Thought I'd give an update, if anybody here remembers who I am. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

XH moved back to the area after living in Florida long enough to divorce me 3 years ago. He and the slug got married this past summer (they are welcome to each other). Thankfully, they don't live right in the same town as I do, so I don't have to see either one of them.

But I did finally officially take back my maiden name yesterday. It took me a long time, but I finally decided it was time to do it. The response at work has been interesting - I didn't think as many people would actually take notice and really care. Kinda neat, really.

Other than that ... well, life is never boring! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

[color:"purple"]Hi Terri, yes I remember you and have wondered how you have been doing. Thank you for the update. I am glad you were able to come to a decision about your maiden name. Congratulations, I am sure that would be a hard decision to make.

I hope your life is going well. [/color]

Hello Terri,

I also remember you. I hope your life is going well. I agree your H and "Slug" deserve one another.

God Bless,

JL

TERRI ! Look everybody Terri's here ! ::Jumps on Terri giving her huge kisses then does the *soooo happy to see you dance*:: I have missed you !

Sorry the dump trucks of salt missed the slug. Honey you did your best, hold your head high. Email me some time, still at dkohb@yahoo.com

::hugs Deb back and promises to email very very soon!::

Raskal, JL, Deb,

Life is going well. Some things could be better (like I could make as much money as the other guy in my department that has the exact same seniority level and same level title as mine...grrrr)... as I said, never boring, particularly in the computer world.

It's nice that at least a few people remembered me! I think there are probably more out there who would - but the forum problems really do seem to have cut down on the numbers of folks visiting (That kind of thing just intrigues the heck out of me. I wonder what really was wrong with that getting logged out thing. It does seem to be mostly fixed now, though.)

I'm thinking about making the suggestion for a new forum for those of us who have had to go the divorce route and would like to talk about how to get back into the (really really SCARY) world of ... dating (do they even call it that anymore???). Divorced/Divorcing is a great place to share that particular subject, but I was kind of thinking that I want to have a place to talk about starting new relationships after divorce - you know, the pitfalls, what it is people are looking for in a new relationship, what have we learned to make our relationships/lives different after divorce. I know that there are people in various stages of the divorce process here, and I don't want to take up the space they deserve in which to discuss that. But now that I'm divorced for several years, I think I need to work on developing new people meeting skills, and/or relationship skills. Maybe a "what does it mean when he/she says this?" kind of discussion...

Anybody think this is a good idea? If there are a few of us interested, it might help.

Hey terri,

I remember you too, and yes---the forums have driven me crazy to the point of not being here (or being here much less often). OTOH, I have made two posts today already, and I haven't been bumped yet.

I don't get over here very often, but it's good to see you doing well. I'll be happy to give plenty of dating advice should you get a forum going---but stay away from it, it'll be all bad!

Can I join the reunion?

Hi terri - I responded to your "new forum" post before seeing this one. Heck, I got there from your post on GQII - prolly would not have even SEEN this otherwise.

Glad you're well.

WAT

Hi Terri,

I'm glad to hear you are doing OK.

I have met a man on E harmony and am having fun dating. I like your idea of a dating forum...

Lora

Nice to see you K, WAT and Lora... I was doing better before I decided to stick my neck out and ask a guy out tonight - results of that are here: http://www.marriagebuilders.com/ubbt/sho...;page=0#2702222 - but I'll survive - I've survived far worse already! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It's good to hear that others are doing well. I'm truly not doing badly, just very disappointed I guess - it is obvious to me that I don't do at all well at "reading" signals from the opposite sex. My last 3 encounters have ended negatively - one was abyssmal, one was horribly painful ... this one was very disappointing, so I guess that I'm at least getting better at handling rejection! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm going to suggest the forum idea to the admins and see where it might go.

Thanks for popping in to say hello!

Waving to Terri!!

(and the other oldtimers on this thread!) Terri, glad to hear you are well and free of the ex and slug.

Wishing you all the best!!
