Well hi....
Kind of embarrassed that I haven't been on here in forever...at least, 'forever' enough that my old account now has me as a 'guest'.... anyway, I'm back & hope to be more involved again. Susan & those who knew me then, hello again! I've missed interacting on this site with you wonderful people! And to those I don't know, I look forward to meeting you & talking with you on the forums.
I'm Valerie, an ally living in Gainesville, FL. I work in the healthcare industry behind a desk with my face in the computer, faxes buzzing in one ear, headset on the other ear. I love my job. I go to the Unitarian Church here & love it. I have no TV but I read & write poetry when the muse inspires me. I love animals, nature, God, discovery, hearing people's stories, daydreaming, learning about various things. I believe in the goodness of humanity. I don't own a single pair of white socks....and the socks I do wear aren't necessarily matched, lol.
And.... I have to run catch the bus now.... but I'll be back!!!
--Valerie ;D
PS-- Hey Susan, any chance I can get my old account back? I'll letcha' mull it over....

Welcome back.(:
Hello Valerie,
Welcome back to Susan's.
Many of the people who were here when I first started in 2005 have left.
I kind of left for the better part of 2 years myself, but did checking in occasionally.
Anyway glad you are back too.

Awww, thanks Jillieann, I remember you! Nice to see you.... Love the hair in your avvie!! --Valerie
Well, what's it been? Almost 2 1/2 years? (thanks for keeping my account active!)
2 weeks after my last post, my closest Friend died. Several months after that (and unrelated to Michael's death), I embraced atheism. Since then I've started a blog, made a few new friends, got a really spectacular yearly eval at my job, then got a new boss (lemme' just say she ain't no rocket surgeon). Went overseas this past summer, had a lil' fling while I was there. Eh, day in, day out. I live mostly in my head, not too much to report.
Just thought I'd say hullo again since it's been awhile. I'll be around. Missed y'all...
Happy Trails and Kitty Tails,
~Valerie
