Hello everyone

Hi people,

well it's been a long time coming.
Lurking since 2004. Had a couple of 'off' years but by that time had introduced my mum to the weird, scary, informative, sometimes silly but extremely addictive world of ATS. So I couldn't escape even when I tried (those long nights are back, eyes drooping but needing to know more).

There are a couple of threads that have me mesmerised and I am grateful to those contributors, whose hard work have helped me understand a lot more science than I ever have before. I doubt I will contribute myself to those threads as I am a silent but grateful pupil in those areas.

I have had a very long love/hate relationship with ATS, seems love conquers all.

Feels like coming home.

ps I have spent most of the morning trying to sort my avatar, I'm quite concerned that when I hit 'post' the whole screen will be covered by it! Gulp. Here goes...

Welcome Back

Hi Purple H, nice to see you here, you would be surprised how important each persons view can be. It’s not always about filling the pages with science and fact, but also adding your own particular type of spice to the space.
Don’t be shy to express yourself as you are.
best wishes AT

Thank you.

I imagine I'll be staying around this time.

Yes, this is true but to be honest I'm way way out of my depth in that thread so Im happy just taking as much of the info in (that I can actually wrap my head around!) as I can.

Thanks for saying 'Hello'.

Thank you.

You wouldnt believe how many circles I went to get my avatar


That is one cool looking camel.

Welcome home
Love your avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look forward to see you out there in the threads
You probably already know this: lot of BS but also some deep insights and valuable sharing.
Hope for you to find whatever you seek.

Love and respect

Thank you! Yes I know, that explains my love hate relationship with this place.

Lols.

I've bit the bullet and posted in the thread that brought me back, amazing how intimidating it can feel.

Oh well...here goes, onwards and upwards.
