLesInPDX]

Hey everyone,
My name is Steph, and I grew up in the flat lands of North Dakota. I moved to Portland, OR with my boyfriend about two years ago, and love this state! Plus you don't have to shovel rain :D I am currently unemployed (long story) but looking. My kids are my 3 ferrets, Zaknafein (aka Zak), Maya, and Jarlaxle (Jer-axle). They keep me very busy. Nice to meet everyone :)

[DisruptiveSpirit]

Hello Steph and welcome! We hope you'll like it here!

[kaliskanny]

Hi, I'm Kali. I'm 28 (at least until August.)
I house sit at a group home with two men with MR and help them with their daily chores.

I stumbled up on the LPBW show in the middle of the night reruns while sitting at the group home and got hooked. It's interesting, funny, and inspiring.

My only children are also 3 ferrets: Rembrant (or Remy, the momma's boy), Ivy (who's deaf), and the brand new baby Sweetie (4 months old and hyper.)

[Toonces]

Hello!

Toonces here from the LPBW forum! I am happy to be here!

[modelmom]

Hey SlpLesinPDX-you're from North Dakota? I am from Nebraska (and still ehre) and my boyfriend is from South Dakota although he lives in Denver currently. You're the only one I've seen from this region. We had a great winter this year. Denver had our winter actually. We did not have to shovel near as much as they did. In fact, we only had 2 big snowfalls. That's pretty good for Nebraska (and the Dakotas). We experience the extreme of every season. It is already starting to get humid here. Last summer it wasn't very humid at all.
I am also currently unemployed which makes it extremely difficult for being a single mom. But I am blessed in other areas. Right now I think a ferret would be much less work than my teenage daughter. She is still my sweetheart, but I am emotionally and mentally exhausted every day with her. My favorite child on LPBW is Jacob because my son is 8 and I treasure the mother/son relationship right now. :wink:

[killene]

welcome to the best LPBW forum around Toonces and kaliskanny
