Hi, I'm Trin (real name Elvy).
I live out bush in Victoria, Australia (in a place called Muckleford, population probably something like 70 heh!). I'm a 30 yo mum to four children (10, 6, 5 & 2) with one on the way. Usually I work in Indigenous Women's Health, as an Aboriginal health worker, but I'm off work now to provide 24 hour care for one of my children who is profoundly physically disabled (but a computer nut all the same lol).
I found VV a while ago, downloaded the trial version and after playing it for ten minutes, decided I just had to have it...which is a BIG deal, it's the first and only game I've ever bought/downloaded off the internet!
Nice to meet y'all!

I am Brooke from Houston TX. I teach freshman English and Reading in Houston ISD. I am also the sponsor for the Milby Chopper Club, where we are teaching kids how to build motorcycles and then offer them scholarships to college or trade school. I am also the school's 504 coordinator, after school tutor, unofficial tech assistant, baker, mother hen, and mother bear. I have 210 children this year, about 600 more from previos years. At least 50-60 of my old babies come to see me every week (constantly having to kick them outta my room so they will go to their own classes) and for some reason they call me on the weekends. If you can't tell, work is my life. I love to read, write, cook, and bake. Most of my skills are directed at making my kids lives a little easier, a little happier, and much more successful. My stress revlievers are VV and FT. My free time (what little there is) is spent studying science (esp quantum theory-go figure), messing with motorcycles, playing video games, and helping take care of my handicapped mother when she has bad days. I live with my parents because we don't like leaving mom alone when dad has to work nights. She has a tendency to catch things on fire when she is tired and doesn't pay attention to what she is doing. I used to have a dog, but we lost him last year. Still haven't recovered. We do have one (slightly evil) cat, Emily, who is spoiled silly. I have two goldfish, Mohawk and Faux, and a turtle names Loli who is currently at my best friends house while I babysit his turtle, Don. I need to rebuild my other tank after a minor fiasco clamined the lives of two fish and Stinky the Snail. *sniffles* No children. No husband. No worries.

Cass, I haven't updated it in ages mine was on ancestry.com. Yeah, I just love it, I couldn't believe what I found out about my ancestors. I've take a break from it (VV) but I will be going back to it. I also use findagrave.com, do you? Here is the listing for my dad with some links to his parents and so on. I still have links to add but check it out if you like.

Wow!! I'm mostly Scot Irish. Let's see Dad -- Megill (McGill, MacGill), Hutchison, Mackintosh and Muir. I have a good bit of info on the Hutchison's from the late 1600's arriving in America, virtually nothing on the Mackintosh or Muir's (the Muir's arrived in the mid 1800's).
This is so cool to find you all here playing VV.

Of course you can pm me. Sorry, it isn't in Allegheny County; we are in Philadelphia County. Allegheny County is closer to VillageMonk. Here is a link to all the Forest Hill cemeteries listed on Findagrave in Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Forest Hills cemeteries. If you haven't checked out Findagrave, please give it try. There are so many volunteers around the globe who are posting grave information and even go out and do look up requests. Their forums are just like here. The people who participate are great and really try to help others. In fact, FAG was where I found my GGgrandfather's burial and from there I was able to get more information about him and even a photo Jeremiah Hutchison. I work at my part time tonight but I will get back to you with any information that I have on my family.
