Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Winter Storm
Yes, I heard that the NE was getting a storm. Our payroll service called this morning to get the #'s in ASAP - they're located in NJ and we're planning to close early.
I appreciate your no drama comment. We are cleaning out SD's room this weekend - it's a bittersweet victory for me.
Keep your powder dry, LJ!

Ice, ice baby!
We got the snow earlier - about 4" worth - and now we're getting ice pellets. It's NASTY out there! Hubby's not going to work, which means we get an extra night to sleep in the same bed at the same time. (He works night shift, so we usually get to share the bed only once every two weeks.) We even got a snow day out of it, so BS9 was thrilled. When I got him up this morning to tell him he didn't have school, he said, "Oh, good! I was planning on faking sick!" What a fart! I'm happy, though... I'm a snow fiend.

Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice: Pull down your pants and slide on the ice! -M*A*S*H (Sidney Freedman to the OR staff on dealing with stress)
Listen here you Feline.
You Be-och. Did I do that right. We have shoveled the damb driveway 3 times together and BF is out there again for #4. The storm is not even half way over!!!!
Family Affair. Mary J. ( No more Drama ) I told BF we are playing that song at the wedding.
We got dumped on a few weeks ago
so I feel your pain. At least, for us, our snow (2 feet) melted rather quickly because of the spring-like weather. Enjoy time inside!
