Hello from Boston!
« on: January 29, 2008, 02:11:57 »
 :wave:  Hello to so many old friends and, I hope, to many new ones! 

Long ago when Playmofriends was first getting started, I was known hereabouts as "Madame X."  Having come to Playmofriends from an unhappy place, I had cast aside my former persona of "Indianna" in favor of the mysterious and new moniker of Madame X.  As time passed, Madame X became self-righteous and boring and drifted away from Playmobil and all of the good folk at Playmofriends.  Now, having gotten over myself :doh:, I would like to reclaim my true identity and become "Indianna" again.  Besides, I really like the avatar picture that Sylvia created for me so many many years ago  :love: (Thanks again, Sylvia!)

So . . . I really look forward to catching up with everyone and to jumping back into the Playmobil conversation! 

- Anne

Hi Anne! :wave:
It's so good to read from you again! Missed you lots. :*)

I'll have a look for the original photo your avatar was resized from - pretty sure I still have it saved on a disc somewhere. We can make it bigger, if you like. :)

Hi Anne and welcome! Looking forward to hearing your views on the development of Playmo, both good and bad, since you've been away.

Hello, Anne ...  :wave:

You picked a really interesting and very exciting time to return.

As you've probably already noticed, Playmofriends is continuing to grow. Not just in numbers, but with lots of wonderful new members.
And, Playmobil is producing great new sets faster than most of us can find the money to buy them (or the places to put them) ... :lol: 

We're spending the Winter on St. Thomas in the warm and beautiful United States Virgin Islands.
Susan and I spent four hard winters in Boston when we were much younger.
Now that we're a bit older, we both prefer the Caribbean sunshine ... ;)

You've been missed, Anne ... And, I'm very happy that you're back!

All the best,
Richard

Sometimes never clearing out old files really does pay off! :)

Your original avatar shoot was back in October 2002. 8}

Here's a PF-sized Indianna avatar you can use if you ever feel like upgrading...

Hi,
I look forward to hearing from you too.  I'm new here and still finding my way around.  Someday I hope to be able to take some pictures and submit them.  I like most anything that is Playmobil but would not call myself a "serious collector", I'm more of a "serious player"  :lol:
