    I have been a member here for a while now, and it just occurred to me this morning, that while I feel extremely close to a lot of people on here I don’t really know a lot about most of them. So, I thought I would start a “Getting to Know You” thread. I am sure I am not the only one here that feels that little disconnect between screen names and who a person is, so I will start the thread by telling a little about who I am.


    My name is Letrecia, a lot of people call me Lala just because my name is so long. I am married, and have a wonderful 8 year old son. My husband and little boy both have severe asthma, and my little one has food allergies. We take care of my disabled mother & father in law. My mom and stepdad live close by, and I am extremely close to both of them. My stepdad helped my mom raise me, they got married when I was two. My mom is like a rock, she is in wonderful health, but my stepdad has MS so we take it day by day with him. Some days are great, some days, well they are another day! My bio dad passed away last July, I still struggle with a lot of emotions about him. I work full time in a steel mill, and we have lots of animals at home that we love to death! Well, that is me in a nut shell, who’s next?

    I'm Neona in real life, my father was in the Navy and heard the name overseas in the 50s, when I came along in 1965 - he named me. (for all know Neona was a cute girl he met overseas a few years before he met my mother).


    My parents are both gone now, Dad in 1970 and mom in 1993 - Mom died of breast cancer and its a cause near and dear to my heart. I live in N E Ohio, a very small town thats sitting in between Canton and Akron. I have been happily divorced since 1995 and have a wonderful son, Chris who will be 16 in August. I have a degree in Sociology and a degree in English Lit. Neither of which I use but I love to read and play word games. I work full time as a Customer Service Rep for Life Line Screening.


    On the side note I read tarot cards, dabble a little in ghost hunting and a few other metaphysical/paranormal activities.

    MorningGlory,
    I have always been fascinated by the paranormal. I have a deck of tarot cards, not the "real" ones, this is a deck made for me and handed down by my great aunt when she passed.

    what do you consider "real" ones? There are so many varities of cards out there. I can read from just a standard deck of playing cards, it doesn't matter. Because the ones you have are hand made and handed down to you, I would think they would be very strong and very helpful if you ever consulted them.

    The ones that I have are regular playing cards with things handwritten on each card. My great aunt used them when she was living. Before she passed, she gave them to her daughter and told her when something happened to her she wanted me to have them. I really did not understand it at the time, she and I were not extremely close, but we always seemed to connect on some level. I guess it was that connection that she felt when she left them to me. I have consulted them for other people, but never for myself. I was not really even sure if it was possible to consult them for yourself.

I am married but he split so thats whats up with that. Im on bedrest and have panic attacks but thats really the extent of my medical problems(that I know of anyway).I am a lover of the arts- poetry(Poe and Shakespeare are my favorites), art(big Picasso fan), music(I like it all). I have 14 tattoos and currently only one piercing in- but the others are there-lol. I am an addict to chang. I love dying my hair, trying out new makeup, hairstyles, et cetera. I want to go back to school but Im pretty sure with being alone with three kids that will have to wait until THEY are in school. I have a weakness for musicians. I try to be as honest as possible and want the same from those I communicate with. I want to love and be loved again but Im not sure my heart will ever fully allow that. Anyhoo~ thats all I can think of at the moment.
