| Anton What do you do in your spare time Dennis?
well i am in the process of retiring from woodworking after 27 years of doing that. Currently i am a machinest and put in 55 to 60 hours a week running a metal lathe. when i get home the computer gets kicked on and i hit the forums with this one now being first(4 orchid forums and 2 tractor forums i have three antique ford tractors) i search thru post to soak up any and all information that will help me as well as help others. After reading all the new post i search the internet to read and learn more and hopefully bring back more info to this forum. Of the 4 forums i visit on orchids i prefer this one over the others as i feel the people here (members and moderators) dont act like a bunch of high society stuffed shirts and seem to really wanting to help new members with the basics as well as the more complexed areas to growing these wonderful plants. i have watched my post about my terminal spike get over 100 views without a response, here i got 6 responses on it. there might be some more knowledge on some other sites (not saying that there is) but i do not have to pretend i am a doctor in horticulture or a botanist to get some help to some simple questions here from the members of this forum, i appreciate it very much. so what ever info i can find and bing back is just my way of saying thanks for the help and maybe i can in return do the same for someone else looking for a place to start. i do like to joke around some as in the post about outlawing shows but other than than that, i would like to help this site grow and be one of the top forums out there, with the class of people here i think it is on its way.  |
