Hello, everyone.  At the behest of my wife, paddbear00000000000, here I am.  You folks have been a huge help to her and have been a better support mechanism than I could ever be for her, so thanks for that.  Without you, she'd probably go insane.  Well, more insane than she already is, anyway.
Janet tells me that you guys already know everything about me, so I'm not sure what to say, except that it's good to be here.

And this is for you, sweetie:   :sir ken;

Hey Paddshubby,  it's almost like we know you already.  Thanks for all your support of Padd whom we care so much about.  This is a tough spot we find ourselves in and it's people like you who hang in there with us that keep us moderately sane.  Feel free to say what you want or need to here and we can lend you our support also because we also know that being a close caregiver is no picnic.   :welcomesign;  Greg.

Welcome to our community!  And a double welcome because you are Paddbear's significant other!  This is just a great place to be for information, support and lots of crazy fun.  As you might have realized, we are more than a website, we are a genuine family  :grouphug; and it is a pleasure to have you join us.  So read and read and post and post.
However, as the official Auntie Aurora here, I disprove of people showing their bottoms in public and any similar outbursts (!!) on your part will be met with the severest of spankings!!  Be warned!!    Just kidding, or am I.....?
