Your home life sounds great - it must be wonderful to have a baby to cuddle/spoil every weekend, and I'm glad your little guy is so good - I cannot believe he's twelve already. I also can't believe your other kids are that old - I remember your picture and you looked 16 - that wasn't nearly long enough ago to have changed too much. It was a good surprise to see you back here posting and I'm happy you're enjoying it. Yes, there are many here who post - whenever - for reasons all their own, and I haven't seen anyone here who says they've been harmed by it. I still laugh at some of the things we went through and did all those years ago now - we really weren't angels, heh, .... but whoah those people we were arguing with were something else.
