I have been a lurker here for a couple of years..rather pathetic now that I think about it! LOL
Love this site, and really enjoy reading all the posts so much that I decided to come out of the shadows.
I am 44 year old sahm, to two great kids (boy 13 and girl 8), married to a retired bond salesman turned home builder in Houston.
TOTALLY addicted to reality shows lately, and am enjoying reading all ya'lls posts.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi!

Hey Texannie. I was in a baton twirling group when I was a kid named the "Texanns" based out of Marshall - do you know them????

Anyway...welcome to "de-lurk" mode

Hi Texannie and hello again Zeno39.

Texannie, for folks who are new or new to posting after being lurkers, we offer the option of allowing an "adoption" to take place.

It started awhile ago, and the original idea was for those who had questions, or were uncertain of some things, the adopted parent would be around and answer questions or try and explain what was going on if the "son" or "daughter" had any questions. It was used for folks who were a bit anxious/scared when they first started posting.

It stil gets used for that, but it's also grown as a way to kind of build the community, and have a sense of having a family here. There is no requirement to get adopted--just a choice anyone has. And it's not limited to new posters--anyine can get adopted or adopt someone.

It's not age dependent either--a 20 year old can adopt a 50 year old. It's really about helping to allow everyone to feel welcome and a part of TVCH.

Yep, square..one of those NON working women! ;)
And, I only like Aubergine, if Laurie describes it! ....did I pass??
Bigd, never been to the baton competition, but I did graduate from SMU and lived later again in Dallas for about 5 years.
What a sweet idea about the adoption agency..thanks for explaining it, Lancecrossfire.
Thanks for the nice welcome!!

Welcome Texannie, as you probably know there are a lot of us Texans here. By the way I made you a folder hope you don't mind. Just go to the Members Room, then the Message Board and look for your name.
