Hey all!!

I'm ToddB, Paris' oldest, and by far best looking, son. 

I had to come on here and meet all of you because she can't stop talking about what great people you all are and how much you all have helped each other through the years.

So I'll be checking in from time to time to make sure that my Mom behaves herself.  She always told us growing up not to do anything you wouldn't want your Mother to read in the paper.  Let's see how she applies that to HER conduct on the interweb!!!!  :rofl;

See you all on the forum!!!!

I should also add that AlohaBeth is my baby sister also.  Though we call her Bethie around here.  (I'm sure she will love me for sharing that with you all.)

We can't wait to get Bethie back home here in Raleigh!!

Hey Todd, your Mom is such a valuable member of this group and I so envy AlohaBeth's adventures.  Any son or brother of those two is most welcome here.  However, no blackmailing your Mom when you discover her wild side here.

Ok Todd, here is the deal----what happens on IHD stays on IHD!!  Got that!!  Remember, I brought you into this world and I can take you out!  And I can always change the will :rofl;

I am sure you will recognize many names here. I talk about everyone so much. Please don't let them know that I am really conservative, reserved and withdrawn.  They kind of have a different impression of me!!   Thanks, son, for wanting to know what my second family is all about.  Love you!

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody.

My Mom talks about you guys so much.  I feel like I know you already.

All she talked about for the last month or so was the Chicago trip.  And now she keeps talking about the next Vegas trip.  She really has me wanting to go just to meet everybody.

Mom, rest assured, your secret is safe with me!!! 

And I think you all have the best smilies!!!  I especially like  :sarcasm;  :Kit n Stik; and especially  :sir ken;

Welcome, ToddB. Were you born in Kentucky?

Yep, Lexington, KY on November 4th, 1970.  We left for St. Louis not long after so I don't remember any of it.

No, sorry, I've never seen Bon Jovi.  The closest I can get is the fact that Slippery When Wet was the last album that I got on vinyl.  My girlfriend at the time gave it to me for my birthday.  She wouldn't spring for the CD.  We broke up shortly after, mainly because of that.   :)
