The last time I was on MyLot was in 2010 I seem to recall, under the name Thea09. Out of the blue I started to receive email notifications this month and opened one to discover quite a few bubbling friends are here. Hello Anna and Anja: and no surprise to see Vandana is still here.
I'm dismal at working my way round new sites and can't remember how this one works. If Barry (Koalemos) is here can someone point him out to me as I sorely miss his wit. I know he was active here, tho' no idea under what name, at some point after I left the first time round.

Hello Katerina, I missed you so much. I am glad you showed up. Val from New Zealand joined yesterday (@valmnz). Barry (Koalemos) is around, he is not writing but I found a few comments. There are many users that are migrating from site B. I left a message to Lany, let's see if she jumps on the wagon too.

@LacyDuck Hello Anna, I just emailed you to say I was here. I do hope Lany joins up. I already found Val earlier. What name is Barry commenting under, I'd really like to connect up with him? BTW do we need to add tags to comments, the box keeps coming up?

Hi Katerina, sorry, I'm not Barry, but I'm so pleased to see you here! Wow, this is so good to meet up with old friends here, and I'm loving the pace, but a bit sad that longer discussions don't seem to be the order of the day here. On the other hand, it's sure fun to gradually find you all again, and the atmosphere seems a lot friendlier!

Oh yes, I know that old fool who uses the name of Koalemos.
I finally gave up on Bubblews because the site became extremely inactive and nothing appears to be posted by my friends there anymore. I also spent some time at Persona Paper, although that site does not seem very active these days either.
As it is a few years since I was here regularly, I realised that many people who I had met on other sites or even those that I knew at Mylot would possibly not remember the username Asylum. This was my reason for adding the name Koalemos to the profile, which is quite a convenient feature.
The animated quill is one that I have used for several years as either an avatar or email signature, but of course Bubblews does not support animated avatars.

So glad to find you. I was still listed as Theo09 when I looked so changed it to Katerina so the fleeing Bubb's would recognise me. I thought at first some chap called Arthur from Manchester may be you but the writing style wasn't yours. I've been working for the same company since the beginning of the year, writing, but will pop in here when the workload isn't too heavy. Today I have a free day.

Wow, I had no idea that you've been a member of myLot for years (or maybe I just forgot? ) When I saw that you started following me, I just had to come to your discussion and say hello! It's been way too long! It's so good to see you again Katerina!
By the way, this site isn't like it used to be. Here's a link to help you out.

You found me, that's why I keep the same name so others will recognize me.

@thea09 Glad I stick with Abby's photo LOL! When I saw your photo I cheered! It's always nice to catch up with those we spent a lot of time with over the years.

Welcome back to MyLot! Barry/Koalemos is here and is active: @Asylum is his name.
You will probably have many questions about the site, since it has changed drastically since 2010! Apart from the information you'll find under "Help" next to your username and avatar at the top left of every page, you might like to read through this discussion (where there's also a link to the site where I've posted a short guide to using the website):
I've been a member here since October 2006 and I and several others have tried to help newcomers to understand the site and to get the best out of it. I've...

Wow, it is great to see you back here, although it will be difficult to remember to call you Katerina (that is a beautiful name, by the way) rather than Thea.

@thea09 I don't know who I am either - ha ha! I know I am "different" everywhere I go - makes it all too confusing I'm sure! I write about "my world" - about fellow parents, kids, and situations! Nice to see you even in a flying visit - all is good when real life takes over!

I took a look at your profile page because from what i can recall there's no username of katerina here , no wonder it's @thea09 . However , i remember your profile picture so well , from the other site . Nice to see that you are back too ! Welcome back.

@SIMPLYD Our pics are a great way of us connecting when we have different user names. I had no idea when I followed a few friends here this morning that I wouldn't show up as Katerina as I changed my user name earlier today. Good to see you here too.

Deborah-Diane just told me about this site, so here I am. Happy to see you are here. I missed you. Happy also to see Koalemos is around somewhere. I would love to follow him too.

It does seem confusing at first as it did for me, but the more I came in, I started experimenting with all the tabs, and finally I found my way around. It wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. Now, I can find my way around blindfolded, although I wouldn't try it that way. I was gone two years and I came back August 9th. I am so glad I did too. I have been having so much fun interacting with others.

I am not sure if we have met here or there before. Never mind. This is myLot and yours too and so let's tango.
Welcome back
