Hi!

I'm Liz, a new member from Montreal, Quebec. I run my own business making a variety of things (don't worry, I'm not here to spam links to my store, I like having places where I can just hang out online instead of trying to turn every conversation into a sales pitch), and I have a ridiculous range of seemingly random and unconnected hobbies, culled from a very weird 40 years on this planet. Let's just say 2020 has been a less interesting and stressful than average year for me, despite having major surgery last week. 

I've just started re-collecting G1 ponies, trying to rebuild the lost massive herd of my childhood. The G1 retro series is a boon in that regard, giving me access to a quick, NIB version of an old friend while I stalk vintage listings for the Real Deal. I also love the FiM TV series, so I can see myself straying in that direction eventually. My favourite pony is Gusty, and I'm having problems not blowing my budget on every Gusty that strays across my monitor!

I'll probably mostly only pop in to the sales threads for a little while, my stamina being low post-surgery and other commitments on my time ramping up, but as my collection grows, I'm hoping to spend more time in the community, talking pony care and feeding, spa techniques, and sharing photos.

Nice to meet you all!

(P.S. The section in the rules on "what not to put in your intro post" is behind a spoiler tag, and people who haven't made an intro post yet cannot see what's behind spoiler tags, which defeats the purpose. Please consider displaying the What Not To Do section in a way that is available before we newbies do it accidentally! I like following rules and recommendations!)
