warm greetings from Estonia

Finally got some time to log on and be polite and introduce myself here.

I'm a new squirrel here. I joined dGeek a couple of days before it went down. What a timing heh!

I've already 'met' some of you on twitter and i want to thank you for welcoming me to the squirrel family. Very Happy

enough with the ramblings ... see you all around the forum.

cheers,
maarja

Hi animallover

Thanks for the welcome.

well Estonia is a very (i mean very) small country in Europe, it's one of the Baltic countries. Easiest way to find it is just to use google maps. But otherwise - it's close to Russia (to the East from Estonia), Finland (North) and Latvia (South). These 3 are our closest (geographically) neighbors.

Oh! Now I know where you are! Thanks for explaining it! What language is spoken there? How did you find David's site & this site? Glad you found us here! Smile

We have our own language it's called estonian. We use Latin alphabet but we have few extra letters of our own - like õ ö ä ü.

Ok i think it happened´something like that:
1) i was looking for a information about A Dog's Breakfast and found his site. (I still haven't seen the movie - waiting for my dvd from the Amazon).
2) joined the forum there, started to write a message on the board a couple of times (every time my work interfered) and then the dGeek was down Razz

3) on twitter found TehKimber- started to follow her there and she tweeted about me Razz

4) Bushy_miniGeek let me know about this site
..... and so here i am

Very Happy

Hey, Maar!

Most people know me just as Bushy, so you can call me that. I just added the "_miniGeek" part so it would catch the attention Squirrels who aren't following me and don't know how to get to miniGeek. (My tweets aren't protected, so they all appear on the public timeline.)

Hope you have a fun time here!
