Well, as today is day 100 of logging into MFP for me, I guess its occurred to me that I'm going to be here for the long run.
When I chose my screen name, I didn't really know too much about the community aspect of MFP, or how much I'd really enjoy logging in and seeing how you fine folks are doing every day.
As such, I just wanted to say 'Hi, I'm Jenni'. Feel free to call me BigChangeNeeded, or BCN, or whatever, but if I'm going to be staying a while, I thought I'd share my real name.

I am Laura,
If you want to you can change your username in the main settings but site only allows you to change it once.
I do tend to think of you as a possum in a box of sweet pastries, I think of everyone as whatever the pictures are no matter how little sense that makes. I think that might be to do with my aspie brain. Clearly Kathy is not a glass jar of white stuff either.0 -
My name is Peg. My picture is me from 5 years ago, at a class reunion. I have another reunion this year, and I'm almost back down to that weight.0

Nice to meet you all
Yes, my pic is a possum in a box of pastries. There was a news story a couple of years ago (from Australia, I think) about a possum who broke into a shop, and then binged so hard on cakes that it couldn't even run away when the shop staff turned up for work. I saw the picture and thought 'That's me', ha ha.
I'm not ready to change my picture yet, hell, I don't really have many pictures of me (I run as soon as I see a camera!), although I'm sure that I will do eventually.1 -
