Hello Everyone,
Back in the day, and I'm not even sure of the day anymore, I found Betty's Pub. I was exploring, discovering and evolving, but into what I wasn't sure. I had urges, desires, some I could articulate, some I couldn't. In those early months I learned terms, definitions, suggestions and experiences.
I've shared so much and benefited so greatly. I've shared the first time I cross dressed, how diapers came into my life and these odd notions of me as a little girl. Gender didn't matter, rules didn't matter - experimentation was the norm. Betty's Pub is an oasis in a desert with no edges, a tiny candle of light in a vast darkness.
How odd this place considering the reasons we visit. How wonderful this place when we find it, and once again I'm here.
Hugs

Welcome back Mary Beth,and hope we will see your stories here

Welcome back Mary Beth. We missed you so much.
Over the past few years there were always a few reposting your stuff under your name, & rumors would fly around that it was you. But it wasn't. Besides, I had a theory that if you could post again, you wouldn't be reposting your stuff at a site in Poland, Romainia, Czechoslovakia, or the Ukraine. I figured if you were able to post, you'd choose a site from the USA, UK, or maybe Australia first.
So it got to be that I treated sighting of Mary Beth like I would a UFO or Elvis sighting... although possible, not probable.
But I thought just like Daniel on SG1, you have a habit of turning up after all thought you were long-gone.
Once again, rumors of your death have been greatly exaggerated.
At this point, in 2070 people will still swear you're still around somewhere.

Wow! It's so great to see an old familiar face returning after a long absence -- or more accurately to feel an old familiar presence returning. WELCOME BACK!!

Hey Betty,
Tell me about it. One day while surfing on a lap top I'd borrowed I was shocked to see how much stuff had fallen behind the old soviet block. I'm still trying hard to picture the Russians I remember dressed as little girls. I see a lot of images but rare to see text. I've also noted that they often front Pay sites. Remember when the Internet was too simple for commerce. It's good to be here with you.

Welcome back Mary Beth, great to have you back on the board. Over the years I've seen your work pop up in all sorts of places, unattributed of course, so your memory will live forever. Now we have the original as well as the memory. Very glad that you are well and able to join us.

Actually the web archive site is independently owned & operated by universities, Amazon, & Alexia. However we do archive some old stuff too. But rather than carry & post everything that was made in the past 20 years, we just repost the older stuff on demand. Even the archive sites have dropped everything from the 1990s... Which is odd for an archive service. You'd think it would be more important for an archive site to save stuff from the 1990s (from the beginnings of the internet), than something from just a few months or years ago. The archives of 1990s sites was quite an interesting collection of stuff for them to just dump without warning to save space & costs.
I'm sure many would have paid to see or download some of those 1990s sites rather than see it all deleted forever.
Authors are always welcome to repost stuff that's no longer here. Just check to make sure it's really not here. We get a lot of requests for stories that are actually still here. We did try to keep the most of the popular stuff up, or have several sources of it to be sure it's archived.

Welcome back, Mary Beth! I was so excited to see you again I had an accident. My new avatar will show you how my mother handled THAT situation. You're back among friends and we're so happy to have you with us.

Hi Andyg
I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your post. For a time I simply lurked and there was always something new to enjoy. Thank you so much for you efforts.

Hi Samantha,
Depression is an odd thing and begins slowly without major symptoms. Cancer - twice, a mild stroke then copd, mingled with a couple of family members from hell left me with very little to fight with. Suffice to say I sank into a very dark hole awhile back, and only now have found myself coming out of it. Being human can suck at times, but remarkably I've found my connections on the Internet, specifically here, very uplifting. Always have. I love Betty's Pub and Betty and for a lot more reason now. Was thankful to find this place the first time and now once again.
Hugs

If it was me, I'd get an attorney, to sue anybody who tried to take my computers, stuff, hardware, software, access, & fun away... even if it was family. What gives them the right? Your "hobbies", connections, friends, dreams, & lots of work were on that stuff. Even if you were sick & they tried to help, I don't see how that gives them the right to take away your stuff, or pass their judgement on you to give them the right.
Taking or selling a computer & access these days is like taking away your personal belongings & telephone.
Surely selling off all that stuff wouldn't have amounted to much to cover expenses. From my experience in used computers & electronics, selling that stuff used probably wouldn't cover a month's worth of groceries. Used computer stuff is cheap. Of course, I guess it depends on where they shop. I've known people who blew close to $500 on a used computer setup, when they could have got the same thing used from a reputable store with a warranty for around $100.
I'd give up my phone before I'd go without my computer & access (I might have to do that).

"Depression is an odd thing and begins slowly without major symptoms. Cancer - twice, a mild stroke then copd, mingled with a couple of family members from hell left me with very little to fight with."
I haven't been through even half the shit you've been through, & it's depressing. Just by finding out you're still with us, a little bit better, & currently cancer-free has been uplifting for quite a few here.
It makes my own problems seem like nothing in comparison.
You've given so many new hope. It's like a new dawn on a brand new world is on the horizon. Thank you for putting up the fight to still be here & come back!
"Being human can suck at times"
Getting older can suck at times. Eventually something catches up with you, gets you, sets you back, or kills you. My father got his first heart attack at 55 & it killed him. Fortunately we know more about health & medicine these days. Still, no male in my family ever survived past 65, so with my sudden change in health after being so fit & healthy all my life, it makes me wonder what's next or if I'll be even around much longer. I've been told that a flu or even very bad cold could kill me now.
Still, I hope for the best & keep trying to survive, which is all anybody can do. And we can all hope for more AFFORDABLE medical breakthroughs. Meds, treatments, & doctors for COPD or other stuff are useless to me if I can't afford them or the insurance.

Was comparing your avatar with mine and with a sufficient petticoat I would be putting on display the neat plastic undies like you have with out the aid of a gust of a
breeze. Granted my diaper cover is lot bigger pushing out the petticoats and frilly ruffled bum lace and true to my name the diaper cover is LOCKED on waiting for
Baby Houdini to perform the magic of escape before being timed out and the need for a personal porta potty becomes necessary !
But never dismay both your old and as well as the new "revealing" avatar are a delight for this site - You are so cute-zy and so spanky-pants !
And the best to Mary Beth for bring the stories of Diapers and Little Girls into our fantasy world of sorts ! Can you see me now (no not hear - but see) !

Hi Mary Beth, I read your story posted at F----------a site and you are such a good story teller. Welcome home again you are among your friends and we have missed you for so long. We don't realize our health is taken for granted when we are younger but as we age and are assaulted by so many things it is very hard to recover quickly and the after effects or side effects from meds are a lasting and debilitating. Oh to be young again. Well at least we have our memories and your stories and Betty's wonderful galleries of pics, and in some cases a collection of pretty things to wear once in awhile.

Thank you Angela and how right you are. The real difference between kids and us is that we can do most things a kid can do but it takes us longer to recover :).

Never again my love.... Trouble is I have limited bandwidth so I run through the list pretty quickly to keep my downloads light. I have a list of to-dos that I've made up and visiting to say hello is at the top. Sorry for neglecting this place and I will finish the story I left unfinished.

Sorry. Just got a little concerned when you weren't around for a whole month after your last visit.
