I will take a look at it, Marie. I had modeled these of FFF, but we can consolidate boards or rearrange them, not a problem.

Welcome, LilySue! So glad to have a Brit among us!

Two of my five boys are also on the autism spectrum. Connor is grown now, Jamie is school-aged with developmental delays and sensory issues. I've been homeschooling both of my school-aged kids since 2020. Best decision I ever made. Jamie is learning at his own pace and doing very well.

Hi, I joined here not long after you all moved over from another group, but goodness knows when that was or what the other group was called  :) 
I'm a Brit living in the East of the UK, and when all the other Brits slowly left F3 I hung around because I really liked you all, and because my life circumstances forced me to get more and more frugal.
Over the years we found out that all three of our sons are on the autistic spectrum, with Hamish our beloved youngest also having learning difficulties(and other health problems) and he will probably live with us for a very long time.  Just before the pandemic our oldest son also came back to live with us and we form a slightly strange but very happy family unit.

Hey Kim, just throwing this out there to consider...

Is it really necessary to have a baking section versus just putting the baking recipes in the recipes section? Perhaps add a General Cooking subforum for all the other stuff cooking related we might talk about? What do you think? Just seems a little redundant to me and if I were looking for recipes later, I couldn't be sure if it ended up in baking or recipes.

Thanks.  It's always a struggle getting use to a new format.

Really.  If they could take all that energy and use it to help end world hunger or something else useful, that would be great.

Not really sure when I joined FM, but I joined FFF in 2003.

Married (to the same guy, for better or worse) for 32 years.  We built our own house and are still living in it.  It's about 25 years old now.  Still work for the same hospital, on the same unit for 32 years also.

Two dks.  Dd is 26, graduated with a music education degree but that didn't work out too well and she's currently working at a chiropractic office.  Ds is 24 and graduated with an engineering degree and is working as an electrical engineer in Austin.  Dd is in Dallas.  Ds is engaged (for the past 5-ish years but no time frame for the actual wedding). Home base is Quinlan, TX, which is about 45 miles due east of Dallas.
