"Hay", my name is Thomas Muniak Sr. I live near Geneva Ohio I lovingly call Hooterville. This is why I greet people with "hay". It is a great area, but my move from the city, Cleveland, to the country took some getting use to. Especially the utilities, or lack of them. I designed and built my own log home. It was an experience that I will NEVER forget. But I often try.
METT stands for the members of my family MIllie (Milagro), Erica, Thomas Jr. and me Thomas Sr. It was the first to many domains I bought.
I'm a retired cop, from a college, (YES a real police office state certified just like city cops, but actually more jurisdiction). With my retirement came a massive life change. And I'm still adjusting to changes. Looking for a hobby I started to collect sports cards and spent way to much from 1998-2002. That got me on ebay, and I met some great guys and gals on the "Trading Card Board" of ebay. I now have well over 500,000 cards.
Then somehow I started to get back into my animals, as I worked at an exotic pet shop as a kid 1992-1980. Life is strange. I worked there for about 6 years until my back issues just made it impossible. It got me out of the house, and I'll really miss that, plus my great customers. I do try to get in once in a while but not like I use to. They (Parma Pets) specialize in reptiles, but do a few other things. And over the last few years I have collected a few birds, most as rescues. And chat in a few herp forums as HerpZillA.
At this time, I have 9 birds now. I use to have a bunch of reptiles, and that may return? We have 1 dog, 4 cats, 2 great kids, and the best wife in the world, just one.) My reptile collection is empty at this time. Well one snake I caught in Texas, but she will be shipped to a friend back in Texas soon. Concentrating on psittacines for now. That would be parrots. But I will probably get a few reptiles again.
