If you've read 1, 2, 3 Punch, then you know I've been told to get off my ass and get more involved with life.
In the past 5 years, I've lost several older family members, dealing with a couple of other hard situations, some health problems, and fairly serious depression .
Part of trying to be more active and involved will occur here (with a bit of luck). I added a new section 'Updates 2025', where I will be trying to update everyone on each of my kids and other important people. I decided to do an entire new section for it, just to make it easier to keep track.
HONESTY TIME - Losing the original forum was a huge blow to me for a large number of reasons - the huge amount of time and effort that had gone into it. all the friends I'd known there (including some who are no longer with us), but also details.
I"ve always made it clear that there wasn't much I was treating as 100% true, and this showed up occasionally in cases where I got 'Curtis and Connor' mixed up (actually, the names I was using here for the two boys). One of the things we lost was a lot of the details. Because of that, if I say something slightly wrong or that just doesn't sound right, it's probably because of that. I don't remember what Van's full name was any longer, so if I just call him Van, you'll have to accept my apologies. As much as I have enjoyed sharing these stories and events with you, I have always tried to maintain a certain amount of privacy, or, at least, plausible deniability.
Please don't start new threads in that section. If you have someone you're dying to know abuot, please send me a PM. However, I will tell you that some of these are going to be much harder on me than others, and I'll deal with those as I'm able.
