Old member coming back!
« on: January 11, 2013, 03:07:38 PM »
Hi everyone!
 I am just taking a minute to re0introduce my self. I started collecting MLP again back in 2000 or 2001. I was on the My Little Pony Trading Post and then here when this site opened up. That was back when we lived in Texas.  When we made the move to CA in 2005, I had to pack up my collection and keep it in boxes because we moved 3 times in one year! Now we've moved to WA in 2010. My ponies were still in the boxes they were in when we moved from TX. In the 2 years we've been in WA, we have moved another 2 times! I can say, I am *so* done with moving. It's a good thing we've bought our first house.
 My poor ponies are still in stasis in their boxes. We have so much work to do around this farm, I have no idea when they will "hatch". Right now they are hibernating in the attic. I check them every so often to make sure no mice or anything are getting in and destroying them. So far so good.
 I miss the old house we were renting in TX. I had a Pony Room and everyone on shelves and the playsets laid out. Including the Paradise Estate - which I ended up selling before we started this moving marathon. I had a Pony Meet there once. We all had so much fun. But now I've lost contact with everyone from there. It's kinda sad. This new place is just a little old 2 bedroom farm house. It has an added on room at the back, but it gets so much sun, I'd hate to set up everything and then have the sun fade ponies and playsets. Besides we are using as a computer/giant pantry/laundry room. Maybe one day I will get everyone set up in the little bedroom.

 So is there any one in Washington? Are there any Pony Meets to go to?

Welcome back!!!!!  How come you had to move so much? Are you in the Military?(wondering cause of your avatar picture)

I hope that you are able to get all of your ponies out sometime again. But you can look at it this way.....at least you did not sell off your collection. :)

Welcome back!!!!!!

Hi Avene!
 No, we aren't in the military (although those are my two trucks in the avie though!!).
 My husband and I moved to CA so he could help his sister with her computer business. When she had shown him how stubborn she was to his ideas and her business was circling the drain, we moved again to help his elderly parents and their ranch. But when they sold off all the cows, there wasn't really any reason for us to be there (and we *really* disliked the area), we moved to WA. Add in one whacked out landlord for another move to another rented house, and the search for our own house finally began!
 I can't wait to be able to unpack them, but and just not ready with a display area/room yet.

Are those life sized MLP plushies in your avie? They are *so* cool!

WOW! Sounds like you kept busy! I am happy that you have your own place now. Its very nice to own something(pay towards owning something). I know, I bought my house 8 years ago.

I bet you cant wait to see all of them. I love to look at my ponies and all of there cute eyes and pretty colors. :)

YES!!! They are the big ones! I love them so much! They are my pride and joy of my collection! I keep them covered so they dont get dusty.   

I think I remember seeing you around back when I joined. I was also gone for a few years after them core 7 ponies came out in 2007. And the G4's are what brought me back and now I am here to stay! Happy to have you back!!!  :biggrin:

 back!  Moving takes so much energy doesn't it!  Still, it will definitely be worth having lugged your ponies all around when you finally find the time to open them again.  :frolic:
