I have been online going on 3 years now, I got started when my kids wanted me to hook up for them, now I am a confirmed addict, my 16 year old son is running an online business, RAPID WORLD COMPUTER SOLUTIONS,  in Webpage Design, Computer Sales online Tutoring. My daughter just married this summer, 25 is living and teaching in Calgary. Derek is a DJ with a Calgary radio station, they too have ventured into the the world of business called CD ENTERTAINMENT. I have been married for 30 years to the same gal who has put up with my antics all that time..*LOL*  That is about it for me except the age thing, 51 and no grandkids to spoil yet!!  *grrrrrrrrrr* When I am not online you will find me either walking, swimming or playing golf. I have been with the GeoCities Community Leader Program for about two years and have thus far very much enjoyed it. If you need any assistance, I can help with with HTML, GeoBuilder, Advanced Editor, Corel WP, FTP programs, Tables, Frames, Uploading, Windows 95 and what I can't help with I will find someone who can.

Donna, (1000-1499)

My name is Donna and I have been married for 7 years to a wonderful man named Don--Don and Donna, isn't that cute!!  We have two wonderful, but very challenging kids: Nicholas and Meghan.  Boy, are these two too smart for their own good!  Nicholas is 5 and Meg will be 3 in February.  I am a full-time college student, majoring in computer programming, and work as a student assistant in the computer lab at school.  I built the web page for the PTK chapter I am in at school,
view it at http://www.oocities.org/CollegePark/Library/4465. Because I love doing that and love building web pages, I figured that Geocities would be a good place to put in some volunteer work and gain experience in my field.  I have had the time of my life creating my web pages and wanted to share that fun with others.  My original major was Nursing, and I still get some funny looks when I mention what I switched too!  But my family knows where they can find me, so it seemed logical to combine my love for the computer with a career.  I got my first computer, a 'state-of-the-art' 486/50 for Christmas 1993.  From that humble beginning, we have moved on to having two computers, both Pentium II/350, and use one for the kids to play on!  I am not too outgoing with my writing, tending to lurk on my mailing lists, but once you get me started I am hard to stop (witness this bio, LOL!!!). 
I am thrilled to be here in Cottage and hanging with the coconuts!  I am not sending Graham a picture, but if you are very brave, you can see me and all my kids (hubby included!) at http://www.oocities.org/Heartland/6078.
If you find yourself in need of help, I can assist in Windows W3.1, W95, W98 Browsers: MSIE 4.x, Netscape 4.5, Editors: Geo Basic, Geo Advanced, HTML, Front Page 98, , EZ Upload, help with: PSP, Photoshop Deluxe, Corel Draw, ICQ, Outlook 98, Outlook Express, MS Office, AOL, Eudora and Scanning.

Jessica,  (1500-1999)

My name is Jessica, my membername for GeoCities is momjess, and on ICQ I am Zena.  And sometimes I have as many personalities to go with my different names.  :-)  I am a married, mom of two girls.  The oldest, Brittany, is my child from a previous relationship, she is 5 and started Kindergarten this year.  The youngest, Morgan, is 18 months and very definately her fathers child.  The girls have their own page at  EnchantedForest/Palace/6132/. When I am not on the computer, I am either playing with the girls or loving my 3 cats, sometimes just spending time with my husband.  However, if I am not on the computer then my husband usually is!  :-)
If you need any other info just let me know.

Have fun!

Paula,  (2000-2499)

Hi, my name is Paula, also known on the net as crackermoore. I live in a small village in Texas called Jones Creek with my three adorable children, ages 6, 5, and 3. I have "lived" in Heartland Bluffs for almost one year now. I started this adventure on 13 July 1998, and have enjoyed every minute
of it. I have been a CL now for 9 months and have learned a lot from the wonderful people I work with.

I am self taught HTML gal  and can help with a variety of things ranging from forms, tables, and any html questions. I am also well versed with the ins and outs of GedCom files. I serve on these GeoCities committees--Award of Excellence, Heartland Hallmarks, Foreign Language, Heartland Genealogy
Society, Critique and Review, Heart of the City, CLAPPS, Heartland Carnival, Heartland Select, and I am GeoCities mentor. I am also a CL over in Plains, Fields, Hills and Ranch. I am happy to be over here in Cottage.

Eveline,  (2500-2999)

I'm 48 years old, married, and live in a small village in the middle of vineyards, south of Vienna, Austria. My husband and I are both working in a large telecommunication company for more than 20 years. I'm quality manager for software development, mainly for ISDN and Intelligent Networks for phoning. Since 2 years I'm responsible for the Intranet of my department. Our main hobby is breeding cats. And if some time besides all computer and software stuff is still left, I like to make some needleworks and bobbin lacing. I'm also playing the organ. We both are fans of the mountains and so we spend some holidays climbing up the mountains.

I joined Geocities Heartland in 1996 and I'm still enjoying to be there. I've meet a lot of nice people, and Geocities gives us the great opportunity to learn about a lot of new techniques, graphics, software, and so on. I'm really an Internet fan, this is for us a great source of all kinds of information, and to meet a lot of nice people all around the world. So enjoy and have fun, staying in Geocities.

Teresalynn,  (3500-3999) 

I have been married to Andy for 36 years, mother of 3 grown children, and grandmother to 3. I live on the front range of Colorado in the shadow of the mountains. I am still employed fulltime as an executive secretary for a public school district. Retirement is on the horizon, I'm just not quite sure yet how close the horizon is. I've been online for over two years now, love computers and the internet, and
enjoy online volunteer work, which I have been involved with before. Paint Shop Pro is my computer passion, and I'm always looking for time to work on my homepage which you can see here. http://www.oocities.org/Heartland/Meadows/4755

When we have free time to spend away from home we are often out in the Colorado Rockies in our travel trailer. Our dog and two cats are also considered members of our family and have very distinct personalities. They all travel in the trailer with us and tend to run the show. Life is so interesting, with a new and fun challenge around every corner, so let's go forth and make webpages.

:-) Let me know if I can help you.

BeckyJ  (6500-6999)

My name is BeckyJ and I have been married to the most wonderful man ind the world for almost 6 years now.  Together we have 5 children...kind of a "yours, mine and ours" situation.  I had one (daughter - 11), he had two (sons 10 and 9) and WE had two (daughter - 6 and son - 5).  So my life here at home keeps me pretty busy.  When I'm not wiping noses and doing homework I love to be on the
internet.  Since I first got online February of 97, I have learned so much. All I know about web design and graphics...you name it.  Enough to help out Geocities and become a Community Leader for the second time around (Heartland/Cottage 6500-6999) and also start my own business in web design and
desktop publishing.

Geocities has been a wonderful place for my "home on the web".  I have met so many nice and wonderful people since I began my stay here and continue to meet more every day.  So if you need anything, don't hesitate to call on me and if I don't know the answers to your questions, we'll have fun learning it together!

Meghan  (7500-7999),(7250-7499) & (9500-9749)

I live in Cleveland, Ohio and I am a full-time student.  When I am finished with school, I hope to have a degree in either Psychology or Computer Applications.  I have been on-line for a little over one year now.  In that time I have taught myself everything I know about HTML and I have become
totally addicted to the wonderful world of computers and web pages. 

When I am not online, I spend my time writing poetry, reading, or playing the piano. I also have many animals that I love, including 8 ferrets.  They are just the loves of my life! 

Ever since I moved into my Heartland Home back in April 1998, I have loved my experience at GeoCities as well as all the nice people that I have met. Somewhere around October, I decided to become a Community Leader to give back to all the people that made me feel so welcome in my new home.  Among several committees that I belong to, I am a Community Leader in both Heartland/Cottage and Heartland/Acres.  I have recently become an HTML Instructor at Heartland
University.

Yours Truly, 
Meghan
