Hello

Hey everybody!

I am Rob, I live in Florida and I'm currently starting my major in history. I work full time and go to school full time so it’s rough. But I got to pay for college some how

I was amazed to find a place where there people (other then myself) that enjoyed talking about politics and world events.

Welcome to the SS WAB. There are some who suspect the steering is broken, but we seem to be able to get to most places. Enjoy your stay.

Post Hello

Hello mates, My name is sathiya jeganathan (shortened to Jay) from United Kingdom. A student of history and a guard in British Rail. Originally from India and still. I found this great site and I would like to deliver my thanks for the moderators whoever have made this site, a truly wonderful one to discuss our matters that's taunting us today. Please note my user name (Fuhrer) has nothing to do with Mr. Adolf Hitler and it means "a leader" in Germany as I am learning German in addition to Tamil and English. Hope to see you soon as we catch up. It's been a pleasure to be a part of you all.

Thanks
sincerely
J

Welcome, Rob.

It is an interesting site.

It is a bit quixotic. Sometimes the posts come fast and thick and sometimes goes into hibernation like a bear in winter! Even so, one can't help but keeping checking whenever one spins the computer on. Very addictive.
