Hey. I thought I'd start a different thread so maybe we could put down a little bio of each of us to become better acquainted..

If you dont want to no big deal.. but I thought we could use the "welcome" thread to talk to each other and this one just to get some "background"...

Welcome to all you new ones! Nice to meet cha

Everytime I see the name of this thread I get that darn song in my mind and it wont' leave!!

Getting to knowwww youuuuuu, getting to knowwww alllllll abouuuuuuttttt youuuu.......

yep that's the one!!

hey mamaj,yes the baby enjoys the extra lovin and since big bro and sis are not jumping on moms last nerve all day i have a little extra togive.and lord knows his terrible two little self needs all the extra i have.what grade are your kids in?mine are k and 3.when i go out without the stroller,man i feel almost naked wierd huh.where do i put my hands ,what if my socks dont match eeeek.hope to catch up with you later,i find it hard to connect with anyone on the board because my online time is limited,something always has to be done during the day and when nite comes, yawn moms done.

I thought I replied to this already but I think the internet gremlins where hungry and ate it.....

I live in the Western part of the UP right by the Porcupine Mountains. I am only 6 miles south of Lake Superior. So MamaJ if you are by Lake Michigan then you are a long way from me. My daughter is going to Michigan Tech. University in Houghton. I love the Keweenaw area, I like to go to Copper Harbor in the late summer and fall.

Nope can't be a teacher, plus my sister is an art teacher and even she has been laid off for over 2 years now. I used to be a Barber / Cosmetologist but couldn't make any money at it. Not because I wasn't good, it was I couldn't sell product. I couldn't con someone into buying a 10.00 bottle of leave in conditioner when I could find something just as good at wal-mart.

I want to find a job that I can do things like typing. I really don't want to work in food service(which is where my sister is now) or motel cleaning, or retail sales. It just isn't me, plus I need my weekends for my husbands DJ Service which I help him with.

I am on msn chat, and yahoo if you want to chat any time.

[email protected] and [email protected] so either one is fine. Oh and anyone can contact me on them.

new people

. i guess i should say something about me. i will be 40 next week. i have 3 kids, a 16 year old girl, a 13 year old boy, and a 7 year old girl. i was born and lived most of my life in northern calif, a little town called ukiah. my husband lost his job (logging industry) and found one down here in central calif, so we moved. we lived in a tiny town near the coast but moved to bakersfield a few months ago. i have usually worked at my kids school but am unemployed floyd right now and i am really starting to enjoy it. my husband works offshore and is gone for 7 days at a time and with the kids in school i am starting to get to know myself again. as with everyone in here i have had my fair share of tragedy but i seem to be in a good place right now and i intend to fully enjoy it. i would love to be skinny again and wish i would have enjoyed my youth and beauty a little bit more but i guess 40 won't be that bad. i am trying to break the cycle that i came from with my kids and i think i may be succeeding. my 16 year old is not having sex or taking drugs and seems to like me so i guess all is well. you never know with teenagers i guess. at least if they are still like i was.

but she is very gifted musically and i hope she sticks with that. my son is such a good kid, overachiever and has never given us a moment of trouble. i don't know where he came from. i see great things for him. my little one is a gift from God. i truly believe He sent her to me to replace the hole in my heart after my mom died. she is like her in so many ways. and she says that when she grows up she will buy us a farm and her and i will ride horses all day long. how can things be any better than that? as you can tell my kids are everything to me, they have given me the family that i never had. my mom was an angel but due to one awful person was never able to be the parent that i needed. i truly wish that she could still be here with me as an adult so i could take care of her and show her the life that she could have had. my husband and i have ups and downs but we seem to be able to stay married. we both came from broken homes and have vowed to never do that to our kids. we like each other so i guess that helps. while i wish that he was able to be a little more, i don't know, romantic? attentive? i am thankful that he is a good provider and a good man. very kind and decent. well that's me. not very exciting but who knows what's in store for all of us eh? peace

oldhippywoman: glad to read your bio! How did it go with the interview at school today? I downloaded this ani for you. You mentioned in another thread that, once the kids are grown, you might change your name to lonewolf. Take care!

Glad to meet you oldhippywoman! from one transplanted Claifornian to another.

oldhippywoman--I will be turning 40 in March. but my kids are Jessi 18 and in college, she is a freshman. son, tony is going to be 20 in Nov. but acts 16 a lot.....has ADHD so he is just a little behind in the social department. more than anything

I am trying to find a job now, not easy in our area at all. Not a lot of jobs unless you want to work in food service, motel cleaning or retail. I really don't want one of those.

Well I found this for ya. thought it might make ya smile.

thank you all so much for the greetings! i am so glad that i found this place. i am just feeling a bit melancholy today but you guys always make me smile. i have been meeting so many good people lately. it makes me wonder whht i have done right.

Hi Kivas Krew!!! I wanted to bump this thread up so that new members can share a little about themselves, and learn about the old-timers!

Hi everyone. I was just going back and re-reading everyone's bio and thought it was a good idea to bump this up so anyone new can share their bio's with us. Or, maybe someone was hesitant to begin with and now that we're private, would be more prone to share. Just hanging out tonight. Feel I've gotten to know everyone again! I was Mac's Mom at that time but it's Kiva's Sis now. MSN goof up! For inquiring minds! KS.
