Ohhh... Trollhättan sounds great! My aunt and uncle used to have a farm in Minnesota that was called Trollhaugen Farm... it was a century farm meaning it had been in the same family for over a century before they bought it. Best part is when they moved back to Cali they sold it back to a member of the original family.
Thanks for setting this up TiramaSue! I kept my same name but dropped the numbers since they weren't needed.
<-- no clue what that smiley means I just like it.

Thanks, Tirama!
I'm languishing about 25 miles north of Tampa Fl. I lived in San Francisco before I came here and was used to that you could walk down the street with your hair practically on fire at 3am and no one would bat an eye.
Here, its a matter of public concern if you stay out after 10pm to return a library book to the book receptacle.
Oh, well I'm old.....![]()

Hi again and thanks for the welcomes ![]()
I´m gonna quote myself from the PM I sent to Tirama:
"Hi!
My name is Anki and I´m a lurker!
Phew, glad to get that off my chest ![]()
I have been following this thread from the start and will be so happy if you could PM me the new site where you would be.
Maybe I even start posting...
I´ve been on the forums since the beta stage and as you can see by my number of posts I´m not an avid poster.
But in my mind I have created many answers to all of your posts
"
That´s me ![]()
Wendy: Actually troll has the same meaning in Swedish
and our house is actually near the woods.It´s a little like Snowwhite... We are feeding the birds and there are birds, squirrels, mice and deers who come eating and in the night the badgers are there too ![]()
gamergirl: I´m pretty sure that comes from where I live, how cool is that ![]()

Like Gamergirl, I dropped the number on my name. I never was sure why I needed it, as I never saw another Noelle on the forums, but oh well. Maybe like me, they were more of a lurker.
Now, I live in SE Virginia, but I've lived all over. California, Hawaii, Scotland, Spain, and now here (I was a Navy brat). As they say down here, I'm not Southern by birth, but I got here as fast as I could! ![]()
Welcome, Anki. Like you, I was a member for years before I posted anything. Mostly because of the drama, as evidenced in the last 24 hours. It took the finish your games challenge to draw me out. It was exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it. Glad to see so many of the regulars here.

Hi Noelle, Welcome, I'm so glad to see you here. ![]()
I hope you will get comfortable and post whenever you feel like it.....maybe post occasionally in the Word Games? lol.

Thanks, Barr, glad to see you, too!
I hope to be more active in this forum than I was in the old one. It was hard to keep up in there sometimes! ![]()
I'm up to try the word games. Not promising I'll be any good at them, but I'll try anything once.

Welcome, Anki. It's really fun to hear where people are from. My ancestors immigrated from Sweden.

Noelle, Welcome! Glad you joined us refugees.
Barre, I love your avatar picture. I have one I'd like to use, but haven't figured out how to upload it.

I'm in Minnesota, Minneapolis, actually, so it's somewhat urban.
