Hi ATS! I'm Brittany. Been reading the threads for a while and finally joined.

Hello, ATS. I've been following threads here for two-three years. Had an account at one point, but that was a long time ago. I'm from Texas, have 2 little ones 4&2, and I'm a stay at home mom. I love the convos here and I'm sure I'll meet some fun and interesting people. Thanks for reading!

Welcome to ATS. 4+2 eh? I can remember my favourite question at that age, "Why?" These days I just tend to google the answer for myself.

See you around, watch out for hidden floor traps (think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), they can really hurt.

Welcome to ATS Brittany...New Girl members get the honorary Chocolate Fountain.....enjoy, and share...

Aww! Love it! Thanks every one! I have to admit I was a little intimidated to post, but so far so good!

Welcome. 3 and 1.5 for me. I'm the primary caregiver too! HOLY!
Anyway, greetings from Canada. Take everything with a grain of salt around here. Including my posts! Check out my "God is Time" post. It made a few people indignant, it was fun.

My first post here.

Welcome to the community, I am new to being a poster here myself. It has proven intresting thus far. I am finding that I get more stars than replies to my specific post. Not sure if it's because I am the "new one in the room" or I haven't taken the initative to try and jump start a back and forth with another member yet.

Anyways hope you get positive feedback and open yourself to new horizons.

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.

*** Please be at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward), and act like an 'civil' adult. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

*** Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride you're on. Before getting on a ride, you should be mentally fit, emotionally stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

*** Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might think or expect. At times, you may learn something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride, this is a natural and normal phenomena.

*** Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

*** Please have fun! Be aware if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, troll, intentionally spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is for your safety, & also for those both young and old on the ride with you.

So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!

Welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome Brittany!! Did either you or Gimme_some_truth see any of the hail in Texas? I have property out there and heard it was crazy in Amarillo.

reply to post by GuidedKill


No, i heard about it, but I'm in the South East, not far from Houston. We got some heavy rain and I even had to pull over when driving today, but no hail. Texas is so huge, it could be snowing where you are and I could be getting some sun in my back yard!
Thanks for the welcome!

No doubt, I was thinking man I wish it would hail like that at my house. I could use the rain!!! Although this year is a blessing compared to last year. The ranch didn't get rain from Jan 2011 until Sept/Oct 2011. Almost killed all my deer!!!

Welcome!
Um, as a mom, did you bring cookies?

(we like cookies)

Enjoy the site!

reply to post by beezzer


Ha! Nah, I usually just buy cookies. I should really get into making them though. It would probably make me seem much more maternal. Thanks for the welcome.

The drought was horrible! Really hoping we can have fireworks this July 4th. Last summer we had a burn ban. People would look at you like you just shot a nun if you lit a match.

Welcome Brittany !

Hope to see many posts from ya !
