34. Hey LynneSin! Thank you for this post!

Wed Dec 14, 2011, 07:03 AM

Dec 2011

I've been a member for since May 2008, but have been unable to contribute for about the last year. I was worried about logging in after such a long hiatus for fear of being booted due to inaction. Guess not!

It's been a trying year - and I'm fully confused at the new format but miss this place so much.

Thanks again..!

s. : )

Edit:
1. I read that several users have Kick/Rec'd you but I can't find the feature (it used to be available under each OP.... I'd do so for your post if I knew how given the new format!

2. I wrote a more personal 're-intro' but canned it, feeling silly. Only to find that several posters' got as if not more personal than I had! I am so out of practice. If I can find the text of my more personal post I'll add it.

I just want to be back here... not that I was an uber-user that all of us know (haven't yet looked, but I hope all are still here!), and I'm certainly not someone anyone would recognize. But I always felt that I was part of the community when I could add to the discussion (agree or disagree) and learned more from everyone else than I've ever conjured up myself. : )
