Ok- not only has it been awhile, but we're seeing a lot of new faces...
So, name, age, location, children, children's ages, pets, job, update, etc- remember you do not have to give out any information you're not comfortable with!

Catherine, 35, North Carolina, 2 daughters: Alex (13), Nina (6), I have 4 cats right now: Lucy, Lilly, Lulu and Tiger, Since a couple of months, I started to work different roles now in my company: a little bit of Secretary which used to be full time, but now is less then part time and now my main duties are Marketing Communications and Meeting & Events. I definitely love that MUCH more, since I did that back in the day...
I have been single for almost 7 years and raise my girls 24/7. I moved to the States from Germany 2 years ago this month (can't believe how that just flew by). My girls are in Germany right now, but coming back on Monday! YAY!
OK, I'm Priscilla and live in NC. I have three kids at home, 2 boys that are 6 and a girl that is 7. All in school and doing OK. My marriage ended last June and I dated some last fall, nothing too great. Dated a little this past spring, nothing too great. Haven't had a date in months. Not really taking a break, just not really getting out there like I should be. Have been too busy with other things I suppose.
That is it for me.
Shrimpy (42) with MonkeyButt (nearly 10, with cerebral palsy) and MonkeyBunny (7), living in the TX panhandle.
The kids have been gone with their dad (39) for the last month, but I will get them back tomorrow!! :-D The ex and NW lives in San Antonio, and we will meet up halfway to do the kid exchange. I bet they will look BIGGER in just one month!
School starts for us the last week of August, so we still have a couple of weeks to adjust to being back together and get our sleep schedules back on track.
The ex & I were married almost 7 yrs, divorced now for 5. He's been remarried for about 1.5 yrs and we all get along okay. (It sure wasn't that way in the beginning, but I'm glad that part passed!) He is battling Stave IV colon cancer (stage IV is the worst) that I suspect he's had developing for YEARS, but didn't get checked or diagnosed or treated until last yr in the late fall. So his time is limited, though no one really knows just how long, or how it will progress. And with NW being in her upper 20's... she's pretty young to be dealing with a husband who is facing death due to cancer. I just lost my Mom to colon cancer just this past May (after battling it for 10 yrs)... so it's all been a sad and crazy cancer ride for sure.
I've been dating my Hiker treasure (51) for almost 2 yrs and things are going perfectly. We met in OLD (match) and I don't know if I've ever known another person who fits me so well! He adds a buttload of kids and grandkids into the mix, but it's all fun- even if getting everyone together can be quite loud and chaotic!
I've been off work this summer as I work part-time and only when the college classes are in session, so it's been fun. The break is about to end! But I'm looking forward to another crop of nursing students to meet and mentor. I am an RN but haven't worked with direct patient care since having children. Right now, being available for them is my priority, and one day I will get back to the "trenches" of fulltime nursing but not yet.
I think that is quite a bit about me there! Of course there is more, but I'm not gonna ramble more! lol (coffee-induced typing again...)

Hello - I am Michelle.... I am 39 yrs old and live near Toronto Canada. I have two girls Brooklynn is 5 and Tristynn is 3 - they are the loves of my life. I have them more than 80% of the time - their dad is supposed to have them 50%! I am a PR/Communications Manager for a large and controversial corporation so that keeps me on my toes. I have been legally separated (from the world's most selfish, egotistical man ever to walk this earth) since March but the relationship totally fell apart last fall. I am happier right now than I have been in years. This past May I started dating Kazoo who has been a good friend and former co-worker of mine for the past 12 yrs. All in all....life is very good!

Just call me Loonybunny, 35, virginia beach, 5 children... dd14, ds13, ds8, dd4 dd3. no pets. Graphic Designer for TV station.
Update... no dating update... I'm not being too aggressive online but I have winked at a couple and replied to some emails but no dates since Mr Seafood. Hopefully, I'll be able to go out for some karaoke this Saturday or maybe sooner.
I'm happy that my 3 yr old is potty trained!!! Yay!!! And my four year old is too.... but she was justing being stubborn. I told them that since I don't have to spend money on pullups I can buy them a special treat. My ds8 still has trouble with bed wetting..... i hope he grows out of it.
And my frustration right now are FLEES. I hate them! and I don't even have cats... they are my brothers and i'm sooo annoyed. That's why i'll never have pets of my own. But I found a web site with many tips so i'll make my brother try them... like Borax and salt for the carpets. And vinegar and water for everything else.... I'm so annnoyed. Can you tell... I just want to scream... Oh, and i'll try Vitamin B.. i hear that will keep the flees from biting you. Let's hope.

I'll bump this up with the rest of you just so we are all in one place LOL
I am 43 with a 13 year old daughter. I live in southeast Missouri and I've been divorced five years after a 16 year marriage. I have two pugs Emma and Roxy. Until my divorce I've never been on my own...went from my parents house to a house with my husband... but really like being on my own. I've dated some but not a lot. I find myself kinda of "backwards" socially and I don't really talk a lot and am TERRIBLE with face-to-face conversation. Tried the online thing and I think I'm a little too paranoid for that, LOL.
Didn't think to tell my job description. I work for a lawyer and have been with him for 17 years!!!!! (One year longer than my marriage!!) Sometimes I think I'm getting a little burned out but for right now it's where I need to be. I also work part-time at a shoe store just for a little extra $$ and it also gets me out around different people. My regular job doesn't really allow me to be around too many people. I live and work in a small town and see the same faces over and over again. Gets really boring. So my little shoe store job is actually 3-fold....extra $$, improves me socially and discount on shoes!!
Not only am I running around after a 13 yr. old daughter, I also look after my parents somewhat. They are both in their mid-70's and need helping keeping up with things. It seems I have very little time to myself and when I do have a little time, I find myself doing absolutely nothing! Just watching TV or a movie is a complete joy to me. I had been seeing someone since May 19 and finally got up the courage to tell him last Friday that I didn't think it would work. I felt so relieved and strong after that. He was a sweet man, but drank a little too much for my taste. Also, I was starting to feel a little suffocated by him. Mostly I felt disappointed, but I gave it a good try.

Judy, 45, Florida, DS 11, 2 big dogs, work at home, dating my lifeguard for 2.5 months and things are going well. We met online on match.com and we do have quite a few common interests that we enjoy sharing. We also like talking about our kids. He likes my dogs and my cooking and is going to teach me to ride his new surfboard. I have been divorced for 6 years this summer. Am heavy into triathlons and keeping fit - signed up for my first Ironman in spring of 2008. WOOHOO - bring on the miles!
Wow! Has it been almost 3 months! Woohooo!
You are going to LOVE surfing! I swear it's almost better than..... hehehee
Emma,
Do not feel badly for letting someone go if they're not a match: better to let them go so they can find someone who IS a better match than be selfish and hold on to them.
