Hi Everyone

Thanks for admitting me to the fold.
I'm a single forty-something CD, now happily acknowledging my feminine side as the dominant side of my personality.
Which means no more guilty and expensive purges.
And also developing and expressing further my passion for ladies fashion!

I've had an opportunity to explore this site since first chancing on it a couple of days ago and I must say I'm impressed.

Hoping to become an active member of the community

Hugs to all

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie--
Welcome to the forum! There is a lot to like about this site, and the way that it is administered. I'm always happy to hear about "no more guilt."

Thanks Anita

Although I'd love to have all those purged dresses back!

Anita - thank you for the compliment, girlfriend, but you know as well as I do that it's due to the teamwork among all the members and the ModSquad!

Thanks Silver Lady
(isn't that the title of a David Soul song?)

I love the design, and the colour scheme, and that sparkling flower you see at the corner of your eye

Thanks, Virginia

I take it Roanoke must be small enough that you two girls are well acquainted!

Hi, Stephanie -

Well, Roanoke is not all that small, but Virginia and I are married so we had better be well acquainted!

Thanks Susan: I think it was once said that Liverpool is the second largest Irish city in the World

Although perhaps its changed somewhat in recent years

Hi Stephanie

I am one of those most unusual Liverpudlians in that as far as I have been able to trace I have no Irish ancestry being Welsh on my father's side and Scottish on my mother's. I cannot say the same about my children as my wife's family came over here in 1846 during the great potato famine. You only have to come here to realise how strong the Irish influence is here. If you head east out of the city you suddenly cross an invisible boundary where accent changes from Scouse ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouse ) to Lancastrian in the space of about a mile.

The Scouse dialect has very strong Irish roots. Liverpool has seen a huge influx of people especially in the 19th Century. 13 million people emigrated to North America through Liverpool between 1830 and 1930. All these things had an influence on the way we speak. I have been told by American friends of mine I sound like John Lennon.

Regards
