Drinking the Koolaid

[lib82]

So, since everyone else is coming out of lurkedome I figured I should too.

Anyhow, I'm (another) longtime lurker. I'm a married mother of 1.  I'm married to my high school sweetheart and am not originally from the U.S.

Let's make this fun...ask me anything!

if you're not originally from the US where are you from?

Yes, I have 2 mutts, both female. One's a Pit mix and we think the other is a lab and both er mix.

Edited to say: boxer mix (not both er mix)

I looove boxers! I love all pups but they are one of my favourites. Feel free to pip. Lol. We love that around here.

I'm on the fence. Most days I want to have another, but can quickly talk myself out of it :-)

How old is your child? Boy or girl?

Where in America do you live?

Is your husband the same race? Does it matter?

Would you consider relocating to your home country together?

Welcome - quick tip - when you quote people, it's easier to read if you put your text outside of their text box.

Welcome (from a newbie)! How long have you been in America? Is English your first language?

I have a son. He's nine.

I live in the Midwest but we just relocated from the South.  I much prefer the South...tornado season blows (literally).

No he's not. I'm black and he's white.  It shouldn't matter but sometimes it does (unfortunately).

I would love too! If we don't move back home I would like to move to Europe (France, UK or Germany).

I've been here for almost 25 years (we came when I was very young). English is my first language.  I've studied others but don't speak anything else fluently.

Oh do it! Because then they play together and you can ignore both of them for long periods of time (like I am right now) lol

Welcome!

Lol, there's such a huge age gap I'm not sure they will care to entertain each other.  My son loves babies so hopefully he will respond favorably to a sibling 10 years his junior.
