Hi Sandra....I started using this handle about 9 years ago when I first got on the net and when I first came to the 'Cat. My name is really Pat Patterson but under Spaw here you can find not only that but the better part of my life's history, my thoughts on just about any damn thing and even some really gross stuff regarding my health.

You see, not too long after I came here I ran into some serious near-death health issues and the folks I had met here were vital in helping me pull through. I've had several others since then and everytime I can count on my fellow 'Catters. My point is that we all have gotten to know each other over the years and this is a friendly place. In the past couple of years we've also had a lot of growth that has sadly attracted some slimey jerks and the like who have as their main goal, making trouble, trolling, flaming, complaining, etc.Try to just ignore them and enjoy what the site has to offer which is a bit of a cyber-village atmosphere and a lot of good music and fun.

WELCOME TO THE MUDCAT CAFE !!!

btw....A Mudcat is a catfish so in the river kind of theme and just generally cute/dumb thing for a name based on your real one......How about SandyBottom?
