    My real introduction

    IM 5'10 180LB BRWM HAIR GREEN EYES AND I LIKE WALKS IN THE RAIN

    HELLO,
    I have been scrapping for about one month and I am totally addicted to it. This is the easiest money I personally have made in my life. About seven years ago found out I have rheumatoid arthritis and was in alot of pain so my career in carpet installation was in question, but I fought through it until a year ago. When a roll of carpet fell on my leg and I got a compound fracture, so I have been going to college and need some income because student loans cant support a family of four. I had been racking my brain for ideas for a flexible job when I took some cans in to recycle and it hit me, I can recycle many things for money. I started to research price, metals, and found this place. I dove into archives to cram in as much as I could to make money we really need. That is my history in a nutshell and I look forward to getting to know you all.



    Sincerely,

    M. Skippy

    I guess everyone deserves a second chance. Use it wisely, welcome back and good luck scrapping.

    Um chronological age 38, maturity age 12, and that might be stretching it. I do relate really well to my 11 and 9 year old girls though.

    O.K. I'll go with the second chance thing. Brasscatcher's right. Everyone deserves one. Even you, skippy. Just answer one question for me. Why all the foolishness earlier?

    well when I first perused this forum I sensed a tension/aggression in this forum/family which I heard it described before as a family. Then I thought to myself and said " Self, what this family needs is a common goal to unite them and direct their anger towards and not themselves." So, with humor I attempted bring this family closer, while self- sacrificing myself for the good of the group.Naw, Im just kidding Im just really immature sometimes sorry.

    We're just a big dysfunctional family and like other families we occasionally have a bad apple rear their head. We take the bad with the good. But your attitude is like nite and day, I applaud you.

    Well, for as much as a new guy's opinion is worth, i find the playfulness rather amusing.
    Skippy just needs to find a way to not let it get out of hand.

    Ya just a side note I did the whole third person thing because I cant fathom a person really doing that, but think it would be really fun to meet someone who did that for real. The fun would last about five minutes then I would tell the D Bag to shut up or I would choke them
