Spoiled ones :) . I have a Jack Russell, a chihuahua, a solid white cat, an orange tabby and a Siamese along with about 25 very large and beautiful pond goldfish. All but the fish are rescues which, IMHO, are the very best.

Welcome to The Planet ArtistLady
You'll be happy to know there are others here from AL, various areas
Nice to see you're a lover of rescues, I have a house full of kitty rescues...much more than I ever wanted.

I hope you enjoy yourself here and make lots of new friends to last a lifetime.

Hi, just wanted to say hello from England. Just chilling here with my little girl, watching Star Wars and getting ready to go to her friend's food drive, something I never heard of before, it's a party collecting food to donate to a local cause. Yesterday we went to a 2nd birthday party. Busy social life these kids have...

Hope everyone is enjoying the run up to Christmas. Hugs to anyone who isn't...

peace :hippie:

__________________________________________________ ______________


Tell us a little bit about yourselves!

I'm a typical Virgo , and a Rooster in Chinese horoscope.
I'm a very down to earth type who loves nature though I don't get to be outdoors much due to the sad English weather. I am Spanish born and raised in Australia. Currently living in London UK for family reasons.
Broke up with my GF about a year ago and I think its now a good time to get myself out there again. Maybe start the new year with fresh ideas, meet new faces and just enjoy life. I work from home so I don't get to socialize much. I guess also because I have OCD and this sort of gets in the way and I'm just trying now to work around it and live with it.

What excites you?
The things that excite me the most would be my work as I do get to meet a lot of interesting people everyday. Right now I'm excited to be here writing all this as it has been a while.

Where are you in this big bold world?
At the moment Im in London


What are your hobbies?
My hobbies are reading , My favourite authors are Poppy Z Brite and James Herbert.

I love to cook. I enjoy Mediation and yoga. I also enjoy building websites, though I'm self taught I really enjoy it.


What brought you here?
Im here because I wanted a place on the web where I can just hang out and write, and read and learn. I enjoy forums and I just felt that it was about time I came out of my hiding hole. :praying: Thank you

Just a quick hello from NYC.

Hello Hello Dash

Welcome
 

Hello to new members of the Planet. You will Love it here!! Make yourselves at home, but no mud on the carpets please :)

Hi everyone! So, I joined here about a year ago, lurked for a while, forgot about this place, and then re-found it again today. Figured it's high time to introduce myself, so here goes:

My name is Liam, and I'm a trans-masculine person in my mid-twenties living in California. I've identified as a lot of things over the last ten years or so, from lesbian to butch to genderqueer to FTM, and just when I thought I had it all figured out, now I'm finding that calling myself genderqueer or TG butch seems to fit better. I'm not super comfortable talking about this in the trans-specific online spaces that I frequent, as I fear that any expression of this shift in my identity would be interpreted as regret or a desire to detransition, which is not how I feel at all. So I appreciate this space, which appears to have people with a variety of different identities represented, accepted, and engaged in dialogue.

Other things about me: I love hiking, backpacking, and just being out in nature. I also really enjoy swimming, reading, and singing. I'm extremely introverted, and quite shy, especially at first. I'm currently finishing up a masters degree in social work, which keeps me extremely busy, but I love it. That's all for now; hope to get to know some of you a bit more later. :)

Welcome to BFP!

As you have noted, we have every identity under the rainbow represented here and are accepting of all.

I hope that you feel comfortable and know that you are welcomed here:)

Just wanted to welcome all the newbies.
