Ahhhh! I am BACK! I see a lot of new names, many of you probably don’t even know me (or, therefore, care a whit that I am back), but *I don’t care! No one is going to rain on my parade, you know why?
- I…am…back! YAY
Yay! Yay! Yahoo!
I am doing the Snoopy dance on my chair!!!
Huh??? 
Who are you?
Oh what the heck. I’ll celebrate anything. Yay! Yay! Yay!!
Wellcome baaaaaack!!!
Welcome back. Where have you been? Do you have any idea what time it is, young, um, person? tap tap tap
Go to your room!
A few questions about where you were:
Is it coastal?
If so, is there anything there worth looting?
If so, long would it take for the military to respond to a Nordic raiding party?
Woot!, There he (or she) is. Woot!
Okay, I am a she.
I left shortly after having my baby (she is now 2 and a half), so I don’t blame any of you for not remembering me. I have been gone a long time 
I also worked - for a while. Now I am SAHM.
That’s the last two years, in a nutchell.
Just glad to be back.
You know, of course, that you will have to go through the initiation ritual again ?..
and welcome back !
So, uh…
did you bring pie?
Well, heck, I remember you! You may, of course, not remember me.
Welcome to the Stay-At-Home-Mom club! Turn on the soap opera and pass me them bon-bons, won’t you? 
Well, I remember you, and I am just so glad you’re back. I mean, who was there to post about… uh, that, uh, thing that you did all the time. And then there are the threads about… uh, you remember, that other thing.
So, uh, welcome. back.
Welcome back! You do know that there’s a new board rule that you have to provide party favors for everyone, don’t you? They don’t have to be fussy, but they do have to be festive. Then you have to vacuum up all the confetti.
Welcome back!
How’s your mom doing?
Robin
MsRobyn,
Thanks for asking, she is doing well. She is getting married in Feb, to a Canadian guy that she has been with for around three years. They had moved out to Calgary, but came back.
Glad to hear it! Give her my best.
Robin
Welcome back, completely-random-stranger-person! snogs
Hey, welcome back! Good to hear your mom’s doing well too!
How are the kids?
hugs
Welcome back! (I don’t think I was posting when you left, but I’d been lurking for a long time, so I remember you even if you don’t remember me.)
Welcome back, Poysyn!
Welcome back, young Padawan!
What did you bring me?
Hey, girl! Welcome back!
Hi, I remember you!
Nice to see old names reappearing for reasons other than zombie-threadhood
