re-introducing myself

Hi, I'm Scott from Chicago. I've actually been a member for some time now but have been so busy I go days or weeks at a time without even turning on my computer so I thought it wise to re-introduce myself. This started as a way for me to get out of debt and after that happened I continued scrapping as a hobby and now I'm addicted(had a conflict between girlfriend andd scrapping/scrapping won). I typically scrap cans as I live 5 mins. from a forest preserve where there are a lot of company picnics and I also love scrapping out of the dumpster at my apartment complex where I'll find an array of small appliances and other electronic items and I'll get stuff from my full time job when our maintenance dept. does a job. Now that my boss has found out how much I make on the side he's my competition but the workers still put the stuff on the side for me. In any case now that I'm single again I'm happy to be here and look forward to telling about my scrapping escapades and reading about everyone elses.

yes, its kind of funny because my ex makes a significantly better salary at her job than I do yet between my job and scrapping on the side I got 6 grand more in the bank than she does, now I'm saving up to buy a small house or condo. So the politically correct way of describing our departure is that we had different views of money. It sure is good to be back.
