Hello from a new friend
Berit:
Hi
I'm Berit from northen Sweden.
I live in a small village. on my parents old dairyfarm with husband, son -the daughter has left for her own place - 5 cats and my mom, 85 years, 1 km from me. I'm a nurse at an old folks home.
I try to learn as much as I can about America and this is a good place to do that :laugh:
Welcome to BetterMost

(When I first saw your handle, I thought you might be a former fan of Greg Kinnear...)
LOL. Me too--and I thought, "Why 'ex'? What did Greg do?" :)
Welcome--and I will look forward to hearing about the cat who found you!!

Welcome to BetterMost, exKinnearGal.
Thanks for posting your introduction. I'm a dog person myself, but I'm looking forward to hearing more about your cats, especially the one who found you.
Like you, I also enjoy playing around with paper. I made cards as a hobby, and I have more paper and paper-crafting supplies than I'll probably ever use, but I keep buying more. :)
I have to admit, unlike Paul, Meryl, Chrissi, and Shasta, I have no idea who Greg Kinnear is, but I'm guessing he's an actor or musician.
As you make your way around the different forums, you might want to check out the games in the ABCs & 123s forum. We've got an "ABCs at the Movies" game going strong as well as an "ABCs of Brokeback Mountain" game -- now in Round 719!!!! We're always looking for new players, so, if you're so inclined, check out the rules, check the appropriate answer list before posting -- the "New Archive" thread for the movie game and the "Words Played" thread (with the smiley face icon) for the latter -- and join our version of online fun and games.

Welcome!
--- Quote from: exKinnearGal on August 27, 2008, 09:55:08 pm ---As my screen name says, I used to live near Kinnear, WY. Our mailing address, and our mail, came to the Kinnear post office but we lived about 11 miles past Kinnear off Hwy. 26 on 6 acres off a private dirt road. We moved out there in May 2001 and left in August 2005. As glorious as the Wind River Mountains are and as nice as the people out there were and as much as we miss some of our friends who live there, I'm glad to be back to what I call home. Driving darn near 40 miles to grocery shop in Riverton at the Super Walmart was a BIT too far for me. As was driving into Lander for Dr. and dentist appts., visits with friends (I lived for awhile in Lander while the other half lived out on our land on Nuts Flats as we call it...that's another story) and general needs for some sort of civilization. Riverton just didn't do it for me so a trip across the rez to Lander was the norm for social activities, such as they were.
As for Wyoming as a whole, some parts of it are simply gorgeous. ALL of it is unique. The people are for the most part good folks, even if some of them have their cowboy hats on a bit too tight. :) No offense to any Wyoming-ites in this community here, I would live there again if only it weren't so darn isolated for this small city gal. The other half would still be out there if not for my unhappiness about living so isolated.

No more lonesome ol' ranches for you, hunh? ;)
Seriously, that was fascinating to read, since I had the opportunity to travel through the Wind Rivers from Riverton to Dubois and on to the Tetons on the "Roundup" this June. (Check out the "Roundup" threads over on the "Social" forum.) The Wind Rivers struck me as starkly beautiful, but, personally, I prefer the Absarokas and the Big Horns.
I think I saw that WalMart, since we stayed the night in Riverton! :laugh:
Anyway, I suppose you noticed you have the honor of being our 1301st "resident," so congratulations and, again, welcome!
