Let's get to know our staff on our home turf!

[pdudgeon]

can i just pop in here to say how nice it is to see cooperation between members and staff?
this is really great, and a real joy to behold!

 

[JCFantasy23]

Paralegal by education, glorified secretary by employment.

I also work for the election commission, so I work the polls during elections.

Freelance dog-sitter. Only one regular customer, but she pays well.

Convert to Catholicism. Raised non Denominational.

Homebrewer. Just finished a batch of Belgian Ale.

Not much more to tell.

This has your status making more sense. I thought you meant you make a lot of polls on CF or something at first

Lol actually it is about the CF polls. I just haven't updated it to "refereeing polls"

I love to sing in the car, too, especially on long trips--keeps me alert.

My favorite songs are the ones I can make up harmonies to--and fast, upbeat songs for driving.

My daughter and her friend once recorded me singing in the car on cell phone--when they suddenly started playback boy was my face red!

I have perfect pitch but always consider myself more of a "choir" singer...

LOL My face would have turned beet read too if anyone recorded me and played it back! I like that you make up harmonies to songs. That is so awesome! God gave us such a wonderful variety to listen to. Don't you just love it?

I love to look at the stars and planets through a telescope at my pastor's house. Tonight I was looking up at the sky and saw the bright round moon and remembered this weekend there is to be a total lunar eclipse. Anyone think they will see it? I hope to and if not I am going to watch the live stream on Nasa's website

[MissRowy]

Hi there...its about time I showed my mug shot in here lol

My name is Rowena but everyone knows me on CF as MissRowy or just Rowy amongst staff
Im 34 and I am a nursing student from Western Sydney Australia
I love God and I love trance and progressive trance music

This is me and a group of friends doing Miss Muddy (before we got muddy!) Im 2nd from the right

And this is me AFTER i got stuck in the mud! Im the first on the left!

So you now know what I can get up to on the weekend!

 

[pdudgeon]

WOW! that looks like a total blast.

 

[MissRowy]

It was a good time. I have learnt not to throw myself into a pool of icy water! And wear longer pants because I scratched my knees in the mud pits

 

[High Fidelity]

Hello all

I know some members feel there's a gap that needs to be bridged between staff and members in OBOB but one thing I did want to mention that I noticed (here more than anywhere else in the forum) is the amount of self-moderation and members trying to get threads back on track without the need of staff interference, and that's really awesome

 

[High Fidelity]

As for who I am... Well that's a rather dull story, but sure

My name's Mike and I'm a 26-year-old Business Management student.

Compared to most of you guys I am very young in my walk with Christ. I spent most of my life as a militant Atheist(more an anti-theist) with polar opposite views to what I have now.

I am still adjusting to my new life as a Christian and I really love that I feel I can be critical of myself and address areas of my life or my self in order to glorify Him and in order to be a better ambassador for Christ through my actions in faith as opposed to just my profession of faith.

That aside, I'm a pretty boring dude. I like to read history(WW2, Ancient China(especially agriculture), Ancient Rome), economics and politics. I enjoy spending time outdoors in the woods with my backpack, an axe and a knife and just forgetting about things. I have a mild obsession with fountain pens and ink(There's just sooooooo many!) and I seem to be collecting finely-bound Bibles.

Now that's over with, you can wake up now

Hi Patrik
about that woods and camping thing..... have I ever got a tv show for you.
it's on The Weather Chanel, 10 pm.(EST) tonight, called "Fat boys in the Woods".
it's a survival challenge-type thing, with super tips for backpacking and finding things to eat and make camp with. complete with bad weather, cold nights, and all.

and thanks for the compliment to the forum! Sounds like you've got a lot of good interests going for you.

[MissRowy]

God is always in my schedule! He's number 1!

 

[MarkRohfrietsch]

Hi, I'm Mark, and most of you guys know me.

Born a Confessional Lutheran, and growing in that faith ever since.

I grew up on a farm; worked part time in high school in a fabrication shop building farm equipment. Went to college for Funeral Service, was interned, licensed (still am). My wife of 32 years and I operated a funeral home for a time. During that time our daughter was born and she will be turning 30 this year.

Currently I am the Sr. Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) Specialist at a JIT Automotive parts manufacturing plant. I do a lot of modification, redesign, re-engineering of equipment, processes, procedures etc. They treat me very well there, and are presently paying for night school, so I can earn certification as a Manufacturing Engineer.

I have been here at CF since 2008 I think, and most of that time has been on staff in one capacity or another.

I hold OBOB very close to my heart, and at times tend to be even a bit over protective because we share so much historically, liturgically, traditionally, and in this day and age, we stand on the same ground morally and ethically regarding the many issues in society that are challenging Christianity.

God bless you all!

Mark

 

[Michie]

I was wondering when you were going to pop in Mark!

I'm liking this thread as well since I didn't know most of this staff about fellow staff members either
