Member Welcome, Introduce yourself to the community.

Thanks folks for the friendly welcome! Makes me feel right at home.

Thank you for your kind welcome.

Swanny

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Thom Swan (Clan Gunn) but my wife and friends call me Swanny. My enemies have a few other names for me, but they shouldna' be posted on a family site. I live in Two Rivers, Alaska and earn my living as a security guard/paramedic at a remote pump station on the trans-Alaska pipeline. I work two weeks on/two off, and have the opportunity to tie up a phone line to listen to fine music while I'm at work.

When I'm not working on the pipeline I'm a living-history enthusiast primarily interested in the Canadian fur-trade ca. 1763 - 1821. As part of that hobby I operation "Nor' West Company", a living history tradestore that provides black powder for muzzleloader shooters and a variety of historically authentic goodies for everyone.

I believe that life is too darned short to do only one or two things, so I've too many interests and not enough time to pursue them all though I give it a good try.

Thanks for readin'.

Welcome dmg. Enjoy the forum and while you're at it have a pint on me. :

Arrrr... welcome ye Salty Dog!

Welcome Swanny how we love ya, how we love ya.


I would tell you to sit and have a pint or two... but that's MY job!

Hello there!

I'm an American with Celtic roots. Lately, I've really been feeling the whole Celtic culture (every time I go to a Ren Faire, I wear a kilt and a 5' Claymore). I'm almost done with college (business degree, MIS major, Wright State University). I'm really glad I found this site. I like rock as much as the next guy, but it's SO much easier to work with this music in the background.

That's my post up above... I thought I was signed in when I clicked the email link.

Welcome Jason the Pawnman! And welcome to Swanny in case I missed you!

Greetings Pawnman!!! You'll really enjoy it here.

Write State? Ohio?
Not too far from where I'm at if so. Ol' Cincinnati location here....

hope to see ya round

Hi All! Thanks for the welcome.

My name is Fran Sheridan and I'm from Collegeville, PA. I used to be a good, upstanding citizen until I met Jim and Brett (who introduced me to this site).

I'm a simple type, who likes nothing better than sitting around with friends, having a beer and listening to the Hooligans.

Thanks again for the welcome. I feel at home already!

Fran

Yep, Wright State in Dayton OH. My girlfriend's dad lives in Milford and her grandparents live in Dayton KY (four blocks from the Newport aquarium...or something like that. For as often as I go there, you'd think I'd know!)

I'm in dire need of a few pints, so welcome to the new folks and the unregistered few.

If no one's new, I guess I'm working on a reserve!

Greetings RustyTX!!!

Hope to see ya around!

Cheers

Yes! A big Gaelic welcome to RustyTX!

Hey, I am away from here for a few days and the place fills up. Welcome to all the new folks and hi to all the oldies. Been real busy out here, a friend of mine is putting together a cantadera to benefit a school and that has entailed a lot of work. We are having a barbecue the next day (15th) at the house in Pesé and I decided to put up some more roof on the rancho behind the house since we are in the rainy season here. We did it Saturday night and Sunday, whew, what a day.

Haha, I probably just lost just about everybody reading this but the thought just occured to me that what a great place this is. What other message board about celtic stuff would have a fat pana-gringo-highlander posting stuff about a barbecue. hey y'all, take it easy.

if anyone is in the area Sunday, feel free to stop by. Lots of food, lots of beer, and even plenty of Seco Herrerano if you can take that stuff
