Lurkers old and new- Tell us about yourselves

I'm a middle aged (44 this year), married, stay-at-home mum of 3 (DS 22, DDs 14 and 7) -I scrapbook, sew, research genealogy and can

I'm a long time lurker on NSBR - 10 or 11 years! I posted a few times, but not often. I'm 40, married with 2 furbabies named Winnie & Tia.

I guess I would qualify as a lurker because I only had like 1600 posts, but most were on NSBR. I left for a good long while, but when I found out that the board closed I felt nostalgic and decided to "come back."

I'm 39, married. I have three kids DS 12, DS 9, DD 6. My oldest has Asperger's and a mood disorder and we have had issues with him becoming increasingly violent over the past three years. This has changed for the better recently due to multiple reasons that are too long to get into.

I am an RN but haven't worked since before my oldest was born. I found out about 5 years ago that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Over the years, I've had three other autoimmune disease tacked on: Hashimoto's, Sjogren's and Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Due to being in chronic pain and the inordinate amount of stress involved in dealing with my son, I've lost a ton of IRL friends, so I've found a lot of solace in the internet and virtual friends.

I dabble in photography. I make very little money doing it since I only take photos of friends for Christmas cards and new babies and such. I've been unable to grow my business due to my health but maybe someday.

I look forward to learning more about all of you!

I also was a lurker. I am 50, 2 grown children and 6 (soon to be 7) grandchildren. I love to bicycle tour, and I do run some. Reading and crocheting is a hobby of mine.

I've been a daily NSBR reader since '06 when discovered scrapping. I've been active on UKS, the UK scrap site, and found out about the NSBR on there. It has kept me entertained since then and even though no body here knows me from Adam, I feel I've "got to know" a lot of the pea regulars over the years. I'm a 50 something mother of a teenager, currently going through a divorce and presently live in England but come fro the Highands of Scotland (hence Teuchter)

I used to post on NSBR pretty regularly but stopped several years ago, although I lurked almost daily. I have 3 kids, (12 yr old daughter, 11 yr old son and 6 yr old daughter). This was our first year of homeschooling so I am home with them and busy with that nearly all the time. I have a very part time job. Hubby is a restaurant manager. Glad that PEAS are not sunk.

I was a member of 2peas for about 10 years. Mostly lurked. Married mom of 3 teen girls. Oy!

My avatar is our Spoodle, Georgia.

Im a homeschooling mom of three older elementary-middle school children. I work as a bookkeeper for my brother's henna business. I live in MT and for fun I game, sew, quilt, and scrapbook.

Another PT poster & FT lurker here!

I'm 50 (and 1/2) and a SAHM to 2 boys - 18 & soon to be 15.  Older one is heading off to community college in the fall (if he ever decides to actually fill out his application . . . ) and the younger one will be a high school freshman, so it's a big transition year for us.

I taught special ed for 10 years before deciding to stay home w/the boys.  Over the years since I've worked in my boys' school, did daycare in my home, worked retail and did at home parties.  Can't seem to find the right fit, so for now I'm a cross between June Cleaver & Roseanne.

I've been married almost 23 years.  

I love to scrap & read and I watch waaaaaay too much TV.

Looking forward to gettin' to know you all a little better!  

Long time lurker on NSBR.....I am married with an only child.  I am getting old..soon to be the dreaded 50 in a couple of weeks!

I've been a lurker since well before I registered, but a member since 2005. I'm a stay at home mom to three of my own. My oldest is 19 and is in the Air Force, he is a member of the AF honor guard and is one of the guys who carries the flag during the funeral ceremonies at Arlington cemetery. We are pretty darn proud of him, it isn't something that just anyone is chosen for. So I brag a lot about it...I shouldn't, but I do.

My middle is 14, she is pretty awesome when she isn't in teenager mode and the baby is 11. He has Asperger's and is not only challenging but hilarious and smart. I love them all bunches.

My 17 year old brother also lives with us and has for three years now (some of you may remember the post about him coming to live with us) He will be here until he graduates next year as my parents still haven't gotten their stuff together...but that is for another post. We also house our oldest son's best friend. He graduated this spring and is looking (thought not nearly hard enough) for a job. I'm really ready for him to leave the nest, but I love him and he has some learning disabilities that don't make it easy for him to get hired, so we are probably in it for the long haul with him too.

I also have a great hubby, we have been married for 15 years. I love him a ton. When you add in the two labs, I have my plate completely full!

I used to scrapbook but just don't seem to have time for it anymore. I do have a small photography business and that keeps me busy as well.

My name is Sheila and I live in Belton, TX. I work for the school district as a bus monitor. I have been married for 2 years (3rd marriage) and have 2 sons from marriage 1, they are 20 (aspberger's, associates degree/currently in school and working at the college), 18 (just graduated from hs and job hunting/will go to ODS's college in the fall), 2 from my 2nd marriage - dd is 12 and ds is 5 (they are with their dad currently and he just started a shockingly ugly custody battle the minute they stepped foot off the plane so i'm reeling from that)... i have fibromyalgia and some other health issues but overall I'm just doing my best to get through the day right now.

Long time lurker.  I am 68 years old and enjoying life.  I have been happily married to the same man for 49 years.  We have two grown daughters and 3 of the best grandchildren ever.  I have lived all over the US, England and Japan as my husband was career Air Force.  I have had many hobbies over the years with reading, miniatures (doll houses), card making as my favorites.  I also do quite a bit of traveling.  Over the years I have learned a wealth of information from the Peas.  Hoping this new board will continue to grow and become a warm place to come.  I plan to stay out of the political threads !

Another long time lurker here, I'm a sahm to my four kids and many pets. I was heartbroken when I found out twopeas was gone, So happy to have found this forum.
