dqm, has it really been a year? It doesn't seem like it.
Yeah I think. Almost anyway. I know it was last summer that I was last over there but it was after my daughter's birthday so you're right not quite a year.
You know I had a few email address from people on that board but DUH they were all in my PM box so I lost them when I deleted from the site. If you're still in touch with any of that old gang let 'em know I didn't drop off the face of the net and that I didn't forget all about them.
How's ed? Is he still hanging in there? I miss that guy. And Vette? I heard she finally adopted! And dang who else? PQB? I was friends with her on fb for a while but she never checked her page EVER LOL.
Sheesh there are so many others. Of course Flan. She was one of the one's who's email I lost.
I miss so many of the Geeks. I would join that site again but I'm bad enough at being a member of one board. I just don't think I could do two.
Hey guess what. I'm gonna be a grandma I'm super excited! We find out the gender July 12th so that's the big thing in my life right now. Oh also I can't remember if you participated on my thread about my youngest wanting to get baptized. Well she's 13 now so no more excuses from me about her being too young. Her baptism is scheduled for August 12th. That's the other big thing in my life.
I'm glad to hear things are going well with you. Looking forward to seeing you around.
So what brought you over here? I'm curious. I know this board was an off shoot of the board that I now refer to as 'the old board' but I never saw you there. I was a member for about 6 or 7 months but then it shut down and two new boards formed. There's one called zeta board and then this one.
Originally I didn't join either one. As you said, I've got a lot going on. But honestly, I missed the topics and the jokes and the personalities and most of all I missed being able to just be honest about stuff going on in my life.
Thanks for asking about my husband. I haven't really spoken about the incident since I left the GT. The one year mark passed and I was no longer 'friends' with the people who helped me through that. I was surprised at how that made me feel. It made me feel like I could take the quote marks off the word friend cuz some of my board buddies really have become my friends.
Well, however you ended up here, I'm glad you did.

Welcome RTL. I feel like I should know who you are. I am usually great about remembering people, I feel bad about not being able to place you. I look forward to getting to know you!

dqm,
I am not posting very much on GT. There are not many threads there that I feel comfortable commenting on. As you can guess, religion, politics and government are the three big topics 24/7, and I don't post on those threads (but then again, any thread can be turned into a religious or political debate, so there are much less threads to post on). Other threads discuss children, pets, dating, SOs, and other people/things I do not have in my life.
I am not the venting or raging type and do my best to keep my issues to myself. This is because I have found that no one wants to hear mine, but they want me to hear theirs. I usually play the therapist. Many of my posts on other boards are not acknowledged, so I figure, why not try a different board and see if there are more opportunities for me to post without others reading between the lines?
I belonged to the "old board" for a little while but did not post much there either. The arguing, threats, name calling and mud slinging were a bit too much for me to handle. So I'm just feeling out new boards to see if I fit in, and hope that people "get" me. If not, i will move on.
I am glad to be here. Looking forward to new experiences!
RTL! Greetings! I am also a GT refugee (although I use a different screen name there). You are one of my favorite posters. Always kind and level headed.
I haven't spent much time on this board, but will probably be posting here much more in the future, as I'm also looking for a community that is a better fit. I understand the feeling of not being acknowledged. Just know that I 'see' you. And I get it.

Hello, Lets, and welcome to the board! Your avatar looks familiar, but I unfortunately cannot place it with a name. (this is what happens when I think of everything in all of time and space 24/7!) Plus avatars are changed all the time, and I can't keep up with them sometimes!
Thank you for the compliment, you are too kind. So far, this board is mellow and I enjoy it. I do not post on a daily basis, just as on GT, but hopefully that will change. Looking forward to reading your posts!
It's ok if you don't recognize the avatar. I only used it for a very brief time. I'm Ginnys Human over there.
I agree that this board seems pretty mellow for the most part. I tend to be a night owl, so most of my posting will probably done in the evening to wee hours of the morning. Looking forward to seeing your posts, too!
