I'm almost 26...

LoL... Teah, it is a pretty outstanding thing that I wish I could take credit for. However, since I never really made any sort of long-term plans, nor really expected to live this long anyway, it's pretty much an accident. I got lucky.

Thanks... It has been a long time... sometimes you just gotta go back to the places you think of as home and see what has changed and what has not...

*shakes head* I find that there are active posts that I posted on before I left so long ago... what's up with that???

Hello everyone. I'm tkingdoll, which is not short for talking doll, thinking doll or the king doll.

When I was 10 my best friend Zoe and I wrote a book called Astronomy For Kids, which we created by copying an existing publication, My First Astronomy Book, word for word. We even drew our own illustrations.

Zoe went on to become a Professor of Physics while I am a copywriting hack and marketing consultant. The perfect team to create and sell a plagiarised book! Now where did I put that manuscript?

Hi all, I would cruise this sight as part of my daily info fix and only today, for no good reason, decided to sign up so I could contribute. I think I'm up to 20 posts and two threads on my first day in.

Anywho, I usually post at Fishindex as I have much more experiance as an aquarist than an astromomer, but I'm just so fascinated by astronomy! Always have been. (I know I'm preaching to the choir here)

Heh. No mystery, T. King is my real name. Even I'm not sure about the 'doll' bit though, let's call it open to interpretation.

Welcome, Stu/ungreat! Somehow you managed to post twice, so I deleted one of them.

Default Hello everyone!
I'm new in here and I'm a having a hard time looking for the Introductions forum. :-( It said that I could make my first post in there... but I can't find it. That's why I'm posting in here. Mr. Admin, if this post doesn't belong here... kindly transfer it please to where it was supposed to be.

I just want to introduce myself. I'm angelica and I'm from Philippines. I happen to visit/join your forum because I'm very much fascinated about outer space things, the comets, the stars, the moon! Those fantastic colors and shapes! I believe by joining this forum I could learn more about astronomy.

Hope to gain more friends around the world and know all of your in here.

Good day!

That's because I moved it here. It was in "About BAUT" before.

Hi to the forums. I'm 55, and feeling older when I see some of the younger members here, and live in Saskatchewan, land of clear skies and ancestral home of the Sasquatch ( ). I began stargazing in the fall of 1985 when a friend introduced me to Halley's Comet, though I'm no expert. I've been browsing here off and on for a couple of years and thought it was time to try it out.
