I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon too.

I'm 24.

I'm taking part-time classes at the University of Cincinnati to finish up my bachelors while I work at a design/technical firm here in Cincinnati.

I have cared for several different pets in my lifetime:

fish, hermit crabs, mice, hamsters, ball python, ferrets, rabbit, guinea pig, turtle, cat, dogs, and soon to be Mantids.

The only animals I have now are my two dogs. I'm expecting mantids to arrive today.

Im 29. Full time employed as a QA Specialist at a local ISP (Internet Srevice Provider) here in the Los Angeles area. Basically I monitor all the representatives that take sales calls or billing calls to make sure theyre telling the customers the right stuff.

I garden, swim alot, and devour books like theres no tomorrow. I am a big Horror / blood and gore freak, my moms bday is the day after halloween so that could explain it.

I have one cat named Mulder (yeah I was an X-Files freak)

[Horatio]

I am Horatio, a policeman from Miami and I wear sunglasses... 8) Actually, I am a 42 year old mom (two school kids) and I have a very mantis supporting husband/best friend (14+ years). I did 4+ years of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta (Zoo major, Bio minor) before transferring in to the BScN, RN program (let it be known that the science background was wonderful in helping me with the Nursing degree). We prefer that I stay at home with our children until they are really established in their schooling. I am a strong Christian and I teach Sunday School. I am also a Girl Guide Leader. Cool science projects keep us happy at home. I was and am a huge Steve Irwin fan. Gosh I miss him! He was like a Zoo hero for my whole family. We have a geriatric ferret (I've had ferrets since 1988), a mini dachshund named Odie, 4 cats (we had them on the farm and kept them when we moved to town), a few fish (Camrose water is extremely hard on them), and the chinese mantids (we think) in L2 (I have 11 left). We do have a few escaped crickets as one of my children knocked over the cricket cage and told me later about it....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Oh yes, I did take a med-vet entomology course way back when I was young and in university (plus the usual vert and invert stuff). I think my favorite course of all time was a higher level Ornithology course from a Dr. Boag (U of A).
