Title: Intro - Puebles
Post by: Puebles on November 04, 2012, 08:32:04 AM
Hello all,

My handle is Puebles. A nickname accidentally given to me by a dear departed friend 34 years ago: I miss you Tony.

I begain playing UO about 14 years ago. I played for about 3 years and loved the game. However, my children were young and I really had to make a choice. A very tough one indeed.

After a break of nearly 7 years I came back to UO four years ago, interesting changes. I think they are mostly for the good. Best part is I get to tell "when I first played...." stories to my guildmates. They play well with my "When I was your age...." stories. Oh, and bad jokes....some very bad.

You might have guessed that I am no spring chicken. I will celebrate my 50th this month. I am married and have three children, all in college. I am not sure about this generation of theirs...not one of my kids plays any kind of video/computer games. Kids these days!

I do have a tendancy to make knee-jerk reactions; like bypassing the READ ME FIRST posts and ICQing Cerveza asking why I cannot download?....ah...sorry :-X. The good thing is that I am capable of learning and I do some programming on the side. Not enough to claim to be a programmer. But, I am interested in learning how to script. I have altered scripts, usually to update for use with gargoyles.

I have been using scripts for the past four years from that other site. Some have been useful. But, from what I read, this is the site I need to be using.

So, I hope that Cerveza can forgive my indiscretion...and the rest will accept me.

BTW, How cool is Trailmyx's GIF....I watch that often. I guess at my advanced age it is the little things.....

Heh, you ICQed Cerveza?!?!?!  I kinda feel silly unrestricting you because he wields a large BanHammer.  eheh

Anyhow, thanks for the introduction!  What was the foundation for the name "Puebles" anyhow?

Welcome to the site!

Well I have learned a few things over the years............one is that it doesn't hurt to admit your ignorance and ask for forgiveness/help.

Woot!

Trailmyx.............My older brother gave me and my friends new knicknames all the time. I mean, like daily. He was currently calling me Pebbles and decided to start calling me Pooh Bear. Tony lauged and said, "What next Pooh Bulls?" It was an immediate hit. I modified the spelling a bit.

Great to be aboard. Promise not to jerk that knee anymore.
