  Just a quick note about yourself, how you found Isara, your interests or hobbies, or anything else you care to share with us.
  
  Welcome to the site and have fun!

  Hi, I'm Ginafish. One of the first Isara Members. I like walks on beaches with no seaweed... ;D
  
  I'm a happily married stay-at-home mom of two. My oldest entered kindergarten this year and my youngest plays well independently and still naps, so I get to check on Isara on a frequent basis. Woohoo!
  
  I live in central Arkansas in the US. I have a degree in Mass Communications which leads to my love of the internet, tv, movies, music, books, magazines, photography...
  
  I found Isara through pk's other site laundryday.com which I stumbled on one day looking for either a webcam site, or laundry tips. ;)

  Uh, My name's Hunter, and I'm an Isaran..... ;)
  
  So to follow the train of thought, I am 26, I live in eastern Kansas and I'm a business manager/IT guy/Janitor/groundskeeper/warehouseman/anything else for a residential water purification company (yeah, water softeners.) I also try to run another business, DASArcAngel, which is responsible for the multimedia and web development for the other company and any one else. Kinda of a hobby gone commercial.
  
  Um, no degree. Went to college, but couldn't understand why I was paying to learn how to take a class. I've been in technologies for 16 years.
  
  Hobbies for me are media design, efficiency planning, robotics, hunting, and military arts.
  
  BTW, very happily married to my beautiful wife Heather, who is also a member. :)
  Anything else you'd like to know?

  Hi, I'm Thartley.... I live in Florida, I have a job, a daughter, and a crazy life. I was introduced to Isara on a film makers forum.... Hello?? You can't start a post like this and not participate! I'm KitKat...I have 3 boys (one is PK, another is ZeroG, another is MIA) and 6 grandkids with #7 on the way (Thanks GetAmanda!). Happily married for umpteen years (time flies with GWiz) and I own an everlasting store in Texas that sells my own jewelry line.. Am I going to have to do this for everyone??? I just might if you don't watch out!! Hi, I'm PK, and I like monkeys and don't like squirrels. I live in Thailand teaching engrish to foreigners who call me "Helmet Guy". I do nice things for people and talk in the third person alot. I discovered Isara through the dvx forum. Oh wait, that's not right. I am the creator and intelligent designer ;) of Isara.org.  (hehe, since he won't be back for another 12 hours, he has an excuse...where are the rest of your bios/how you got to Isara stories?) If I see another 3 members come by Isara and not participate, I'll start writing their bios too!! You've been forewarned!  :D :D ;D ;D

  My name is Bill and my youngest brother runs this web site.
  
  I was born in 1961 and I have three kids (James - 1992, Mary - 1994, Rachel - 1997). I recently married Amanda and now have two step daughters (Laurel - 1993, Emily - 1996). Amanda and I are expecting a baby boy (Graham - 2007) in May.
  
  I have a B.S. in Computing Science from Sam Houston State University. I work as a technical consultant for a software division of a large international oilfield services corporation in Houston, TX.
  
  I fill my spare time, telling my kids it is time for bed and running errands to get things that "Graham wants." I also play poker online and I am developing my own poker results database web site.

  HA!  Ginafish, close... knew PK as "Isara" since 2004 on another forum...was around when the first "Let's go get some helmets!" battlecry was sounded, and then watched as things evolved.  :)
  
  Many moons later, I got a message from one of our more elusive members, an invitation to come play.  ;)  And here I am.
  
  I do not like long walks on the beach, cuz there's never a bathroom when you need one.  :)
  
  I like peace and quiet, probably because I never have either.
  
  Currently, I am quite suspicious of all things paper machet.

  I'll make one addition, Gwiz and I just celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary. ;D :-*

  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!  Wow, now that's something to aspire to!  I dont think, at this point, I will live long enough to celebrate a 46th wedding anniversary...mainly because I'm not married! heh!

  I first heard about Isara when I visited PK in Nongkhai in October, 2005. Woohoo! I had no idea, at that time, what it really was. He was just in the process of launching Isara.  ;D

  I didn't know there were so many family ties in here, that's very awesome.
  
  I am Jane and I found out about Isara through my boyfriend (TC) who also introduced me to DVXuser which is where I'd "seen" PK before.  I've watched Isara grow and it's very neato to see!
  
  I am 22 and I currently go to UC Santa Barbara and am working on my Bachelors in Communications and Film & Media Studies. I love music, people-watching, photography, movies, animation, crafts, painting, drawing, writing, reading, sleep and so much more.
  
  Glad to hear a bit about all of you! Take care.

  Sawasdee ka. I'm Ming. I'm Isara member in Nongkhai, Thailand.
  I met PK two years ago and have been helping him with projects ever since.
  
  I'm 22 and I have a degree of foreign languages (Japanese and English) but......I still need some help! ;D
  
  My family is in Nongkhai. I have 2 sisters. And I love Isara. :-*

  Okay, I'm Esther.  Nice to know more about you all.  I live in Montreal, Quebec.  And I love my city.  I enjoy playing table games and drinking bubble tea.  I don't like vacuum cleaners and hand-washable clothes.  I found out about Isara through DPChallenge, I think.  Oh yes, I studied translation in university and now I do that all week in a cubicle.  Fun fun.

  Lambie83 - What's bubble tea?
  
  Hunter and Hayden - how did you learn about Isara?
  
  Jane - when are you going to post some of your paintings in the photo gallery?
  
  :) :) :)
  
  edit: I didn't scroll all the way up the page when looking for missing answers. :)
  
  Now...where's Horsefilms, Brandon, Heather, Pepperland, Darth....Larry, Facundo, Hmd, GWiz, Momof5, DWR, Dr. Love, DJ298s8sd??, and all the other 537 registered members??
  
  And I'm kind of scared to ask...where's Pookies bio/how I meet Isara story?  :D

  My goodness I miss alot when I'm not on for 12 hours! Since Ginafish didn't say anything about how I didn't say how I learned about Isara, I probably won't tell you that I got an invite from my brother-in-law to check it out, though he seems to mysteriously not be an active member. I'm told he set it as his homepage though. GetAmanda - I'm surprised you haven't conned ZeroG into moving your computer, or atleast getting you a wireless connection - Tell him Graham wants it. :)

  Now that I've edited my previous post, new question just for Hunter! :) Which username is your brother-in-law, and how did he find out about Isara?

  That's a great question, Ginafish! First, I don't believe he is even a member. Second, I haven't got a clue. Many times he and I will stumble upon something great on the net and send a note to the other to check it out.

  My name is Dr. Love and I am a psychologist who specializes in relationships and air conditioning repair. I am happily married to my secretary. It is my 7th marriage.
  
  I discovered Isara during one of my sessions with a deeply psychotic individual. After placing my patient in a hypnotic state, and delving deep into the subconscious, I asked him a series of questions. Strangely, all his answers were the same. "Isara. Isara. Isara."
  
  After doing some research I came across this site and I'm in the process of discovering why Isara.org made my patient insane, in hopes of a cure. So far the only clue I have is a mysterious member named, "Pookie."

  Hi, I'm Horse (aka Ryan Gohlinghorst). I came to this site from DVXuser.com where I've had the pleasure of hanging with PK for quite some time.
  
  I'm 30, live in Mankato (south central), Minnesota with my girlfriend Allison. I have a degree in Mass Communications from Minnesota State University.
  
  I'm a horror movie fanatic. Every once in awhile I get around to shooting one. I also play guitar when I find the time. I've been known to have a drink every now and then, as well.

  Pat52 here. I'm not 52 nor was I born in the year 52. I live in the Southern United States. I like helmets and think everyone should have one. Especially people who ride something without doors.
  
  I like Macs, but don't like to talk shop much since I'm with Macs and PCs all day. I like loud music, and classical.
  
  Found out about Isara during the riding campaign around Thailand, and I like to support good causes and see new links. You all seem like nice people to hang with, so when I can, I come by.  :)

  Hello, my name is Heather, and I'm a crafting junkie *everyone 'Hello Heather'*
  My hubby told me about Isara, and I really didn't have the time to join, but one day I decided to give it a go. I was hooked. Even though there are times that I can't get on, (and I have severe sweats until I can log on) I still love it here. I'm a wife and I have the worlds 2 cutest cats. I love to clean, crochet, craft, sew, and read. Thank you *sits down and passes the mike to the next addict*
