Can we do a quick roll call?

[peggyfromwastate]

I'm pretty sure there's a roll call around here somewhere, but I'm always on my phone and way lazy to search.

I would love a quick roll call- feel free to change what you share but I'll start with

1) name if you want to share or explain your username if you'd like
2) region where you live
3) stage of training your SO is in
4) kids or pets or both? If you want to share

Thanks all!!!

Can we do a quick roll call?

1) I'm Peggy, and my username is from way way back when I joined IMSN (in the dial up days). I lived in WA state, that's Washington. I have to clarify because some have thought it meant Waaah as in crying, which works too!!

2) region where you live
Currently in Hawaii...

3) stage of training your SO is in
He's an attending. Just finished fellowship.

4) kids or pets or both? If you want to share

I have 5 kids, ages 18, 13, 13, 10, and 6. My oldest started college a couple of weeks ago. So I'm missing her.

And two dogs Pekoe (airedale terrier) and Shasta (hyper labradoodle) and they are both puppy-ish (ages 2, and 1).
