Re: Postings from around the world

[Guest guest]

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for your kind words

When people join our group, they don't have to provide any personal

information so there's no way we could know where everyone is from

unless they make a point to post about it. I agree with you though,

that's it's fascinating to know that we're connecting with people

from around the world.

There are many members who don't post or don't post often, so I'd

like to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who feels so

inclined, to post a brief message about themselves, perhaps just an

introduction and if they don't mind, it would be nice to know what

country they're from.

If I had to guess though, I would think that the vast majority of our

members are from the US. It seems to me that there are only a

handful of Canadians but we do appear to be more " chatty " so it

probably looks like there are more of us than there really is

Looking forward to hearing from others,

Tracey (from Canada)

My name is . I'm 43 and have been married to my wife Latonia

for almost 14 years. We have two daughters, Marissa (10) and

Jocelyn (6).

We live in Huntington, New York. I'm originally from Connecticut,

Latonia's from Long Island. We are both lawyers -- I'm a tax lawyer

and she's a matrimonial and family lawyer.

I've been on disability for the past 10 months, but I hated being a

lawyer, so no great loss. Latonia likes being a lawyer and is very

good at it. I like being a stay-at-home Dad.

To the other : I agree with that you ought to be approved

for social security disability. If you go the lawyer route, make

sure you have one with a lot of experience dealing with disability

issues. I wish you the best of luck.

Warm regards to all.

(I guess now I'll call myself E. to distinguish myself

from W.)

Hi Dave,

That must be so frustrating for you. I hope they figure it out soon.

I find not knowing something is worse than knowing.

As for the weight, well I'm still stunned from the thought

Take care,

Tracey
