Hey newbies, where are you ..........hiding? Come on we want to get to know you. It takes all kinds to make this group. Join in, we want to welcome you.

bumping again.

All you have to do is tell us about yourself anything you want. If you need ideas go to Joanns unerlined link at the top of this post and read some of them

come on girls tell us about yourself, its really quite painless.

Okay, I'll play, since I am fairly new to this site..... I use Phoggie (my son's dog's name), but I am Mary from the middle of Kansas and am 70 years young. I worked as a school secretary for 27 years until I retired. I was widowed twice...once when I was 33 and then again on this last New Year's Eve, just one minute until midnight.

From my first union, we were blessed with three children, two girls (now 47 and 50) and a son (45). I have 5 of the most wonderful grandchildren (but aren't they all?).

I am hoping to sell this big house and move to a much smaller town (only 3,000 of the most friendly, honest people anywhere), "back home" near where I lived all my life, except for the 11 years I have spent here with my late beloved husband.

I have enjoyed getting to know all of you, my new-found friends.

Ty phoggie and good luck in selling your house.

My user name is Rose, but my real name is "Patti G" which is the name I use on the "KT Daily Trivia" game. I have been a member since 2006, but have been a "lurker" for most of the time.
I have been married for 35 years, I am 59 years old and have 1 adult daughter (Alyssa). I live in AZ and my hobbies are reading and watercolor painting. I love the Kitchen Table.

I'm Eileen (user name eileen101). I've been on here a few times but have read this board for many years. I'm 60 yrs old, have 4 daughters and two grandchildren and have been married for 40 yrs. I live just outside of Phoenix in the West Valley via Long Island then Southern Cali for 33 yrs. The reason we're in the Phoenix area is because our oldest and her husband were able to transfer from Cali to Phoenix at Cali wages and my daughter was pregnant at the time. We zoomed to Phoenix to buy a house so we would be near out first grandchild. The other girls followed shortly after, so we're all Zonies now!

Hi! I'm SugarPlum (childhood nickname). I'm 49, an accountant who lives in Georgia. I'm married (21+ years), two children - 19 year old college freshman daughter and 17 year old high school junior son.

I've lurked for a few months, and posted on other THS forums. The Kitchen Table seems like a caring group!

I am Dee and live in the middle of the USofA. I will be married for 30 years the Aug, 2012. We have between us 6 kids and soon to be 9 grandkids. I am not sure how long I have been at THS, posting sometimes, when not so busy with the GK's. I am the oldest of 9, but those numbers are quickly going down, to fast. Just lost my last brother last week (had 3) and the sisters are all over the US. Glad I can have a place to come to with all the wonderful people that share the good and the not-so-good news...D

I am Mary, live in westren Wash.Don't post often. Iam 69, and as others I really miss,some posters,pray for,laugh, and most of all learn so very much here at the table. I also bring lots of treats for all to share.

Hi I am momshoe(Mary) and I live in SW Kansas. I am married for 41 years to my DH and have a son and a daughter. We have 6 grandchildren whom we adore! I have lurked here for many years and usually just have time to stop in and read what is going on and then I am off again.

How nice of everyone to join in, a big welcome to all of you!

Hi, I am Cindy, 53 years old and have lived in NW Ohio all my life. I have been married 35 years and have 5 children and 9 grandchildren. I just started lurking here a little while ago. I found gardenweb when I was planning my new kitchen and spent a lot of time on the kitchen forum. This seems like a very friendly forum. I am looking forward to spending some time here.

Welcome, everyone!

Hi, I just posted a couple of comments and came across this thread so I'll play.

My name is Lynn and I usually hang out in the Kitchen forum, the Home Decorating forum and the conversation side of that forum. This whole forum, all of them, are filled with great, friendly and respectful people. This is the only blog that I visit.

I'm 59 and live in Vancouver (Canada) and have lived here my whole life. I have 2 sons 23 and 25 both just finished university and still, for now, living at home. I've always been a SAHM and I like making my house a home. I'm an avid reader, a runner, a gym-rat, and a gardener. Oh, and we have 2 cats - Charlie and Powder. (Powder is pure white and we are a family of skiers - hence his name)

Welcome ALL....and how great it is to have some new friends join us at the table :)
blfenton...I am on the complete opposite side of the country from you, I am in the Maritmes...NB to be exact.

Hi to all of the new folks who are at the table now.I am a Boston girl.Mother of 6 grandmother of 7. Love playing the daily trivia game and checking in here to see what's going on when I can.
These are really nice folks willing to help out with answers to some funny and sometimes not so funny problems if the occasion arises.

Welcome to all of our newcomers. It is so nice to see new faces around this big table.

Sugar-Plum, where in Georgia are you located? I'm in Fayetteville, south of Atlanta by about 20+ miles.

My name is Darlene, I live in central florida, aka the mouse house. Have two adult sons and six grand daughters.
I have been married for 46 years and retired about six months ago. DH and I were looking forward to retirement so we could do all the things we have put off while raising our family.
Unfortunately, I went in for a routine physical, and was diagnosed with MDS a condition that will turn into leukemia. I am now trying to decide if I can withstand a bone marrow transplant ( I am 65 years young)!
Any prayers you can spare would be greatly appreciated!
I have lurked for a very long time, but decided maybe I could use a few friends, to talk to and occupy some of my time. Thank to all for entertaining this old gal. This forum is one of the few where you can agree to disagree.
Love reading the general chit chat even when I dont't post. Thanks to all for the entertainment!

PS. I am a one finger typist so please forgive any errors in my posts! Couple that with old age and chemo brain . . . Who do you call ghostbusters :)

Maid

My name is Sheila, been here a while, and like to welcome you all to the forum. I check it every day and contribute a little bit. I'm from Boston, retired, 73 and husband is 78, three children and three grands. I'm an artist and for 40 years I owned a hair salon. Life is good, we're very lucky.

Welcome everybody!!! Hope you all will chime in on some posts and start some new ones too!

I live in Missouri with my hubby of almost 25 years. Our only child just moved to Nebraska after graduating college and getting a job. We're missing her, but couldn't be more proud of her achievements. We also have 2 cats (1 just turned 20) and a small mixed breed dog. Besides occasional scrapbooking I am pretty much hobby-less right now.

Sending prayers your way Maid!!

Welcome to all of you, you will enjoy our table.

I though I'd bring this one back before it got lost or fell off.
Welcome any & all new friends!

Hi, I am Cat. I read here when I get time, but only occasionally post. I used to be a regular on the Computer Help Forum, for many many years. I am 73. I have a terminally ill hubby to care for, so dont have much computer time these days.

I'm still floating around here and there.
Luv the couple of games y'all are playin' now.
It's nice to see even more newbies have joined since I did...woo hoo!

glitter-graphics.com

You'll never find a more supporting group of friends, Maid. More prayers coming your way.

Welcome to all the new people!

Welcome to all of you!

We will pray for you, Darlene! Keep us posted on how things are going and know that we are all here to help you along this journey.

I guess I will jump on the bandwagon :) I am Abbey, and the cny in my user name stands for central New York, where I have lived my entire life. I retired after 35 years with the company now known as Verizon. Loving retirement, more time to spend with the niece and nephew and their children. I spend winter, spring, and summer at their lacrosse games. I enjoy fixing up my house, which is how I found That Home Site in the first place. Mother to 1 cat now, Annebelle. My Abigail went to the rainbow bridge a few weeks ago at the age of 19, and Annebelle and I are still adjusting to her loss. Over the years I have rejoiced, cried, and prayed with all of you, and while I am somewhat reserved in real life I hope to be able to make some contributions here. I will even bring some chocolate :)

Howdy, and welcome to everyone! You're gonna love it here. :)

Welcome to everyone...it is always fun to meet new friends around the table....and to join the rest of the table in sending up good thoughts and prayers to those in need. The KT is famous for that help.

Hi, I'm Ellen and I usually visit the Kitchen Form, Home Decorating and the conversation side. I pop in now and again to Smaller Houses.
I live in Westchester County, NY. I'm 58 and have been married 28 years. I have two daughters, 22 and 24. Both college graduates and both are working. Youngest lives and works in Pittsburgh where she went to school. Oldest works in NYC in textiles.
I work part time for a market research company doing descriptive analysis.

Hello to everyone! I feel like I know many of you although I have posted very infrequently. I am Dolores - my user name, woodchuck.mo, comes from my birthday of 2-2 (Groundhog Day) and also because I am a woodworker and live in MO. I am 67, married 33 years, with five children between us and 11 grandchildren. I retired a year ago last February after working for a military contractor for 39 years. My newest grandchildren are twins, a boy and a girl, born June 28th. I have been going to my son and daughter-in-law's house every morning and helping her with the babies. I am enjoying this very much as I was working when my other grandchildren were born.

This past year and a half of retirement has gone by scary fast. I have many interests and hobbies - woodworking (I love building furniture), crocheting (mainly afghans and baby blankets), reading, flea markets and yard sales, yard and garden, photo crafts. My sister and I retired about the same time and we have a great time doing things together.

@Darlene - prayers for your health. Do let us know how you are doing.

Hi Everyone! I guess you could say I'm a "new old friend"! I was first on The Kitchen Table not long after it started. Back in the days of Spike, etc. (Many of you old-timers will remember when..). Anyway, I've been on hiatus for quite a while, but I've recently started back. Have been "lurking" for several months now, so I decided to write. Anyway, I'm Vicki, a retired widow with 4 grown kids and 6 grandkids. I love recipes - not that I'm that great a cook - and anything with crafts and home decor. Not that I'm much good at those either. But I do have fun trying them out and seeing the finished products of others.

My name is Frog and I don't know how old I am,,,mebbe Seben, Mebbe Leben,,,mebbe even leben-teen.

I have never been married and never had a GF either,,,and I don't want one so forget the matchmaking baloney.

I don't know where I came from but since last Christmas I been living here with LazyPup & Jan and in April my nephew came to stay with us.

LazyPup taught me photography so I am now the Publisher, Senior Editor and head photographer for Lilly Pond Press, publishers of the "Frog Pond Gazette"

Sometimes either I or Nephew and I have little adventures and we like to share them with everybody on the GW KT board in hope that we might bring a smile.

Hey, If that old frog can introduce himself so can I!
I'm BONGO, I am very new here. I found 3 really swell gals in Oklahoma just last week. I decided to let them take me under their arms, legs, hips & boobs....... where ever they would let me or I could get by with..... he he.

If any of you nice people here want me to go home with them just let my ladies know and they will ship me right too you. I am a very "sexy" guy that loves women. I like to go places do exciting things and just love my picture taken. Maybe I can even meet that Necterine I've heard so much about...whoo who, she was my kind of girl!!!

Wow Bongo, just seeing your handsome face makes me lonesome for you. I miss you already. I do hope you get to meet many of our KT friends in person.
You are a hoot and one wild and crazy guy!
Your lady friend in OK! You know the ONE!

Does anyone what to share their pic? We have our photos on the link below.
We love seeing who we are talking to.

Here is a link that might be useful: Our Photos

Oh I forgot some of those faces! Yes, please add to them, anyone.

Love to put faces to names! Here's mine.

Sorry - did not realize it would be so big!

any & all pics are great. Thanks for posting

lets see your lovely faces!

Bumping for our new friends

Golly, that was fun to wake up to! We have not heard from too many of these new friends, have we? I am sure Darlene needs our special thoughts and our 'red shirts Thursday' and Cat...hope her DH is doing OK and I am sure she needs all the strength that we can send her way. How are you all doing???

I've been coming here for years but I dont post very often
Well this is me...

Karen UK

I remember Spike, also.

Live in a rented farmhouse a couple of miles from the freeway between Detroit/Windsor and Toronto, about half way between. Have had a garden for several years - biggest ever, this year ... over 3/4 of a mile of rows ... and the weeds are succeeding in getting ahead of me.

Pleased to be in quite good health at over 80: son 50 nearby and daughter closing in on it, who, having dual ciizenship, has lived in Phoenix a couple of times over the past 15 years or so and now lives mostly with her partner who operates a motorcyle rental franchise on Cozumel, off the Mexican coast.
