Some, or maybe all, of you have probably been wondering who the uppity new guy is who's been horning in with posts without introducing himself. Just another fella out here livin' life the best I can, like y'all appear to be, I reckon is the answer.
I can't recall exactly where I got the link to here, maybe from Kim du Toit's or Lawdog's blog. I'm fairly sure it was one of them, though. I lurked and read a little before jumping in, and apologize for doing so without introducing myself first, I was enjoying the byplay so much I forgot my manners.
I'm a husband and father who came to be both relatively late in life, three children so far and there might be more in the future but "just not anytime soon" as my lovely wife, whom I call Miss Priss when online, has told me. I'm a veteran of the US Army (as I've posted about), a mechanized infantryman many moons ago who wanted to be an Airborne Ranger, but being a callow youth I didn't know how to work Uncle for the things I wanted and so got took by him and spent my enlistment as a track toad. Ah well, c'est la vie c'est la guerre, eh?
I note some fine senses of humor here, and some insightful posts. I hope I can add something worthwhile.

Turn around and leave, while you still can. This place is full of unsavory folks.

これだけではちんぷんかんぷんな話をすべきだ。

Welcome new guy, I'll have what Viking is having!

No, I live in the Southern suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. Kim's area of Texas is on my short list of places to move to, though, when I have it together enough to get my family away from the hellhole my hometown is becoming.

I don't have any firearms (yet) so I'd either have to throw them really hard at people, or build something from scratch. In that case, I'll have four cases of 9mm.

Heeyyyy, we DID forget the ammo!
Good thing one of us is on the ball.

I'm kind of holding the monopoly on the French language here,
so you owe me a glass of red wine.
Oh, and bienvenue !

Merci beaucoup, M. du Var.

Howdy!!!
Outside of Atlanta?
I frequent Savannah.

Welcome aboard!
I have an Uncle Bubba. When I was little I had a hard time saying his name, when I would try to say it it sounded like "Bubba", so that's what he has been ever since.

Cool! I have a fourteen-months-older sister who couldn't pronounce "brother" when I was born. I've been Bubba to her and our Mama ever since. When Sister's first child, a girl, was born I was very surprised and very pleased when I walked into the room to see her for the first time and my sister said, "Your Uncle Bubba's here to see you." Until I became a family man and heard "Daddy" addressed to me, Uncle Bubba was the appellation I was proudest of.
