My Belated Introduction - Hello MyLot

Hello everyone, I am bethie, an ex-bubbler who luckily found Mylot three days before the Titanic sank, ( when Bubblews closed). I did not originally write an introductory page, because the ones I had read seemed like a couple vets were annoyed with intros. Another member @jebo suggested newbier write an intro to acclimate to the community.
So here's a little about me. I am a single working mother of three. If you remember me from Bubblews, you know my eldest has been sick since he was born. Great news! He has finally grown into a strong teenager, he has autism but his major illness was cured! I can hardly believe it took 14 years, but I'm so thankful!
I bought my own house in April, paid it off with my inheratence. I have been working from home since my son was born. His illness meant I had no other choice. I have multiple Hubpages accounts and dabble all over the place.
My laptop is dead, a new one should be here soon, but for now I mylot from a tablet. I am very excited to be on MyLot. I say, it's better late than never.

glad you made it over! This is a well written and interesting post, you should do well. Take some time and explore the site, to me at first it was hard to maneuver around, but it got easier. It's less pretty and more functional than many places. Oh, and here is all about interaction, not initial postings.

@Jessicalynnt oh good. I am even more excited about a new laptop. I'll never want to touch this tablet again! Well accept for my game, which is an app. :)

Thanks for the advice, and nice to meet you again. I have one hope, and that is that the site is easier to manage on a computer.

Welcome Bethie! Another fellow Ohioan! I've heard mixed reviews about BB in the past from Hub Pages--another website I'm a member at--and glad I've passed on it, before that ship was literally sunk. Feel free to ask questions, since I've been a fellow newbie for a few weeks.

@BethieAnnie :-) Yep, I'm in Summit County. I never been to Toledo before. I've lived in Shaker Heights for 5 years, Euclid for 5, and now here in the Akron area for 5 years just about. That ship has sunk for sure.

Hey buckeye! Your a we bit north if I remember correctly. It took me awhile to notice the tanic sank. Then I saw that the lifeboats were gone and then dwdavis and adriennejenkins floated by me on a door, and I knew all was lost.

Welcome and be happy here. I find it really hard to myLot from my tablet. I hope you get the hand of things here soon. I don't listen to what others say I should or shouldn't post as long as it isn't breaking the rules of the site.

I am new, so I have been looking for good advice. I think the trick is trying to find the advice I need from people who are kind.

Yeah, I am. I have my eggs in lots of basket. It's impressive that through all of my multitasking I don't develop split personalities.

Welcome! I am glad to hear your son is doing so well. I was a single mom of one with issues so I really admire you for having three. I hope you enjoy your time on here. Enjoy!

Thank you for your words of support. It has not been easy, but it has taught me a great deal about patience and perseverance.

I heard Bubblews finally closed and I think most members found themselves here. I am also a member of Bubblews.

Yes, Bubblews is no more. It is brining a surge of new members here to MyLot. I think it will be beneficial to the MyLot community.

It is a pain, but I know my laptop won't be long. I can deal with this. On the bright side you should see all the things I'm learning to troubleshoot.

Great to "meet" you! I've just started writing on here, too. My son (now in his late 30s) is almost certainly ASD (that wasn't diagnosed when he was a kid, and he didn't strictly fit into either autism or Aspergers Syndrome), and is leading a happy and independent life.

My boy has aspergers, he is currently suspended from school after a meltdown. He has done amazing this year up till now. He got to be on the football team, and even though they never let him play, he worked hard to have the grades and behavior so he could at least try. I have high hopes that he will grow in to a fine man, a stubborn man, but a fine man.

I was suggested to try this site by some MyLotters, like @SIMPLYD and @Cristi-Ichim (I am not sure what his username is though).
