i'm lorraine, new to these boards but not new to the mag. been reading it off and on for about 5 years. i'm an old lady, relatively speaking- i'm 45, married, the mother of two boys, ages 14 and 2 (second marriage-second kid syndrome...). i'm a veteran of several other message boards, primarily two dedicated to pearl jam- they are very political and so have forums on their boards that are devoted to political talk. however, since this divisive election season began (and really before that), the climate there has been almost intolerable as there is a handful of ultra-right wingnuts who tend to hijack the board and generally shit on anyone who disagrees with them. i haven't bothered with them since obama kicked republican ass on nov 4th. i figured, what more can i say? we elected a center-left, feminist, half-black democrat for president- my work here is thru. the rest is up to him. and i'm pretty confident that he's up to the job.
soooooo, here i am, desiring some girl company. hello everyone! peace, lorraine |

Welcome y'all please have some rocky road brownies and a mudslide. Please post on any existing forums, and if you'd like to start a new one please suggest it first in the Bust Community Forum. Cheers!

I started reading Bust a few months ago after spotting the issue with the Gossip's Beth Ditto on the cover. I thought 'Hell, if there's a magazine cool enough to use Beth Ditto as a covergirl, they're cool enough for me.' Next thing I knew, I was in love with Bust. As soon as I realized there was message board [today, about an hour ago] I HAD to join.
My name is Carly [or call me Carrpet, either one is fine], I'm in my late teens, and I'm from the Chicago suburbs. I really look forward to getting to know everyone! |

Well, hello hello everyone! Another newbie... I discovered Bust mag while tripping along the internet highway tonight (or should I say this morning? Ooooh... Just looked at the clock - I need to get to bed!) and have been reading ever since, enjoying it immensely. This mag is fab! Newly divorced after a 28 yr. marriage, and other than that, I am in dire need of a JOB right now. Can't wait to chat more and become better acquainted with everyone, but like I said... I need to get some zzzz's!!! ~~Sherry, AKA Dragonflybee, AKA The Cosmic Woman (but any one of those will do)

Hi, my name is Wendy. I used to post on these threads several years ago and then I didn't have a computer for a while, so I stopped posting. I just moved to Tucson, Arizona after living in Olympia, Washington for several years. I sling coffee and bagels until I go back to school in the spring.

Hey Nova! I see you're in NW Indiana- you should swing by the Midwestern Mamas thread in the Friends & Family section. Most of us are from Chicago and get together pretty regularly. I don't know what your transportation capabilities are like, but maybe you can join us sometime!

Hi. I am new.
I just graduated with a BA in Women's Studies. Woo! Who knows what that means or what it will get me... but yay for feminism anyhow! I've been wanting to join this lounge for a long time, I just haven't had the time until now. I look forward to great discussion. Cheers! |

pictures used to show up, but now you will just see the link - this measure was created to deter spammers who were bombarding the lounge with pictures of aborted foetuses and other offensive/annoying images not too long ago.
