So, um, hi?

Hey guys! It’s been a while. A looooong while. Maybe five years or so? Not sure how many folks will remember me, but I was thinking nostalgically about the board and then I remembered that it’s still here.

I have to say, reading the In Memoriam thread was a whole lot of sad and unexpected all at once.

So yeah, since I was last around, I got my Ph.D. and two dogs. It’s amazing how much of my life those two things take up.

Welcome back. What did you get your Ph. D in?

Yo.

I remember the name, but not much else, I’m afraid. however, welcome bacl!

Heya!

welcome back! classics and Montréal, right?

Ancient history. Just about as useless as possible, woo!

And hi again Cub Mistress, Smeghead and Ferret Herder! I don’t know why I thought that the old timers would be gone and there’d be no one I recognized. I should have known better!

I was LaurAnge for ages before I changed to this name, if that jogs anyone’s memory better.

Yes indeed! Although I don’t live in Montreal anymore, which makes me weep daily. I’m still teaching at the university where I got my degree while I look for tenure-track jobs, so who the heck knows where I’ll be next year.

Salve!

Some of us are still keeping it real here :slight_smile:

Hey, it’s you! You’re back! Welcome back! Dissertation didn’t quite kill ya, huh? That must mean you’re stronger than ever. :smiley:

I recognize the name…welcome back!

But you must know you can’t just pop in and talk about your dogs without pics…

Oh my god, Eonwe! It has been AGES. How are things? I’ve also kind of mostly abandoned Facebook so I’m completely out of all loops.

WhyNot, it’s not done trying - I still have to make it a book. We’ll see how that part goes!

And that is a completely fair request. Here is a picture of them as I tortured them for Halloween.

How could I forget someone with as dreamily spectacular a name as Helen’s Eidolon?

Hi! How’s it going? :slight_smile:

What’s an eidolon?

ETA: Okay, I googled that for me. Now I know.

It’s an ancient Greek thing.

I remember you. Not much about you, but I do remember. Welcome back!

Welcome back - did you bring pie?

You have mutts? Pics or it didn’t happen…
You’re and intelligent female?!
How you doin?

Dammit…I missed the edit window.
I didn’t mean to sound like someone couldn’t be intelligent and a woman.
You’re a woman?
You like mutts?
You have a mind?
How u doin?

Aha! Now that rings a bell for me! Hello there!
