Hey 🙂 I'm Lou and I've returned to neopets/TDN after a very long break. I used to be on the TDN news team back in the day!

My long break was mostly due to graduating uni/life changes.

Hope all is well! Trying to catch up on what I've missed over the past however many years hahaha

A welcome back from one former TDN staffer to another.

This is Neomysterion by the way, or D-Pad Doc as I'm known as on many trenches of the net these days, and I was a Global Moderator here back in the early 2010s. Nowadays, I've been reduced down to a lurker. Congrats on graduating uni by the way.

All is well on my end, it's just slow with all these current going-ons is all.

I was deleting old messages from my Inbox last night and I came across our old conversations

That must've been the energy which brought you back 😉

I missed you Lou

Awww haha! It definitely must have been the energy which brought me back 😂😂

I've missed you!

Eh oop chuck! (Or is that Lancastrian?)

Welcome back, always nice to see another Brit Neopian  :)

hahaha I guess "ey up" is Yorkshire! and ditto! 🙂

Hey Lou! How's it going? It's been a while since you've been around here. Hope all is well with you.

Things are good here! Just adjusting to the new school routine still. 🙂

Are we going for regional greetings?

I could try a bit of "a'right me duck?", though I'm not actually from round 'ere, so I'll not do that. 😅

I could try a bit of "a'right me duck?", or maybe a bit of "nah then", though I'm not actually from round 'ere, so I'll not do that. 😅

Hey lovely 🙂 I'm very good thank you! Glad to hear things are good. I actually work in education (a school) now so I'm still settling into the new school routine myself aha!

Hahaha! 😂 I lived in South Yorkshire for 6 years so I was very confused when people suddenly started calling me duck

The Polish guy that used to cut my hair found it even more confusing, as I'm sure you can imagine xD I'm in Lincolnshire and the regional accent here can be so impenetrable it's like it's from another planet! An old fella lived next door to us when we first moved up here (from Bournemouth) and we quite literally could not understand a single word he said. 🤣

My oldest is in 3rd grade and homeschooled. My middle monster is in 1st grade and doing at-home learning through our school division. Lots of Google Meets for her and back and forth between the computer. We're still adjusting our individual learning time so both kiddos get their learning done for the day.

@complicatedwishesI got distracted earlier and meant to ask you what you're doing in the school system. 🙂

Sorry for such a delayed response! I'm useless at checking neo/related forums 🙃! I'm a teaching assistant at a special needs school
