Hi

[Guest Edu]

Hi all!

Before anything else, I think it's due to thank and congratulate all the site's staff for the wonderful work that is being done here. I had been googling for decent information resources and when I was close to giving up I stepped in here. After checking the place a bit, I was amazed: just following a few links I had found answers to questions that I had been struggling with for months. Yet it was not just a virtual heaven full of high-quality information sources; but there is an amazing community that flourishes around. And, as if that was not good enough, at the hearth of the site there is the purest goal any person could ever work for: saving lives.

I don't want to step into the religion topic, but I must say that the fact that this site exists, plus the fact that it has managed to be found by enough people to grow and mature (despite the huge ammounts of junk search engines toss around any relevant keyword), simply matches every definition of "miracle" I know about.

I could go on with praising this place forever; but I'd bet I couldn't say anything you don't already know. (Anyway, if you want me to go on with the praise, just ask. )

So I'll now focus into what this section is about and tell you a bit about myself:

I am a 23 years old MTF. I haven't undergone any physichal change yet. I started psychological therapy some months ago, although I think I'm making more progress on my own than through the therapy... anyway, progress is a good thing regardless of where it comes from, so I won't bother too much about this.

I have been always quite good with Maths and Sciences, and I've been into the computing field since I got my first computer when I was 13. I'm now trying to make a living off the skills in programming and web development I have honed over the years.

Among my hobbies I should highlight RPGs, Power Metal, tolkienish literature, and most kinds of mind-challenging games. I have also interest on ocultism (tarot, runes, and related stuff).

I'm probably forgetting something, but I always do, and this is getting quite long; so that's all, at least for now.

WELCOME!

The welcoming ladies should be by shortly. They always have delicious tidbits to offer to put the newbies at ease. I'll look into the parlor and see who is about.

In the meantime, settle in, post your views on today's topics, and feel at home. This is a great place to be.

Hi, Ethain, and welcome to Laura's! You've entered the new member's lounge, and although Sally is on a

road trip, she left me a supply of her world famous cookies and I have my own home made lemonade,

so relax and enjoy.

Obviously, I don't have to tell you about the site, you've seen that for yourself. The other thing

you may have noticed is the sense of community, friendship and love than runs through it

like a warm spring. And the "miracle" thing, I agree with that completely. This site has for me been

nothing short of life changing.

This is a moderated site, so all posts are reviewed before they are allowed to be seen. It's done

to protect the members and to ensure the continued existence of the site.

I'm sure you will find friends here. You've found a new home. Enjoy!

Welcome to Lauras Ethain,

The playground is certainly a wonderful place mostly due to the people that it is composed of.

Many people, myself inculded would be lost without it.
