Hi everyone,

I am new here and just wanted to shortly introduce myself to you.
My name is Anya, I’m from Switzerland, and the main reason why I’m here is TJ Thyne, off course. :wink: :icon-biggrin:

I am happy to be here and I’m looking forward to getting to know you all better.

A big thank you for helping me with my registration to Sharon. :wink:

Hi there Anya! Absolute pleasure to have you here. Sorry I have had my head too buried in work to acknowledge your arrival earlier, but I see my mates out there are doing their usual fine job. It's a friendly board!

I apologise sincerely for your last post taking time to register; but as moderator I have to approve the first few post a new member makes, so it all comes to me first. I know it can be frustrating but it is doing a great job of offloading unwanted spam!

Hi, we like you already, post and enjoy. :)

Hi

Thank you for approving my posts. I completely understand that you want to keep out the annoying spam.

You are all so nice here. I have been looking for a message board to join for a while now and whenever I came here I noticed the friendly atmosphere and that's one of the main reasons why I wanted to join this forum. Plus of course, I'm a big fan of TJ. :D

Thank you Sherry. I see you're from Illinois. I have been there since I have family in Springfield IL. I love it. Now I know a whole lot about Abraham Lincoln :icon-biggrin: . Have you ever been to Switzerland?

Hi everyone! :)

I'm Els and I'm new here :)
I'm 38 and I live with my boyfriend in Kapellen (near Antwerp), Belgium. I'm a primary school teacher (my dream job! :D )
I like reading (favourite writer: Alessandro Baricco), riding together on my boyfriend's Harley (a Sporster 883 Hugger), learning Italian (self-study, as a hobby), I like all kinds of riddles like cryptograms, sudoku..., I practice Tai Chi, I like to walk, to laugh, to do fun things in general, just enjoying life's little things :)

I only recently started watching "Bones" on DVD. I've seen season 1 and 2, and am currently watching season 3. Already since early during season 1, Dr. Jack Hodgins is my favourite character, he's smart, funny and so very sweet, yep, I fell in love with him :romance-heartstiny: I love the way he's so sweet with Angela, I love the date on the swing, the way he looks at her when he puts the white rose on her desk, and especially the way he declares his love for her when he burried with Dr. Brennan in the car... It was at that moment that I began to really admire TJ as an actor, he is really a great actor, isn't he :D From what I have read here, he seems to be a very nice man, and he has got such beautiful blue eyes, an open (extraverted) look, and I absolutely LOVE his voice, I think he's got a very beautiful voice!
Meanwhile, I've seen "Validation" on YT, such a lovely, touching little gem, this short movie is, I cried and I smiled...

A big thank you to Sharon, for helping me with registration! :romance-smileyheart:

Els, HELLO. Have a big welcome hug. :text-welcomewave: :happy-bouncycyan:

I'm Steph and I am your friendly local moderator, ie the one that should have approved your post about a day and a half ago. Multitudinous apologies, I don't usually miss my daily check but - well, it's been a pretty hectic time & I thank my comrade-in-arms, the WonderSharon, for her timely reminder. What I want to know is why the post showed up and was clearly visible to Wendy (hi Wendy, long time no see!), but was not visible to Sharon and was still tagged 'waiting to be approved' when I thought I had done it this morning! I wonder if I clicked approval without ticking the appropriate box...

ANYWAY, my strange vagaries apart, you are more than welcome. I hope this is the beginning of many great friendships with the whole site - have yourself a good look round and keep posting!
