Method of Madness:
:roll:

Eris:
I get that it was supposed to be a joke, yes, but it wasn't a very good one.

Method of Madness:
I don't think Gareth was joking.

Carl-E:
Gareth is never joking. 

At least, not about being hot.   :wink:

So... my real first name is Carl.  The E has nothing to do with anything (although Carl-A through Carl-D might have something to say about that  :-P)

I'm a former math professor who, by being bad at academic politics has lost a ridiculous number of teaching positions.  I'm currently working three part time jobs, including teaching online, working at a beer distributor and freelance writing of high school math materials.  I've survived being hit by a car (two years ago December 3rd), and hitting a bear (the bear survived, too, but the car didn't). 

I'm married with two daughters who are your age, 20 and 23.  The younger one was hit with thyroid cancer at 16, and was left with a rare neurological disorder and massive internal paralysis.  The older suffers from PTSD and depression after being attacked in her dorm room in her first semester of college (the same year as her sister getting ill).  She now works full time doing online tech support, and has abandoned her music. 

I've been here since August '09, (just before all of the stuff above happened) and remember seeing many of you from the old days, though I was a n00b and I'm sure you never noticed.  I mostly lived "upstairs" and rarely wandered into the lower regions of the forum, but grew braver over time. 

This is me; I like to eat and drink.   :-D



Sometimes, I dress like my dog



Avatars I've used; you may recognize these.  You may not. 







I don't change them very often... four avatars in four years isn't bad, though.  But I think I'll stick with this one, it suits me. 

ChaoSera:
Holy crap Carl, you look just like my uncle. This is kinda weird. :psyduck:
