Hey Ellie!

Long time no chat! Just got my MacBook fixed and DB was on it and figured out my Sign In and POOF - here I am!

What a difference the years make, eh? Remember those early days. I couldn't go 5 minutes without posting!

I made so many friends here, lots of I have met and a number I still talk to every single day. So glad you and I met in Cali with Karen. I also see that Gineen is still around. Spent some wonderful days with her and little G in Disney.

This board saved my life and my sanity. It was so great to always have someone to talk to day or night - someone who really "got it".

My UPDATE: I've been retired for 10 years and happy for it. Moved up north to a lakehouse with Josh (we have been together HAPPILY for 15 years!!!!). Ryan (disabled son) lives with us. Also bought a condo in Florida and spend winter there. Josh is still working so he looks after Ryan on Weekend nights while I'm away and daughter Ashley looks after her brother on weeknights. Speaking of Ashley - she moved up north a couple of years after me. Got a great job that she loves and recently bought a lovely house with a handicapped suite for her brother to sleepover and we made a 2 bedroom apt downstairs which she rents out to pay the mortgage. Neat how these things work out.

Happy Happy Joy Joy.

As for my ex - we have a texting relationship app 4 times a year as he asks to see Ryan and his worker drives him an hour away to visit with him for a couple of hours. I rarely think about him and his maggot. I don't know if they're happy and I don't care. He rarely sees any of the kids and they prefer it that way.

And that's it. I will try to read more on whats going on when I get the chance.
