Just wanted to let you guys know that I am still around. I recently was hospitalized for depression and am now on work disability. Yesterday I was in court for an increase in child support and have been having a very stressful life. I am glad that ST is here as an escape for me. Love reading everyone's posts and seeing what everyone is doing. I just got home 2 days ago and this is my first time logging on in a long time. I will try my best to contirbute a bit more but as my state of mind is not at it's best right now and I have no money for shopping (very sad Christmas this year) I might not have much to contribute. I hope all is well for everyone. I wish every very Happy Holidays and am eager to be back on line.
I am so sorry to hear you are having a difficult time. This has been quite the year for many of us. I am glad you are back on line and look forward to your posts.
So sorry to hear that you're having a rough time :( I hope you do use it as an escape and even though the main premise is about shopping, dont feel excluded, there's lots more to talk about. Welcome back.
I'm sorry you're experiencing some difficult times. Like Domino said, many of us have had a challenging year. I don't shop nearly as much as I used to, but I do enjoy looking at other's purchases and the conversations outside of shopping. I also found great support among the ladies here. Sometimes just writing things out and getting an objective opinion or just some empathy helps me not feel so alone in my perils.
Glad you stopped by and said hello, and we'll look forward to seeing you around more (((hugs)))

Sorry, Alegria. I wish for you better times very soon.
Thank goodness we talk about other things on ST; I think that's why the site has been going strong for so long.
Holidays are extra stressful. I just try to remind myself that they are days when we're supposed to feel cheery and merry set on a calendar that real life doesn't necessarily follow.
I'm sorry to hear things have been rough for you lately. We are here for you to chat with, be it about fashion or anything else. May the new year bring fewer challenges.
So sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. But I'm glad to hear you're getting some help. You're definitely not alone--I think there are a LOT of people hoping that 2011 brings some better times.
I'm glad your back in any capacity. I missed seeing the amazing outfits you used to put together! I loved the unexpected pop of color you'd throw into an outfit. It always made me smile.
One of the things I love about ST is that we are such a community and we can talk about everything here. We're so much more than just a shopping board. Please stick around and post when you feel up to it. We'd miss you.
