Hi all --

I'm new here...saw an article in my local newspaper (Orlando Sentinel) and just had to come and check it out. It's wonderful!!

A little about me -- I'm 50, married to a quadraplegic who is very active and independent, no kids, just two of the 4-legged furry kind (beagles). We travel a lot to bass tournaments and do a lot of volunteer work for the Paralyzed Veterans of America.

I used to be very active on a similar forum for women who've had hysterectomies (hystersisters.com) but kind of got past that and have been looking for something like this site to be able to chat with other women.......this is great!!

Hope to hear from some of y'all soon!

Ann [Cool]

Hi Ann!

You mentioned going to bass tournaments. Have you and your husband even gone to one in South Carolina? Specifically on Lake Keowee? We aren't fishermen, but love boating and know there is a large bass tournament here at least once a year. We are pretty new to the area so don't know a lot of details. But if you're interested I'd be more than happy to try to find out details for you!

Hi Ann,
A warm welcome to you.
I leave for Alabama in a few days to go bass fishing. My third trip and I love it.

Your volunteer work sounds very rewarding. Another member here is posting about helping veterans. You might want to check that out too.

Our topics can range wide and broad, hi and low about practically anything. You'll have fun here, I guarantee it.

Hi Ann, It's great to have another new member. I'm pretty new myself. I'm 54 years old and a stay at home mom having resigned from the I.R.S. twenty years ago. My husband retired 6 years ago from the Dept. of Defense. We have two children Rob 20, in his third year of college and Victoria 17, a senior in high school. You're one of us so sit back and enjoy! We can get a bit rowdy at times but I think you'll like that part especially. This is a wonderful group of caring women. You'll be surprised at the things we're not too embarassed to talk about!

Hi gals --

Life got kinda crazy and I didn't get back here for a while but things are calmer now. Trips and hurricanes had a way of taking up a lot of my time!
No damage from hurricanes and trips are over......I'm home for several months now!

I don't live in Orlando, but halfway between Orlando and Daytona Beach.

We haven't been to any tournaments in South Carolina.......but we'll be heading to Clarks Hill Resevoir in Augusta, Georgia, in March. Been there several times before and it's a beautiful place.

Chickadee, do you know what forum that gal was posting about helping veterans in? I'd like to check it out but don't know where to begin looking.

Happy Halloween to everyone!!

Cross, there is a search feature on the site. Look at the top of the page and you will find it on the right. There is also a dierectory that has all kinds of fun features so you can find people with similar interests. Glad to hear the hurricanes haven't hit you too hard.

Hi Everyone,

I hope I am doing this right.
I am also a newbie. I have been reading posts from this website for about a year now. I guess
it is time for me to join in and meet some wonderful women and make some new friend's.
I'm 49, have 2 children, 27 year old daughter,
13 year old son, 2 1/2 year old granddaughter.
I can't wait for this adventure to happen.

Hi Chickidee,

I'm pretty new here myself, but like that I've seen so far. I recently dropped out of a list I'd outgrown, too, so I'm being cautious about getting to involved yet.

Hi Chickiedoll! I believe you're our third OC gal here. I'm in Placentia (and so is Elsie, who pops in sporadically); where are you?

Glad you finally de-lurked and joined us [Smile]

BTW, I just realized I hadn't welcomed CrossStichQueen yet, so happy belated welcome to you [Wink]

Hi Chickiedoll..

So glad you decided to join in, I lurked for awhile myself.
Feels just like home here. You could not find a nicer group of women anywhere.
I have 5 adult kids, four of them still at home. One grandson who is 15.
Never a dull moment here.
