Hi JD..I'm fine now that I'm here and finished with that nightmare 'view and the gangsters'...

How are the girls?...are they dancing yet?

Did u get banned? I know they were trying to silence everyone..and I know you wouldn't stand for that.

Thanks for coming over..I hope some of the others come too. I was relieved when I saw your name as a new poster on here.
 

 
The girls are great. Ava is kind of dancing. She wiggles around a lot. We're going to try to sign her up for a class next year. Hopefully she likes it. Harper is still too young.

I didn't get banned I just came over because I would miss posting with so many of you. I'm going to see how long I can get away with posting on both boards before I'm banned on the other one.

Great, that you're here!.....And, when they read this posting you WILL be banned...
 

 
Probably. Oh well.

FACT!  Thats how I got banned (pretty sure) LOL

@ ultrablue...Welcome!...I've always enjoyed reading your posts...always so well spoken and respectful..

We appreciate you and your very interesting views.

I know that Dori worked very hard to try to find you. She is our inhouse detective, and does an amazing job with leading the posters here.... You know the ones that got tangled in that mess on the other site. Eventually our hope is that they will all come home..No one's views should be stifled or changed. And that won't happen on this site, where everyones' opinion counts!

So again...Welcome!

Hi to everyone who is joining and I don't know and vice versa-trust me when I say I have read your posts and applauded
I work with 2 different screens so I often look over and see/lurk alot

Hello everyone!  I was Ultrablue60 on the old View board and just dropped the "60" here.  I started out on the All My Children board and had some interesting experiences there. Came to the View board shortly before the AMC board was shut down.  I had watched AMC from the beginning when I was a college freshman so it was traumatic when I learned it was cancelled.  To add insult to injury, it was cancelled right after I retired on August 31, 2011.

I am a 64 year old never married woman with no children.  Would love to have gotten married and have children but it was not in the cards for me apparently. I have a B.S. degree in Social Work and a Master's in Business Administration.  I retired from a large public university and commuted 80 miles round trip daily from my home in Central Illinois for 25 years.  I am not really interested in politics and rarely post on political threads. I am a registered Democrat but do not consider myself a liberal and certainly do not consider myself a conservative.  It depends on the issue which way I lean.

I love to have discussions with people whose opinion is different from mine. I really enjoy learning why and how a person believes a certain way.  By the way, I am a Christian and would probably be considered somewhat conservative in my religious beliefs and practices.

I am so looking forward to posting with everyone on this board.  I became frustrated with the old View Board and was never allowed to post on the Refugee board which is just as well.  I got banned and consider it the highest compliment. I got weird vibes from that board from the very beginning.

One of my flaws is that I tend to get long winded when I write.  Writing is such a natural and easy way to express my thoughts that I just get carried away. So before I drag this out and wear out my welcome I will end here and just say thanks so much for starting this board and providing a place where mature adults can play. 

What a great post and a pleasure to read. Sounds like you'll bring a really interesting viewpoint to the board and can't wait to hear your voice. I'm sure we'll have plenty of discussions about topics other than politics!

Thank you so much, Shiny! I am certain I will have ample opportunity to join in the discussions here.  Who knows, without all the partisan bashing, I might even jump into a political thread or two.

Welcome Ultrablue. It's a pleasure to see you join this forum.. One where your opinions will be accepted & respected...I truly admire the calm, patient way you were able to deal with some on the View MB..You were always the consummate lady. 

I share your flaw of being long winded. So, you will never get a complaint from me..
 

Thank you for your kind words, Sec!  Believe me, at times it was a real struggle trying to remain calm and patient and ladylike on the View board. I enjoyed reading your posts over there and greatly respected your point of view. I look forward to posting with you here and getting to know you.  And if you become long winded, I won't complain either!

Thank you for the great welcome, Spunky!  I really appreciate Dori being such a great detective and I tried very hard to get here.  I also appreciate your kind words and support.  I did more lurking than posting on the old board, partly because I was so frustrated by some of the garbage I was reading, and partly because I often could not log on.  I look forward to posting with you here along with the others.  Already, this place is like a humongous breath of fresh air!

Hello Possums!
Excuse my vanity, but for better or worse, I doubt anyone would not know me.
I'm grateful for the forum and the invitation to join.
Tomorrow, I will post what happened to me on the viewrefugee board.
I doubt my case will be unique.
The only thing I ask of the new administrator is to please let me know if I'm doing something wrong and give me a warning before banning me.
 

Welcome Dolly! A lot of people have been asking about you so we're glad you made it. Can't wait to hear your story. I solemnly promise that you and everyone else here will never be banned without warning or explanation. You also don't need a playhouse because your views, cartoons, and pics are welcome here.

I have always been Teachesk since the old amc message to this one. I was banned form the viewrefugee board for having beauitful and intelligent friends. I live in Pacifica Ca which is the second coastal town south from San Francisco. I m so happy to see all these familar faces. I am giving a math workshop for the next two days so I will probably not be back here until Thursday. I need to go over my power point but I am not to motivated!   

hi everyone, think  you shiny for letting me know about this site.
