I can remember talking to Cheeze and Indi and we couldn't figure out how someone could just let a group start kind of running itself with no management... the old BBW & Admirers group the management just slipped away and the chaos that happened was at times outrageous... so to avoid the conflicts and fights we started Our Little Haven, June 30th, 2001 I'm not positive.. but I'm pretty sure that was the date... some of the chaos followed us... and it took a little while to calm down... but we managed to keep the group going... and we learned new things... how to use PSP to make our pages welcoming and homey... we even won some awards for the creative pages thanks to Indi and Cheez!... we chatted from dawn to the wee hours of the morning... and had posting parties... riddles were posted and answered on a daily basis and some of us even managed to meet each other in real time or talk on the phone! Then tragedy struck on Jan 7, '02 when someone deleted Our Little Haven... and we resurrected her and improved her and kept it moving with contests, hidden pages, continuing stories.... posting parties... holidays.... with costume parties, Secret Santas and cookouts on Independence day.... house parties in the conversation pit... Oh those were the days! David hanging from rafters.... Spike spinning tunes on the old stereo... Sunlover splashing in the hot tub... playing with water guns... stun hanging on her rope... Indi popping in and out, Aprilshowers joining in the fun... Hunter flirting with all the ladies and the Mog stopping thru... Oh yes and lets not forget the long conversations with Poo! Then there was a host of other folks... Rose... Mightywny... BBtazette... BabyBlue... Tulipsrfav... Sue... LoveLuckyLady... Belle... SarahJinVA... CinCity... Tiffany... Chillygirl... Thumper... Jag... Kitty... Val... Strawberry... Allykaatt... Bear... Wolfie... Miss Piggy... Ladybright... Roger.... Donna Maria... oh and Angelkisses4u with her pink font!
Lori who was promoted to Assistant Manager and Ellie who was promoted as well...
7 years since Haven was created in the minds of the founding BBW girls... where is everybody today??? What are they doing? How are they doing? Just stuff that I think of when I wander thru this place once filled with laughter and tears and friends...

I often wonder how everyone is doing too. I started PSPing a couple of years ago and joined a bunch of groups related to that hobby. Some of them are more 'social' than others with a lot of chit chat interspersed with the PSP posts. But I've never found another place that feels as much like home as Haven.

Wow, that's a story!  I kinda slip in and out, trying to get back in to the swing, I've going thru a divorce which is going slow.  Lots of drama.  Ugh!  Would like to see this place pick back up though.  The PSP group I was in disbanded and went there separate ways, :(  It use to be jumping in here, lol.  Hope it revives itself, I need some fun.

........................those were the days.............man!.....Did we have a serious blast or what!?!?.........and the Garnet One will forever and always be Poo's Super Heroine - Justice Leaguer and Havenaire ExtraOrdinaire!!!!!!
 
Haven really is a special place - it may not seem so much now than back then........the end 90's were turbulent - and BBW and their Admirers reflected that "provocateurism" that erupted into ........ this volatile poppourri of passions, viewpoints and perspectives...........we loved, hated, intrigued, got-down-on-the-frickin-floor-into-laugh-gasms..........enlightened, and connected for some of us forever and for others........just enough to forge a chapter in each other's lives.
 
Poo will never forget those in BBW&TA.......and Haven I and II.........all of you help me rediscover a part of me I thought I lost.........and Poo has just a bit of each of you inside - always...........
 
...........Poo is now.......out.

Boy, those WERE the days...what fun, and what passion!! People were so opinionated, so full of love and life and ...well...sometimes crap! It was fun and emotional and sooo liberating at times! I for one will never forget the friends I made, even if I speak to them rarely now, they will always be in my heart! I miss you all!! I am and will be forever grateful for the relationships I've had with so many of you over the years. One in particular is my partner in life, married 8 years this past August, whom I met and fell in love with right here......so much to be said for our fabulous managers who have kept these pages alive...Thank you!!! California, to Maryland, up to Connecticut, down to Pennsylvania, back to Maryland and now in South Carolina...the haven has been with me the whole way and I will continue to pop in...hoping to see an old friend now and then..and maybe meet a few more of you!! See you soon...

Those were the days.. and then suddenly.. things slowed down to a crawl.. I miss laughing until my sides hurt! We could have some fun! Now I'm packing and getting ready to move YET AGAIN.. going to be without service for quite some time.. they say everything is bigger in Texas, and I'm fixin to find out..  We've grown together, and moved on, some moved out.. I just hope to stay in contact with everyone once I get hooked up in texas! Take care!

It's just a good feeling to know that we can always come home to the family here at the haven. Life's been throwing some hardballs my way, and I don't get very much free time, but it's very comforting to know there is someone here when I do get home. Luv ya all Much!! ~Baby~
