Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The Welcome Room & New Member Intros How about a place for new members to come on in, make an introduction, and meet the regulars? Talk about yourself or anything else that comes to mind, just to break the ice. Or just pull up a chair and make yourself at home for a spell. |

Marcia McGuiness - "Golden Gate Geckos"
I really like this idea! It's a great way to associate a face with a name when reading through the various forums.
I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on 6/3/54, a 3rd generation American from Irish immigrants. My family moved all over the country because my Dad had a 20 year career in the U.S. Marine Corps, and we finally settled in the San Francisco Bay area when my Dad retired and I was in High School.
I got my B.S. from San Jose State University in Materials Science, and went on to U.C Berkeley for my Master's in Chemical Engineering. I worked for a few large Hi-Tech companies in Silicon Valley in various capacities as an Engineer for nearly 26 years until I became totally disabled with severe FMS/MCSS, which is a neuro-autoimmune disease most likely due to overexposure to hazardous chemicals.
Now, I am an Ordained Minister and although I am not a full-time Pastor at my church, I work with chronically ill people and their families, and volunteer with the local Hospice for people with grief support. I counsel couples and perform lots of weddings, wich is a LOT of fun! I spend most my time raising/breeding Leopard Geckos, and when I can I enjoy going to schools doing educational presentations about reptiles with my Leos.
I have been married for over 30 years, have a daughter (almost 30) and a son (23), and 2 wonderful grandchildren, ages 11 and 9. I have a menagerie of critters, including 2 black Schnauzers that keep me company!

Marcia,
It is nice to meet you. Red seems to get a bit fiery at times, don't you think?

"FIRE"
Hi Rozann!
LOL!!!! Yup, I guess we can get "all fired up" at times! But that can also be a GOOD thing, too!

Just a comment. You don't look old enough to have a 28 year old daughter. I am 29, .....maybe I was just really rough on my parents?

GEE, THANKS!
Jason,
Yup, almost 49 years old! Trust me, in the unlikely event that I was to wear a bikini you'd be begging Rich to delete your post! Thanks, you made my day! (maybe even my week...)

a year gone by...
Gee, it's been a year since I posted this originally, and I just wanted to update my kid's and grandkid's ages. My age, however, has remained the same and I look exactly the same as I did when this photo was taken a few years ago.
