    How did you hear about frugal village?
    Google's my best friend :-)

    What interests you here?
    I've been reading frugal village for weeks, and learned a lot. Not only about money management, arts & crafts, frugal cooking, but also about cultural differences.

    What will you contribute?
    Sometimes I might be able to provide an outsider's perspective (something that can be quite helpful at times). I know a couple of things about frugal vegetarian cooking, too.
    If anybody thinks he or she is crazy for spending most of his/her income on useless stuff like books, higher education (and then some more and some more and some more), conferences, and scholarly journals, I might serve as an even worse case (If you're nuts, it can help to know somebody even nuttier than you are )

    Do you know any other members here?
    Nope. Only lurking-wise.

    How many kids? Ages?
    None.

    Tell us about yourself.
    That's such a general question that it's really difficult to decide what I'm going to write here. I'm female, in my mid-to-end-20ies, live in Central Europe, have been a vegetarian for a decade and a half, and I'm horribly bibliophile. I consider "nerd" to be a compliment.

    Do you own any pets?
    A slightly mentally imbalanced cat believes it owns me.

    Occupation?
    Instructional design & teaching at university (part-time, temp, no job-security at all). I'm also a student (MA and phD).

    Married or single?
    Married.

    Interests and hobbies?
    Language and literature, working with gifted kids and teens. Books. More books. Did I mention books?

    Glücklich, dass jemand aus Deutschland bei uns! Ich schrieb auf Französisch, weil die meisten Leute schreiben ein paar Sprache in Europa. Ich bin ursprünglich aus Kanada. Willkommen in der Community!

    Ich bin mit Google zu dieser Art, würde ich wahrscheinlich klingen wie eine spanische Kuh, wenn ich jemals versucht sprechen Ihre Sprache!

    Wie ist das Wetter in Nürnberg?

    @Gabe: LOL! You've made my day!
    It's cold but dry in Nuremberg today. At least that's what Google told me - I live 300 miles away
