Guest Tranquility Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 My wife, Night Elf, told me that there are only a few men who post on this board. I have never participated on a homeschool board before, but she thinks I'd like this one. We've been homeschooling for about 8 years, I think, and I'm fairly active in the kids education. Just wanted to introduce myself a bit. Martin Do I need a more manly avatar? My wife did that! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Welcome aboard. Dads are always welcome. I like the username but I really want to know if she suggested the avatar as well and if so if she has informed you about certain board venacular regarding tea. Anyway, feel free to jump in. A male perspective is always helpful and interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wolfcubs Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 As a member of a gamer family (though no one is currently playing WoW), your wife has one of my favorite board names! Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Welcome! We need a bigger Men's Club here--I so enjoy posts by Plaid Dad, Spy Car, and the Rugeert (I KNOW that's not spelled right!) as well as the other dads. And I have a suspicion that your wife knew exactly what she was doing, choosing a tea set as your avatar...Have her tell you about booKs, too...:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katilac Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Do I need a more manly avatar? My wife did that! :) You don't need a more manly one - no one on this board thinks tea is unmanly - but you might want one that will cause less giggling among us. Yes, we are referencing a board joke and channelling our inner 12-year-olds, sorry! :D. Welcome! We are probably nearing half-a-dozen men who are regular posters, and more who mostly lurk.
