Welcome aboard! I hope you have a good time here...which will be greatly facilitated by a thick skin. Its a lot like the big Italian (or Eye-talian as half the folks here say) family I grew up in - lots of bickering, lots of loud voices and lecturing, lots of wandering from topic to topic, but overall a pretty good bunch of folks with much experience and some good advice to be shared. Enjoy.
Was married to a Marine for 6 years, and lived near base after he passed away for over 3. I think I can deal with a little rowdy behavior.
