New to ATS, but not new to ATS!

Hey all! Joined ATS tonight looking forward to interesting topics, heated debates, respectful disagreements and well, weirdness!!! I enjoy the world of what ifs, conspiracy (or as I prefer POSSIBILITIES), and asking questions. I may sometimes sound like an idiot, but that's just me learning.


I hope as I get to know this community I can build a solid and respected repport!!! I will share my background so those of you who actually read introductions may understand where I come from when I give my two cents or try to help others understand a topic I may know about.

Again, do not mistake this as a "measuring" or "ego" post, just wanting to shed light on who I am and my life experience...I always believed having the background supports your position for those who want to disregard you..lol

Anyway, nice to meet you all and look forward to getting to know you.

Hello and welcome!

Its not that i needed to share it, I just think sometimes when you know a persons background it helps understanding their position when they post on a topic or share insight. As you know it is NOT uncommon for people to say things on topics they know nothing about and do so in a way to imply they know..lol. When I decide to put my foot in my mouth on topics I am not too versed in I admit it, but am also open to learning about it. So you're not getting old, but times are changing..lol

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!!!
