Just stopping to say hello and to look around. I've known Dotsie for maybe five years or so and seeing this site and NABBW just make me grin like a fool!

My first membership, I never made it by the forums, so I hope to with this renewal.

Anyway...just a hello!

Welcome!! Isn't Dotsie just the sweetest thing?

Glad you could make it here. I'm in southern California, married, one son in army/married, one son graduating high school in June, one fat beagle snoring at my feet.

Look forward to seeing you around!!

Kathy

Welcome, Kathryn. Love the spelling of your name. I'm single, no kids, 61, and unemployed as of Wednesday (still in shock but not crying today). I'm a member in good standing for two years, I think.

Any friend of Dotsie's...

Bet you hang around this time.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the warm welcome...although, I am sorry about the job Saundra! My son is in those ranks, too - they laid him off right before Christmas...ugh!

I'm 51, soon to be 52...married, have one son - my husband has three children - and I live in the smoky mountains. I'm a writer, freelance editor, and I guess I can call myself an author now!

Hi Kathryn. Glad to see you landed here after all these years.

Ladies, Kathryn was probably one of the first fifty women to submit a story to BWS. You can read it at this link:

http://www.boomerwomenspeak.com/display_stories.php?item_id=1106

The title is Price for normal. It's a quick, fast, honest read. I hope you check it out.

She has since written a novel that will be published in the near future.

Kathryn and Saundra, just so you don't feel alone, my son was also laid off a couple weeks before Christmas. Fortunately, he has a nice severance package whihc helps, but he still needs to find a job, when they're aren't many out there.

Welcome, Kathryn. Good to see more women finding us. I feel bad that so many people are losing their jobs and have a feeling we're in for a rough road. I do have faith and hope that things will turn around, maybe not this year though it would be nice if it did. Anyway, welcome to the forums!
