Who is Kathy

Kathy is a hockey fan, a Where's Georger and a message board junkie. Kathy is also GoalieAunt. And some of you may know me better as ezGoalieAunt, one of the ezmods. On yuku I decided to go by Kathy.

If you ask to add me to your friends list and I deny your request, it's because I am limiting my friends to people that I know well, either in real life or from various boards online. I also prune my friends list from time to time.


I do have a request. When you send me a private message, please change the subject. It will make it easier to sort personal PMs from help requests if I can glance and see what the PM is about. It's hard to find the right PM when they all say Hello.

Wheres George

I am a Where's George? addict. image

You can view my George page to learn more about me and about WG?

For those unfamiliar with WG?, think of it as a tag & release program. Bills are captured, their vital statistics entered into a database and released back into the wild. Hopefully they will be found again and updates on their migration will be entered. We Georgers refer to the process as EMS (enter, mark, spend) and those EMSd bills that we find as Wilds. If you find a wild WG? bill, please consider entering it. You will make someone very happy, may be even me. If you register, you will be notified when the bill is "hit" again.

I enjoy seeing where my bills end up. I have hits in all 50 states and the District of Columbia as well has hits in 6 of the 7 continents.

Some of my goals for 2007 are to get 50 state bingo (a hit in all 50 states, will be hard since Delaware is a figment of the imagination)
Reached 4-9-07, Texas Panhandle bingo Reached 3-30-07 . Reach 100,000 bills entered Reached 9-11-07.

Long terms goals are to complete some state county bingos (at least one hit in every county in a state). Texas (have 222 of 254), New Mexico (31 of 33), Oklahoma (73 of 77) and Arizona (13 of 15).

I'm also like to use my Hits by County map to see how far I could travel just by using the counties where I have hits. Counties that just touch at the corner don't count. I can get to the Pacific going west, and across to Georgia and the Florida Panhandle going east.
I can get to Mexico, but Canada is still several counties away. I also like to see if I can cross a state (both east-west and north-south).

What is yuku

On the difference between ezboard and yuku

From alison

Imagine you have your kitchen redone. It's still a kitchen, but there are slight changes in how it's put together. There is a cupboard that used to open to the right, but it now it opens to the left. And you keep going to try and open it from the wrong side. At first that drives you crazy. But once you get used to it it never bothers you. And you realise that it's more logical to open the way it does now anyway, since you have more access without having to bend around the door. And also keep going to where the cooker used to be, but the sink is now there. Which isn't annoying really, since now you have a dishwasher and you didn't before, and cooker is on the other side because it's wider than it was and has 7 hobs instead of 4. So overall, once you get used to it - it's the same, but more practical, and better!
