I've found you - at last

The closure of Bubblews has meant that my hand has been forced. Yes, I have now come to myLot so that I can catch up with writers who I've not been in contact with for some time. It isn't really the fault of the 'blews site, to be fair. It's my darling barnacle baby, about whom I talk (and write) about a little too much at times. Our dear little boy is almost one! Can you believe it? It is almost 18 months since I outed my geriatric pregnancy to you all. Anyway, we are all well. I'll spend the next few days attempting to catch up with long lost friends on here. Happy Monday!

I'm so pleased to see you here, and I can't believe your little man is almost a year old. I remember following you through your pregnancy and the birth. Welcome here.

@BellaDoc The nice thing about MyLot is that you can make money by just commenting. Some of my days are so busy that I can't even think about starting a discussion. However, I do enjoy reading the discussions and posting for a few minutes. The bank still goes up when I do this.

@BellaDoc Just outside of Brecon. . .But it is the biggest town near us, and one that most people can make a half decent attempt at pronouncing correctly! I am glad that you liked it!

I tend to only see the friendly aspects of people - I am a little naive that way. Thanks for the welcome @GardenGerty Love the name BTW

We have all been forced to some degree by Bubblews. I blame them for everything that happened there. There are no excuses for them. But we are all where we belong now.

@BellaDoc - You've arrived at a good time. Lots of old friends here and new ones to meet. The great thing is that you'll actually earn a few pennies as you go exploring.

Welcome here and lets just enjoy it. I hope it works out. I still don 't find it right for articles, but I am going to use it for creative writing and Bubblews type posts. It feels more honest and safer here.
