I'm on the west coast (orange county), but I don't post so much. By the time I read a post and want to respond, it's just too late. Im also going to bed early these days. Yup, I'm a lot of fun!

Thank you. I'm going to try. Thanks for being so welcoming ?. I haven't officially introduced myself yet. I think I need a minute to process this new life first. Thanks for letting me jump in and post.

I'm usually around at night. Mostly, only at night since I'm at work or at school during the day and I can't be here.

I'm up in WA, and I'm usually up until 1 or 2. But, by the time I get here, pretty much everything has been said.

[Mrs.Rad888]

I'll see what I can come up with.   (kiss)

Hi I'm here,but I'll be going to bed soon - not because I'm sleepy, but to stick to my diet and avoid eating food. Boooo

[Mrs.Rad888]

OK, here's one. Might end up being kind of long.

SS#1 is married. We love love love his wife. She recently had a mental breakdown and was committed involuntarily, but SS petitioned to get her out, so she's out now. But she won't stay home, she keeps leaving to go out wandering, and is pretty heavily medicated. SS has spent many hours wandering Seattle looking for her, but when he finds her, she doesn't want to go home with him. Oh, and last time he found her, she was on the verge of giving banking info to a dude on the street soliciting donations for "children in Africa."

SS#2 has been fighting what he thought was a sinus infection for about a year. He finally got an MRI and a cyst was found beside his nose. The cyst had gone undiagnosed for so long that it started eroding the bone behind it. He just got surgery done, and it's up in the air if the nerves that serve his upper jaw will get feeling back.

Their mom, DH's XW, moved out of state when they got divorced. The boys were like 17 and 18 when this happened. At one point DH and her were thinking about getting back together, but he's the breadwinner, and his job is here. When he said that he didn't want to quit his job and move when he had 2 boys in college, she asked him, "Don't you think it's time to cut the umbilical cord?" He broke up with her right then.
She recently got a new boyfriend, and apparently wanted to show him what an awesome mom she is, so they came out here to "take care of her boys." She was planning to stay with SS#2 in the house he shares with roommates.
But the boys don't want her here. And they told her that. 
She still came out, with the boyfriend. SS#2 told her she would not be staying in his house.
DH and I were going to drop by SS#2 house to check on him and take him some food. SS#1 was going to be there, too.
They decided to come out here instead, because they didn't want to see their mom.

Aaaand....every time she talks to SS#1, she asks if there is any chance of her and DH getting back together. You know, the guy I have been married to for 5 years. He tells her that ship has sailed, but she still asks. Even though she has a new boyfriend and they recently made her Facebook into a couple FB page.
