TeaTotaler Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have not posted on the boards in a long time. Life has been interesting. Our family made the move from MN to IN in September 08 (dh had been here since June). The move was exhausting but went well. No mishaps with the moving company especially considering our terrible experience with a prior move. About a week after our move dh's new job took a challenging turn and it has been relentless since then. He works 12-14 hours 6 days/week and has been traveling a lot. I unpacked about 95% of our stuff. Between Oct and last week, I had 3 bouts of a nasty sinus infection. I think my body is getting used to the new bugs in the area :) It has been a rough adjustment for ds who misses his dad being around and his friends in MN. I recently told a fellow boardie that I was planning to post again and she kindly informed me that my board name may cause a stir....so do I need to petition for a new name or can you all assume that I mean a different kind of Tea :tongue_smilie: Hope I don't mess up this post and it shows up in the right spot. Hello again to those who may still remember me. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 No need to change.....I thought the whole 'tea' thing was silly.... We ARE all adults here....LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Glad to see you back! We promise we won't think suggestive thoughts about your name. Those of us who know you know that you had the name first, waaaaay before the TEA thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chai Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Welcome back. Definitely keep your name! We moved from MN to CO in Aug of '08. Moves can be draining! I actually have spent more time on these because I don't have as many IRL friends here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wow! Sounds like a lot to deal with lately! Keep the name--it'll make some people smile!! Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I changed my name by just adding a new account. But when I tried to sign on it said I was locked out for having a duplicate account. I had to send an email and they were about to change my old posts to be under my new name, and they deleted the old name. Just FYI. I'm not sure the proper way to change names, but adding a duplicate account is NOT the way to go! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in OH Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Welcome back! I've wondered how your move went. Have you found a violin teacher for ds yet? Has your IN winter been milder than MN? Glad to see you again! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Don't change your name! We won't crack naughty jokes, I promise. And your name is how I know that you are you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in IN Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Welcome back! And welcome to Indiana! :seeya: (waving from across the state) I wondered if you had moved. It's good to see you back here, and I hope you all get settled in and keep feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy loves Bud Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Welcome back! I wouldn't change your name. Unless you wanted to go with TeaTotally. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I am in Indiana too! I remember you. There is a thread titled Indiana for networking, in case you aren't already on it, sign up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaTotaler Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks for the welcome back, ladies and for letting me keep my board name:001_smile: I recently told a fellow boardie that I was planning to post again and she kindly informed me that my board name may cause a stir....so do I need to petition for a new name or can you all assume that I mean a different kind of Tea :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaTotaler Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Welcome back! I've wondered how your move went. Have you found a violin teacher for ds yet? Has your IN winter been milder than MN? Glad to see you again! Beth Hi Beth, Yes, we did find a violin teacher pretty soon. I didn't spend too much time looking around because it was Sept and I wanted to find somebody before their schedule filled up. We drive about 25 mins north of Indy but at least it is not an hour each way which is what we had been used to in MN. So far so good. I think ds still misses Suzuki - actually I think what he liked about Suzuki was getting the trophies for passing each level :) Hope I get to hear your dds sometime. Take care.

Suzanne in ABQ Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi! I was just thinking about you the other night, trying to remember your board name, and thinking that I'd somehow forgotten it, and had been missing your posts. But, as soon as I saw it, I remembered it, and came "in" to see how you're doing. Don't worry about changing your name. Since you don't spell it in all CAPS, it won't be a problem (though it might cause a grin). :) I'm glad to see you. Can you remind me where you moved to?

Beth in OH Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hope I get to hear your dds sometime. I think my 16 yo violinist is going to have a website soon for her string quartet--once it's up, I'll link you. Before that happens, though, I'll have a link for her "garage band", the Gutter Press. She's teamed up with three friends, and they're having a lot of fun. Dd plays the lead guitar part on her electric violin. This is her hip self. :) Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danestress Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I take it your physical health has been okay, apart fromthe sinus stuff? If so, I'm very glad for you! Have you found a new violin instructor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigitte Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 When I read your subject line, I thought you were going to say that you started drinking and the name no longer applied! Keep it, it took me a while to figure out why you think it might be necessary (but I can be slow with those kinds of things). Welcome back and I hope your dh's schedule settles down soon.

Have you found a new violin instructor? Yes, my rash subsided by early summer of last year. Now I just wait with dread for the next round in about 6 yrs from the start of the last cycle. I have lots of friends praying that I don't HAVE another cycle of this nasty stuff. My ds still asks if I or he will get it. I just tell him that I don't know for sure but I am praying like crazy that it doesn't happen. We did find another violin teacher...I posted a little bit more in my reply to Beth in OH.
