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
Higgens was just the butler.
Higgens was just the butler. He was too stuby and and prissy to be as cool as Robin Masters had to be.
Robin had to be someone more like Sean Connery or Roger Moore.
Ahh. But Robin Masters was
Ahh. But Robin Masters was always giving permission for Magnum to do anything....Which drove Higgins crazy , Remember?
PS - Good idea to lighten the mood.
Great, had to bring up Magnum
Great, had to bring up Magnum PI! Now I'm going to be calling DH Tom for the rest of the night.
78, 88, 98, or 08, Magnum
78, 88, 98, or 08, Magnum was, is, and always will be a PIMP. And yes, Masters had to be Sean Connery. Not Roger Moore though... not nearly cool enough.
I did eBay search Ferrari 308 GTSs just now. I can get a black for for like 30. They don't look as cool as I remember... Bummer. Two buddies of mine just bought play Porsches, weekend cars, and I'm getting the itch for a toy...
That's why I'm watching Magnum P.I. on Hulu... Man this midlife crisis and GF breakup are really adding up to a big fat waste of money on something I'll regret, and soon...
Man Toys are never a waste of
Man Toys are never a waste of money. I would have more of them if I had not squandered tons of $ on jewelry, cars, houses and vacations for my bride.
But, she is my gift that keeps on giving and well worth it. I will have my toys before I die. He who dies with the most toys wins!!!!!
However, I will likely never own a classic 65-67 Shelby Cobra with a 427CID engine with the side mounted 9qt oiler.. I almost bought a 64 with the 289CID engine in 1982 but I could not quite get the $11k together at 18yo that would have purchased it. I was close.
I give my dad crap periodically for not loaning me the last $2k that I needed. That car even in the rough original condition it was in 82 would bring $200K+ today.
