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!

Soonee, I'll take your lemons, they go great with Tequila... anyone have a salt shaker?

It's amazing to see all the great responses, and get to know the new faces!

I absolutely LOVE this board!!

So, yes, Liz, I was looking for a house for myself, and found one. It's in the school district I wanted, and not too far from my work, and I can totally afford it myself, which was really the kicker for me.

However, funnyguy and I had been discussing living together. Some of you might remember my issue with him paying the the house his ex wife lives in. He got a handle on that (without me pressuring him), and we started discussing it again.

We spend all of our free time together, literally, except for an occassional girls' or guys' night out, and just realized this was right for us. It's fast- we've been exclusive for about 5 months now... but it's right for us. It's also right for me, and for the kids. He's amazing with them, with my parents, and especially with me.

I think it's really true that the best thing a man can do for children is to love their mother- and he does.

Moody, moving up and moving in and moving on

Hi, my name is Deanna and my husband died 15 months ago yesterday. He died from a blood clot that formed during chemotherapy and surgeries. We were married 18 years and have two great kids, Tyler (14) and Krysta )10). I am finally seeing that maybe I can have a happy life somewhere down the road. My problem is that I think I am ready to date, but any friends that we had when we were married don't come around anymore. Basically I have one friend that is married and she can't go out much. So, I don't know how to go out and meet men. I don't think I should go to bars alone, and I am alittle nervous about online. What do you guys suggest. I am so lonely for adult conversation. I just don't know how to go about this. My self esteem is so low right know because it has been 15 months and I have not been asked out once. How pathatic is that? Anyway, sorry for a long posting. Hope someone replies

Hey girl! Is it getting hot enough for you here? Just curious, have you ever been to Joe T. Garcias? I was reading about the Margarita posts and that is my absolute favorite place to go for some relaxation.

Hi Liz! I am doing pretty well. I moved from my apartment into a house in a nice neighborhood. I am really enjoying it. I started my own medical billing business on the side and it seems to be doing well and growing.
I am in litigation with my ex regarding custody issues. We are scheduled for mediation on the 21st. My ex divorced in December from his 2nd wife and married his 3rd wife in June. It is kinda like a never ending Jerry Springer episode. LOL!
How are you? Did I see you moved to Florida?
