Hello everyone.  I'm new to the forums and wanted to say howdy.  My name is Andrea and I'm from Texas.  I usually describe myself as: Mom, Cat Butler, Grammar Police, Lego Enthusiast, Card Collector, and Software Engineer.

I write webapps to support clinical research and bioinformatics at the UT Health Science Center.  I'm your basic t-shirt and jeans girl who loves chocolate, muscle cars, RPN calculators, Lego minifigs, and cards.  My favorite quote is by Harlan Ellison: "The two most common elements in the Universe are Hydrogen...and Stupidity."

I've been collecting cards for several years now.  And I have loved playing card games since I was a little girl when my grandmother taught me how to play poker, canasta, euchre, hearts, spades, 31, and crazy 8s.

Most of the decks in my collection are pinned to this board:

Later this year, I hope to have them on display in my house instead of tucked away in drawers.

Happy to be aboard and looking forward to making friends here!

Dang, that's quite a resume.

You'll find many cardaholics here, and hundreds of reasons to be broke.

Welcome to the forums, Andrea :D

Welcome aboard.  You'll find we're generally a pretty friendly bunch here and we don't (usually) bite...  :))

Take a peek at the top of the Playing Card Plethora - there's a topic called the "New Deck Report and Archive" that might be of interest to you.  As Alex said, hundreds of reasons to be broke, listed 52 at a time...  :))

Welcome, PrincessTrouble!

I'm neither a Mom nor a Lego enthusiast, but other than that, our CVs are quite similar.

Enjoy the boards,
