Memory Lane
Some of you, may or may not, remember me. What's brought me here again, was Google.Since December, I've been actively erasing what I can of my 5 year online moniker - MrsDonaldW - for a variety of reasons that could take forever to explain. In it's place, where applicable, I'm using my name.
None the less, when going through Google, I stumbled upon a conversation, on the wedding board, about my disappearance, and one interesting comment about the possibility that I may be a stripper. That made me chuckle.
So here's the cliffnotes: No, I'm not divorced, we now have two children, and were actually in the early stages of planning a vow renewal ceremony for June 2013. I had an ongoing issue with a very unstable individual. The best course of action was to privatize whatever I could, reduce the number of contacts I had online and all out abandoned some accounts -like here.
Oh, I almost forgot, Magee-Jukes; are my maiden names, one being my father's, the other, my mother's; not an alter-ego, or stage name

It's great hearing from you. Thanks for the update. Your name has definitely come up in every post we have had about girls who aren't around anymore.
Congrats on baby #2.
Your name has definitely come up several times on here! I didn't remember any mention of being a stripper or whatever, so I googled "magee-jukes" and this is the thread I came up with.

LOL. I don't remember that specific thread, but DAMN! We put in a lot of effort there. All I can do is laugh.
Boredom at it's finest
I definitely remember you and I'm glad to see you're doing well!
Hi!
I totally remember having that conversation and the stripper part! HA! We were REALLY bored, I guess. Great to see you back.

Thanks for the friendly welcomes, glad to see everyone flourishing!
Ava Lynne is not so little anymore, she's 5, and in junior kindergarten full time, and is homeschooling with me part time. And now she has a little brother, Abel, who's in his 6 month.
Oh there most certainly was a comment about being a stripper, I came across it a few weeks ago. It has since been deleted or archived, or it somehow got flagged and a moderate took it down. I'm not too worried about it, it was just one of those things you don't expect!
You probably don't remember me. I had a different screen name way back in the day and I was one of the knottie originals on the board back in '06... like you, I had an unstable person in my life who found the site and it was best for me fall out of the loop for a bit around the time of our weddings. I resurfaced a while after our weddings with a different sn.
I'm the one who mentioned that it could be a stage name because you have the look of a lead singer in a band. I hope that wasn't offensive to you. I meant it in a positive way because you have a personal style that I can appreciate. The association is probably due to personal experience, since a friend of mine is the lead singer in a band and has a simliar style to yours. In any case, I hope that didn't bother you.
I'm glad to hear you're doing well.
Hey Kristine! Congrats on being a mommy again! I can't believe Ava is 5!
I can put in a request to have that post removed if you'd like. I can't do anything to it since its archived. Just let me know if I can help.
You going to stick around for a while?
