Howdy all - newbie here. Step-mom of one man/child who just graduated high school and doesn't know what to do now. Married 10 years, ex-Navy (he is too). Just here looking for some levity and somewhere to feel grounded.

Welcome to Family Corner to blurainlady !!


Hello from the heart of Cajun Country!! It's very nice to meet you! Very happy that you decided to join us! This is my absolute favorite "corner" of the web! This is a great place to make friends and find support. Everyone here is like a great big family. You won't find a more friendly group of people!

My DH is also ex-Navy! He just got out 7 yrs ago this past April. Were you & your DH on surface ships or submarines? Maybe your step-son would like to carry on the Navy tradition?

I'd like to extend an invitation for you to join us at a few threads. Click on any of the links below and it will take you to different threads/subjects around the site. Once there, just click on "post reply" and jump in with both feet! You'll have fun, meet some great people and just have an all around good time. If you ever need some extra help just click on the "pm" button at the bottom of my post and send me a private message. I'll do all that I can to lend a helping hand!

Friendship Flower Thread this is the only thread that does not have a designated subject. At this thread, you can talk about anything (within reason) without having to worry about getting off-topic! By posting, we "grow" a flower. We start out with an empty pot and end up with a gorgeous flower/plant. We never know what we're going to end up with but we have yet to be disapppointed!

Thank you

to all of you for the most kind welcome!

A few years ago, I was in an industrial accident and was over-exposed to toxic chemicals. I have some central and periferal nervous system damage that, until a short time ago, left me totally dependent on my husband and two little girls.

Within the last year or so, I've been more able to do things, including use the computer. I even have a couple of "real life" friends, and my sister has moved to the same community I live in so I get to see her between her work, kids and busy social life, lol... at least she texts me!

I'm learning more and more how to do things, with my dear husband's support (or dread) since I tend to over-commit, then everything is chaos, then.... well I have REALLY good intentions!

Howdy folks! Found my way here from a newsletter. I think I put all the family info in the sig. We moved to Kentucky about two months ago, and are near DH's father's family. Quite a change from the city to the country. We don't even live in a town anymore! *LOL*

But there is an outside where the kids can run and play (without us having to be able to see them every single second) and the school has 350 students in 6 grades i/o 750 students in four grades. And there is also the possibility of homeschooling.

I'm also a new SAHM, after being 6 years as breadwinner. DH will be helping restore old military aircraft.
