Ohhhhhh, I was late to my own party


Well, here goes.....My birthday was 12 days ago. I wont say how old I am now but I'm the newest member of AARP. (Stop laughing!) I was born in NC. I was a honeymoon baby, the first of 4 children. I have a sister and 2 brothers.


My childhood was pretty much the norm for back then. I rode bikes with my brothers and horses with my sister. We had our monents though.....dont get me wrong. My brother to this day is deathly afraid of horses. But who can blame him after being tied on one for 2 hours.


My sister was my best friend. She and I would get into so much trouble. Most of the times we'd be let off the hook...not always though, like with the horse thing. But we taught him not to start the motorcycle when we were around on them.


High school was a trip. I drove a bus. Yes, all 5'4", 110 lbs (back then) of me sat on a pillow and drove that big thing. My first day I had to stand up to a rather large guy that thought he could back me down. After that day, no one tried it again. Oh, and Scott was allowed back on the bus after his parents had to drive him to and from school for 2 weeks.


I married the first time at 20 to a man named David. We had Rhonda (who is now 26 and teaches 2nd grade) and Jason (who is 24 and will teach HS math). Right before our 5th anniversary I found out about his pregnant G/F. But I wont go there.


I moved to SC for a while. There is a saying that each person has a soulmate. I met mine while living there and lost him to cancer. I held him as he died. His name was Rod. He gave me one of his characters in a game he played that was named *Darshawn*. Every game I play will have a *Darshawn*.


I moved to FL by way of SC and TN. I lived in Cocoa Beach. I loved it there. I saw first hand history in the making when I watched Challenger explode on January 28, 1986. At the time I was dating another man who was in the military. He was leaving that March 1986 for Japan. We didnt want to wait for the year he'd be there alone so decided to get married. His name was David. Yes, another one.


We lived 3 years in Misawa, Japan. Our daughters, Shannan (who is 19 and will be my 3rd teacher, teaching English Lit, when she is finished school) and Heather (who is a senior in HS) were born there. Our son, William (who is 16) was born in Maryland.


David #2 and I divorced in 2002. Things were bad for 5 years before but it took that long to get the courage to try and make it on my own. I struggle from time to time but I am SO much better off now. I feel like a person again and not a possesion. I still am trying to convince him he is missing out on 3 wonderful kids by not being there in their lives.


****If your name is David, might I ask you right now to stay the hell away from me? *****


I started playing AC in 2000. I retired *Darshawn* in 2005. I met so many wonderful people. Lynea is right. I met her when I royally screwed up an auction. At the time it was like one of the best items and I had no idea how to run an auction. She stepped in and helped. Thanks to her, I was hooked on VN from that point on.


I was a mod for VN for almost 2 years before stepping down. But being on my own, working 2 jobs to afford to move into my own place and raising 3 teens by myself allowed me little time for anything else.


But I've cut back to one job. I still work long hours (11 hours each day) but have 3 - 4 days off every week. I love my schedule.


I now play WoW. I have several characters that I play but my main is a level 70 horde priest, Zindani. I've met some of the nicest people while playing both the games I've played. Some I've lost touch with. Some I hope I never do. (They know who they are.)


So, there ya have it. I'm *mumble* years old. I'm still 5'4" and not even gonna say how much I weigh now. I have red hair and green eyes. My nickname since I was a small child has been and still is *Angel*.


I'm Nancy.


And yes, as Tazz said, I'm a bit kinky. But then again, to some degree, who isnt?

A great read.

AARP ha had to look up when they start inducting victims I meet the requirement this summer so don't let it bother you. And there are a few even older than us that hang out here from time to time.
