Welcome!

Welcome!

I gained 15 pounds the first year I moved from Seattle to Chicago (and 15 each subsequent year). It's those looooong winters!!!

Welcome!

Your screen name is very appropriate!

Welcome! I am not in OH [tho my crazy grandmother lives there] but moved from CA to MO for medical school and now we're in KS for residency.

Welcome!

No offense taken. It's nice to know I am amongst my own people

Welcome and I have to say that I felt the same way when I found this board.

Welcome to Ohio and iMSN.

Thank you ladies for such a warm welcome!

Though we live in Philly now, I am originally from Louisville, Ky...which is right down the road from Cinci! Welcome!

Hi frowe01,

My DH's father is originally from Louisville, although he is deceased, we have visited my DH's uncle there a couple of times. DH's uncle is very proud to be a Kentuckian. In fact, although I thought this was a complete joke until he showed us his state-issued certificate, he is a Kentucky Colonel. Please don't ask me to explain. I have no idea.

Greetings! I am the resident "Opinionated Conservative Who Everyone Tolerates (or Even Humors) Because Having a Token Republican Friend Is All The Rage At Cocktail Parties Right Now." I'm a form of amusement!

No, seriously: I was actually introduced this way last week. BAWAHAHAHAHA!

Good to meet you!

Hi GrayMatterWife,

Thank you for upping my cool factor exponentially. Should I find myself at a cocktail party, I will mention you profusely.

Welcome to iMSN and to Ohio! We're in Columbus, but have really good friends in Cinci. Hope you're adjusting to being married to a resident.

Hi Deebs,

Cincy has been an easy transition for us. We wanted to leave CA, despite and because of the fact that we are both LA natives, and are enjoying the Midwest. Transitioning from the wife of a med student to the wife of a resident is an entirely different can of worms. We lived in LA for med school and I had to work so much to keep us afloat, I was too exhausted to realize how little time we spent together. Now, working much less and from home, I am acutely aware of how little time we spend together. It's a trade-off.

Welcome!

Hi alison,

That is so true. I'm already dreading next winter.

I may be in love with you already. You can do quotes, respond to several people in one post, and seem to have a sense of humor.

I don't normally bother to pipe in the the Introductions forum (I'm old, bitter, and have been on this site way too long), but WELCOME!

Welcome!

Sorry I'm late chiming in here... I'm glad you found us, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
