Hi Red! I love the colors in your skirt. It's beautiful. Great embroidery too. I really like the blackwork (is that the right term?) Looks like you're enjoying your embroidery machine. doris

As a matter of fact, Maryann, I did wake up during the night thinking about this. I thought, oh gosh, what if I never get back on? I post at the MH, but it's so slow. I will admit I was beginning to feel a little desperate. It's still showing me that page about security being insecure, but I click on that option about opening this website up anyway. It does say that it's not recommended. It's screwy. I thought maybe it was the server, but my sister has the same one and she hasn't had any trouble. She posts on the Garden Party. So, I will admit, it kinda scared me!! It's such a habit, and I'm such a creature of habit that it was AWFUL.

no, you misunderstand, there's no slash ( / ) in my username. It's a little too complicated to fully explain here. There's an error in the forum design so I sort of have two different usernames, but only one account. I'm not really sure which one is my username, and it shows up differently depending on how you are accessing the forum. I think maybe what it was is they got a new moderator and he didn't like me. He had sent some pretty sour messages to me even before Citrus Growers Forum 2 got restarted up again, and even followed me to another forum just to leave a harassing post. Lazz, maybe you can tell me what happened?

I remember you ikat. I started in late 98 or early 99. I think I added a couple of letters to my online name but that's about it. Yes I was always living in fear of Spike and those teacups. Someone kindly paid for my membership. I thank them profusely as I was ready to throw in the towel at that time. I always feel that my contributions are very small and that I cannot equal the smarts here. I continue to come back because regardless of how I feel which is of my own doing I belong here if I think I belong here. At least that's what I convince myself of every time I want to turn tail and run. I don't do much better in real life so what the heck :-). Welcome back :-).
