WELCOME!

I figure it's time for me and the blog to get close. As my mother-in-law says,I am turning into "one of those blog people." I have been a lurker for a long time, reading the hilarious and touching adventures and mis-adventures of friends and, in turn, their friends. I have discovered some amazing people along the way, and been put in touch with some great resources. Now I am not, repeat NOT, going to do this every day (sure...I say that now!) but this is as good a place as any for me to rant, rave, and generally remain in high dugeon. I picked the title because I felt it was a good theme for living, although I am famous for my high decible level. So....welcome, enjoy. And don't forget the ear plugs.
