Title: New Sly Guy from TX
Post by: SubVet on April 14, 2007, 04:29:57 PM
Hi guys. I've visited this site once or twice in the last month and have been lurking here for a while this afternoon. I decided it was time to take the plunge. I've been a sly guy for about 30 min. Believe me, it wasn't an easy step. But it's a done deal now. My wife hasn't even seen me yet. I've told her I wanted to do this some day and she has been very supportive. She doesn't know yet that today is THE day.

I'm a retired Navy Senior Chief (Submarines) and have been a management consultant for the last seven years. My wife and I live in Kingwood, TX. I wanted to thank you guys for helping me make the big decision. Now all I need to do is get through tomorrow! I'll post a picture once I figure out how to do that. Thanks again.

Mark

Hi guys (& gal),

Thanks for the warm welcome. My wife's reaction was priceless. I was wearing a ball cap when she came home from work. I took her by the hand and led her into my office telling her I had to show her something. I had my first post in this thread up on the computer with my picture showing. She asked me who that was. I asked her, "You don't know?". She said "No". I told her to take a closer look, then took off my hat while standing behind her. She still didn't know and turned around to ask me who it was. She busted out laughing. I really got her good. She had no idea I was even thinking about doing that right now. She does like the look.

I haven't gotten a lot of feedback yet from my friends other than that initial look of shock. Oh well, they will get used to it. I'm still trying to get used to it myself. I have been working from home this week, so my clients and colleages haven't seen me yet with the sly look. I'll let you know if I get any funny reactions.  ;D

Mark

That's funny Mark.  Do you find that you can't stop rubbing your own head?  I'm guilty your honor.

Welcome Mark! I agree with Rob...wearing our "covers" all the time doesn't help much either... @#07
