I’m back! But I had to re-register because I no longer have my original email address and didn’t know my password. And papergirl seems more fitting now than my old username anyway, since I no longer make body products but I do still deliver newspapers.  
Nutshell update: My SO and I split about 3 years ago, and I moved to my very own Teeny Tiny House with the two youngest kids, TBone and the Weeping Princess. They’re both nearly as tall as me now, and I believe they may both be smarter than their mother, so heaven help me there. Oh, and I just finally got internet, obviously.  
A year ago I got back together with the first love of my life, after having not even laid eyes on him in over 20 years. It’s very sweet and goofy and almost embarassingly romantic for someone (me) who was so NOT looking to get into another relationship. Luckily, he fits my main criteria for a partner: A. he is an actual adult who does things like take care of the yard and car, and B. he lives an hour away. It’s practically perfect. Who could ask for more? 😃  
Anyway…hello again! Hopefully I’ll see some folks who look familiar as I get to know the boards again.  
Best,  
karol

Hi, papergirl–I remember you well. I jumped all over you when you were describing your marital situation. (I was a newbie, didn’t know which tone was appropriate for MPSIMS and which for The Pit, was going through my own divorce issues, blah blah blah). Glad you’re back and gladder things seem to have worked out for you.

Hello Papergirl. I remember you, welcome back.

You might want to touch base with a mod, I think that you are technically in violation of some rules - but I’m sure they’ll help you sort it. (oops, on review I see someone already gave the advice.)
