[QUOTE="Did-I, post: 269651, member: 24"] Hello! What a surprise it was to get an email / link to this thread from Suz this morning! I've been one of those "I really need to check in to the CD Board and see what's been going on" and of course I never get around to it (I've become quite the procrastinator in my old age :( ) I think the last time I posted was when I had learned that Kris had passed away :( then I believe an update that my youngest grandchild was on the way - he's almost 15 months old now - time certainly does get away from us, doesn't it? I have four grandchildren now - difficult child's daughter is 3 1/2 and difficult child 2 has three (and still a single mom, still not getting it :( ) #1 is 10, #2, a little girl is almost 27 months and #3, a little boy, as I said is almost 15 months. They're all so very precious to me, always have been, always will be. Aside from the grandchildren, and of course husband always keeping me going and supporting me as he always has, it's been a very rough year for us. I don't even remember if I had mentioned it the last time I was here, but difficult child, now 26, was arrested last August and is being charged with some heavy duty felonies. He remains in County jail since his arrest and is facing both State and Federal charges. Sparing you (and me) the sordid details, let's just say that once he's convicted (and he will be) I'll probably be gone from this life by the time he gets out. Sigh..... In November I became yet another statistic of the Nation's ever-growing unemployed when I was let go due to "reduction in work force". I was expecting the possibility of a layoff, so needless to say I was absolutely devastated when I found out it was permanent. I made really good money where I was at given the area I live in, so it is quiet a blow for husband and I financially, but we're making things meet the best we can. It threw me into quiet a tailspin, as this is the first time since I'm 14 years old that I've been without a job that wasn't of my own accord. As they say, when one door closes, another one opens. Only problem with that is no one will tell me where the key is hidden!!! ;) So there's my update. Thank you, Suz, for thinking of me. :) I see you're still holding on to the possibility of those nuptuals with Richard!! LOL ;) [/QUOTE]
