Purplebear is a friend from highschool days, who I lost touch with ten years ago, found her again, and invited her to the SDMB!
Welcome!

Welcome purplebear!!!

welcome purplebear! I can already tell you have exceptional taste.
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
I have a morning ritual I do while looking in the mirror that includes a statement eerily similar to the title of this thread.
Have you voted for your favorite, huggable Mullinator today?
Hey, Purple! If Vestal brought you here, you must have something on the ball!
. . . So, where are you?
Welcome, purplebear! Happy to have you

I don’t know what the board’s doing Unc, but she certainly is registered! I just went to one of her posts and pulled her profile, and it came up just fine.
Try the Gummi Bear thread, or the Haiku thread.

Ah, I see my problem. The member profile page is case sensitive. Here’s a corrected link to it.

I stand corrected and offer a hearty welcome to our newest shade of violet.
Well, I just responded to a blanket statement she made in the ‘Mortification’ thread before I saw this thread.
Now I’m sure she was jesting.
Welcome, purplebear.
Ummm…Did VB clue you in as to the connotations of your username?

Hello and welcome, Purplebear! And yes, do ignore that tall man earnestly chatting away with dangling parts of his anatomy. He’s off his meds again.
Uh…you were warned that this place is at times a bit well, peculiar, right? Picture it as a re-education camp for bright students with howling cases of ADD.

Opps wrong thread! Apparently I’ve had too many rum and cokes.

Hello all! First, thank you, VB. You’re special too. SwimmingRiddles, what initiation? Thank you, PurpleCrackwhore(dare I ask about that non de plume?) Mullinator, I wouldn’t touch that with a 10, make that 20 foot pole!.. Eve, I’m in San Antonio, Tx where I just got off the phone with my hubby in UAE(shuddering at the thought of the next ph. bill)! Catrandom, don’t worry, I won’t. Thank you, Unc. Connotations??? Oh, oh. No, he didn’t. What’d I miss?? Veb, well, in that case, I fit right in!!!
Welcome aboard, purplebear. Don’t feel obligated to answer every single post, or else you’ll soon go mad.
Purplebear’s a GIRL?
