    The prodigal returns

    Hey Folks.


    I feel a little like the prodigal daughter here... I was here, I loved here, I lived here, I ate noodles while typing my innermost thoughts here, I debated, I cried, I read, for a long time this was my alter universe. Then I left. No momentous thing happened, I just left.... I closed the door softly and moved on.

    Now, I feel the need to find that place, to fill my rapidly depleting word jungle, the place that on cold nights kept me warm.

    So... Hi... Its good to be here, I hope I find some of the people I used to so much enjoy, and if not, I hope I find some new ones.
    I must warn you that I don't do pretend critiques, I am honest, and if you don't like honesty, well, don't read me.

    Welcome back to WF. It's always good to see "old" members return. We had to do a massive pruning of the database a few months ago, which explains that diminished post count.

    Welcome back, Lorlie. Hope you quickly settle in again, and become as comfortable here as you were before; though mind those noodles on your keyboard.


    The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
    Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
    The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
    And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
    The river of death has brimmed his banks,
    And England's far, and Honour a name,
    But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
    "Play up! play up! and play the game!"

    Vitai Lampada (Sir Henry Newbolt, 1897)

    Hi Lorlie. Welcome back.
    “The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” ~ James Allen

    "Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." ~ Henry Van Dyke
