    It's an interesting group of folks who frequent this forum. (And I actually mean that without sarcasm.):) It seems to me that there are more engineers and military folks than average. I've also noticed that many of us tend to claim mild (or not so mild) OCD tendencies. I'm curious to know more about the people behind the Avatars, and find out what people do for a living. Feel free to expound as much as you like...

    Our newest product is a birthday cake cone with blue and white cake and icing flavored ice cream and colored sprinkles on top. It's quickly becoming a fan favorite. We also pioneered sour swirled sherbet and ice pop bars which are pretty unique.

    That sounds rewarding, difficult, stressful, and challenging, all in very different ways than my job, which I could describe in the same way.

    Edit : Actually, upon reflection, I guess that statement applies to all the posts so far.

    You lift, you shave, you bike and you sys admin.
    If you are handsome and conceited also, you may just be me.
    Good for you :)

    Haha... I made a remark somewhere that I was never mistaken for cute in the past when our lovely Queen took notice. :)

    I always wondered how you guys track them down and get 'em back. Is there a short answer to that question?
