I wanted to let everyone know what a great resource this is and look forward to contributing.

My story is very similar to many here with a few different twists. I have come to accept my biology by not fighting it any longer. Maybe add details over time when time is available.

welcome to Susan's.

Hi Julia,

Welcome to our little family. Over 8294 members. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another sister.

I adore your name!!!

Welcome.

Hi, Julia!

Welcome to the family. Come on in and make yourself at home. We don't bite. Well, as long you stay away from my chocolate. 

Look around, read much, ask many questions (or don't, it's not a command, do what you like). We look forward to getting to know you better.

love,
-maggie

Hi Julia and welcome to the family! You have been adopted and I as well look forward to getting to know you and hearing your story. I would leave Maggies chocolate alone as well, people have disappeared after taking it. *giggle* She usually has cookies though. BIG HUG! 

Welcome Julia,

I take it your name wasn't chosen at random?

Hi Julia, welcome to Susan's!

Hi Julia, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm up near Boston.  Grab some snacks and I'll see you around the site! Hugs, Devlyn

Hello again,

I originally wanted to get the introduction post out of the way and try not to get too wordy with my first post. I am surprised that I am gushing over the responses by everyone.

As far as the user name goes, I could come up with a story about how random events have changed my life. Truthfully, stochastic was chosen because it was unique.

Big hugs to everyone even to those who do not share their chocolate. 

Julia
