Works for me!

"Hi, we're from the Government, and we're here to help you!" :evil2:

Of course, that's literally true in my family... the hubby and I both work for the great State of Texas, and our son is a Fed..... :smilelol5:

Welcome to the forum - Love your intro!

Just a guess from the explanation of her username, but I would guess "Quia" to mean something like, "because."
Yep!

I'm enjoying this thread....

"quid ni" is Latin for "why not".

There's a rambling, non-firearms-related story as to how that became my usual handle. Short version, Quidni is the name I gave to a ferret I adopted some years ago. Because of her, I got involved in animal rescue for a few years, and folks called me the "why not ferrets lady."
