I'm greatauntoftriplets.

[greatauntoftriplets]

I found DU via the Top 10 Conservative Idiots shortly after DU went live, but didn't join until the following October. I'd never belonged to a discussion board and was a bit leery of the whole idea.

I really am the great aunt of triplets -- they are now 11 1/2, big and smart. To think they were only babies when I joined DU blows my mind.

I am also the aunt of almost 16-month-old twin girls, a 4-year-old boy and step-great-aunt to two boys (aged 15 and 13) and an 11-year-old girl.

Needless to say, our family gatherings are large and raucous. And fun.

2. Hey there

I'm betting after some of the family gatherings you need a nice nap or glass of vino.

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. Actually, the adults have wine during family gatherings.

And a nap at any time sounds good.

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. Both of my nieces had fertility problems....

and had an assist from modern medicine.

14. We fought many a battle against the trolls and bawds of yesteryear!

endured many outrages. Nice to see you are still fighting the good fight!

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. We've both been here a long time.

Now that I'm no longer a moderator, I can come out of hiding.

16. Slainte, a chara!

Good to see you, my friend! Seems a lot of us found DU via the Top 10 back in the day...

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Hi Maeve,

[JNelson6563]

19. Hey, Julie!

I'd object to "old timers" except I've got to touch up those roots before next weekend's festival...

[JNelson6563]

20. Hey girl!

Good to see you! I have a regular appointment with Mr. Clairol myself.

I hope it's all good in your world Maeve!

21. And in yours

Mine could be better--last year, Hubby lost his day job and we've been flying without a net. No insurance, irregular income, all the joys of self-employment. But the kids are 3/4 gone (one still in college at home), we're surviving and summer means more work for me, so it's good enough!

[SunsetDreams]

22. Hi greataunt!

Triplets and twins in one family so close together WOW.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. The miracle of modern medicine and fertility treatments!

[Borchkins]

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Congratulations to you!

It's such fun watching them grow up and interact with each other.

[Borchkins]

26. i agree.

They r all different but so far best friends.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Same with my niece's kids, even though there are two boys and one girl.

All have different personalities and the boys don't look alike.
