Bon giorno! Ho bisogno della mia dose giornaliera di abbracci.
I was rummaging through my old stuff and you know what I've found? My old bong. I hate to admit it but I was a stoner on my late high school and early college years.

Ahh, got it. I can understand some members' resistance (Miss G, for instance) to avatar changes now. Since I've been absent there are several avatar changes I've noticed and it does make identifying names/friends that little bit slower/awkward. Maybe I should revert to my original image (just to confuse the issue even further), which most seem to automatically associate with me.

Bon jour ma petit! Ça va?

Oh cool, thanks! It certainly felt much more like "meeting" some of you. And I heard you made Agent's fingerless mittens. I'm jelly! They're fantastic. :)

Hey, hello little blob !! :)
How are you doing ?
You speak French now ?...

Well i don't have a problem with Avatar changes ( i change mine now and again but usually only temporarily because i don't get used to own new avatar xD) but it definitely makes the identification a bit more difficult - at least in the beginning :).

I actually forgot what your previous avatar was - obviously it was a viking themed one though :)

I wouldn't be too ashamed of that. I had plenty of vices growing up, but that's one of the less destructive ones you can have, in my opinion. Admittedly, I have a somewhat biased view, as I depend on some things from "stoner life" to help me manage my nausea and pain issues, but even though I don't have interest in treating it in a recreational manner these days, I don't think it's nearly as destructive as a vice as alcohol and harder drugs can be.

You do remember that I used to go on French lessons,right?
I used to smoke it to have fun but it wasn't everyday it was like twice a week.

Yeah... :"> Thanks a lot !!! It's been a while ! Well, not that much... I sometimes have the impression I've been on this thread for years. I'm glad he actually wears them...and that I was lucky enough to knit the right size ! :)
Yes ! I remember you didn't feel much comfortable with it...
Are thing getting better ? :)

DOing ok. But if you didn't get it,I said that I need my daily dose of hugs.

Aloha all, glad to hear that most of you are doing well and sincerely hope that those who aren't feel better very soon.
No big news here today, feeling OK, drinking coffee and waking up.

Welcome back O' Viking Bard. :-)

Guess who's gonna get hugged.

Hello, white maned one ;-) How are you? Its nice to be back in the sane world of GOG after a long time.

Hello there! Glad to hear you're feeling okay, and that you've got coffee. Both very important. ;) I finally found the motivation to put on some coffee a few minutes ago. Now I'm looking for the motivation to actually to pour a cup now that it's brewed. :)

Where have you been? Haven't seen you for some time.
