Greetings. I came upon your forum site, decided that it looked interesting and fun and decided to join.
I haven't figured out how to post my own avatar photo in so I apologize for the boring "no avatar" availalble thing under my screen name.
I am a Swede and I am big and the dumb part is my attempt to inject a little self-deprecating humor. I spend my time between my home in Florida and my farm in southern MInnesota. I work as an emergency room physician at a large metropolitan hospital in the Twin Cities area.
I was widowed in 1996 and I have six kids, all in their twenties. Maybe all of this information belongs under my profile. I guess someone will give me a clue?
Anyway, I hope this is a user-friendly forum and I won't be bashed by the cooler members who sit at the cool kids lunch table.

I was never one of the cool kids, so you can sit with me!

Hi, Swedie! It's your lucky day...you've found US! If you need help navigating around (it's big) just ask...but, since you can find your way to Fla. & back, I suspect you'll do just FINE!
