Greetings and Salutations, Ladies

[Lawren]

I have been inactive for some time now so I thought I would re-introduce myself and show off my new avatar. My GF/SO made it for me in PSP and I think she did a wonderfull job of it.

I am a 46 year old CD. I have been doing it since I was about 10 years old and can't seem to get away despite several purges over the years. I am currently coming back from yet another purge. I have no pix right now because they went out in the purge also. I'm glad to be back but please bear with me as I rebuild what was lost.

Welcome back young lady!!! If you have not figured it out yet> I will tell you - you are one of us! Take pride in it, cherish it, learn and study it, protect it, love it and most of all share it! We have a gift that is wonderous! It can do things for us that can bring such enjoyment to our lives and to those who we come into contact with. What a wonderous gift to have - use it gently and it will return beauty to your life beyond your expectations!
Love,
Virginia

Lawren.

So tell me, after your previous purges and knowing the end result will be the cost of replacing the purged items, why purge again?

[Lawren]

I'm glad to be back.

Yes, Donna. It is expensive to rebuild so why purge? Good question. Is it rational or irrational to throw away everything you have built up knowing that you will want to return to it? I guess I'll never figure that one out. Oh well, what's done is done so I'll just pick up the pieces and start again.

Hi Lawren,
Me personally I never purge I just add. Now that I'm out in the open with my wife there is no turning back for me only forward. Be all you can be, I love that motto. Carol Ann
