Welcome.

Hey all, I realize that a lot of our newer (i.e. the last 1-2 years) members may not be familar with Tammy, a.k.a. monkeygirl, but she is a former, long time staff member here and a great contributor to the community, as well as a friend of mine. I just found out, last night, that she was recently engaged. A big congratulations to her and her fiancé - I'm really happy for them. Anyway, I thought it'd be nice to start a thread here to congratulate them. After a while, I'll pass her the link so she can stop by and check it out. Thanks, Patrick

I don't know if we have any Phillies fans here, but in any case, congrats to the Phillies and their fans!
