APRIL ROLL CALL

Well, here we are again! Seems like we are getting lots of new faces and I'm having a too many "senior moments" to remember everyone's situations and names these days, lol!


With April being my favorite time of year I thought I'd kick off this roll call and let us get familiar with each other and again welcome the new!

I couldn't even move to another city right now, let alone another state.

Welcome out of lurk mode!!!


Lurking 3 years? Wow....glad you came out :o)


I have to say that I found your ROLL CALL info inspiring. Something about the things you wrote- you sound like you are in a good space with yourself, and that you've learned the lesson of appreciating life- everyday.


I enjoyed reading your intro post. I hope you post more often...would love to get to know ya and hear your stories!! Your teacher guy sounds great...how did you meet?

And something you're looking forward to Waking up tomorrow and be thankful that I did.


What a wonderful outlook--it sounds to me that your soul searching had some excellent results-welcome and thanks for de-lurking yourself--the more the merrier!

You are not going to believe this but just as I was notified by my email that a message had been posted in response to mine, I also got another notification of another email that I had received from PacSun (we have one of those stores about an hour away and my daughter loves it so signed up for the newsletter...of course using my email). So I open up the board and the response message is from you (PacSun). LOL I thought that was hiliarious. Oh well you can tell it doesn't take too much to humor me.


The teacher contacted me through OLD first with one of those generic yahoo messages and I responded back with one. Next thing I know I received this long, long message from him (with a reference that he needed to pull the card out and pay so that he didn't miss this great opportunity). We IMed a few times in the next two days but not too much. The next day we both happened to be at the laundrymat at the same time, recognized each other from our pictures, started talking and haven't stopped yet. I actually have known his parents for years. Our paths could have passed many times but neither of us would have noticed as we were in different places of our lives then.


Of course he isn't perfect but then again neither am I. He is 5 years older. We are both all grown up and not likely to change as we both have that same thought in liking the kind of person that we are. His life seems to be a little more busier than mine but maybe it is just that I have mine all balanced out and he hasnt quite figured out how to do that yet. lol I keep joking with him that if he would just learn to 'plan ahead' he would be better off. So lately I have found myself falling into that trap of planning for both of us and not sure I am comfortable with that but at the sametime need to remind myself that I am the only one that put myself in that position. And if I don't like being there then it is up to me to stop doing it.


Mistake asking me a simple question? I don't ever give simple answers. LOL

That's really neat! I like how fate steps in sometimes- OK so I know we control our own destiny right but still- there were things that did brong you together. Meant to be? I guess you will find out!

I'm surprised you managed to stay cloaked for 3 yrs of lurking on this board!!! There are so many discussions that I just can't keep quiet about- how do you lurk and read for 3 yrs and NOT have to jump in and say something?!?!? You must have a broken keyboard! LOL ;-)


But I guess I just talk too much, too. hehe


Welcome and glad you delurked!
