Just wanted to post an official "hello" since I made my first post here earlier this afternoon. I've been an occasional lurker around here for the past year or so, but I'm just now able to post.

I'm from eastern North Carolina and have been a quadriplegic coming up on 25 years this Christmas 2009. I was 16 years old when I flipped my father's truck (piece of crap Ford!) and that's about that, for that.

I hope this was the right place to post this?

Look forward to getting to know my way around,

Greg

Once again I would just like to say thank you to everyone for the warm welcome.

Hopefully I can think of something worth saying soon, otherwise it'll be just like I'm not here. :D

I'm sure you'll manage something!

The Boring Thread's always a fun place to post. And there's a few good older threads with kind of getting-to-know-you themes. Then again, you could always go for one of the controversial threads about religion, or, if thread-jacked, Scrumpy Jack.
