Earlier today as I was wrestling with the decision to come back, I thought of asking you what all happened that made you change.

Yep.

Good. Keeping busy, doing a lot of thinking, likely moving to Canada next Fall with my husband. We're both sending out feelers for work, and I'll take the Canadian licensing exams in Spring and Summer.
What's up with you?

Emily Milner had a few paragraphs in this month's Ensign, in the article about parents coming to live with their children, and how to make it work. Did anyone else see that? She's so great! What a sweet girl!
It's wonderful how old hatrackers come back and say hi. Lara Gale, who was La on the old BML forum was even back for a while last month.
I was wondering about Coil of the backwards smilies a few days ago. Remember him? And where has Ethics Gradient been lately? I miss him! Does he still lurk?

Our website is www.freecapitalist.com, but we haven't updated it for two days. We're working out some kinks n stuff. Keep in mind, however that this is the online version and is very different from our printed magazine.
It's a magazine that focuses on capitalistic principles to attain self reliance, financial freedom and economic independence. It's the official magazine of the FrankinSquires companies.
It's not for everyone. It leans right. A lot. But it has it's niche and I'm in charge of building it.

Myr is busy with school, but is still around a bit.
JK just posted last week, I hope to see him back more often in the future.
Ela is around, but not as much as before, and her daughter JaneX is at Smith College.....we had dinner at the beginning ofthe school year, along with sarahindipity. I am sure that school is the main reason she has been busy as well.

Haven't seen Shlomo in some time. Bonduca and...what's her partner's name? The guy who always gives fashion advice? Anyway, they've been gone for ages, although the male half of that couple (Jeffry Getzin, maybe?) did return for a few weeks at one point. Surveyor1 has been gone for ages.
Pat, David, did you hear that Centurion died? Leukemia, I believe.

You read the first page of a thread like this. It is actually very serious, with some interesting comments, and you plan your own response.
Then you skip to the last page. Most of what you see are now emoticons. People are remniscing and joking around. Your post dissolves from your mind and you grin and laugh.
Hatrack survives and thrives. Folks come in and make a mess and we all get flustered about it. Then we all get a big mad going and get together in a thread like this to talk it over and hash it out.
Somewhere along the way, we remember how much we all like chatting more than complaining about the new problem posters and voila`! We've forgotten the problem.
Which, in the end, is the best way to handle the trolls of the world. Remind yourself that they are just make believe and get back to the people you care about.

This thread reminds me of those final episodes of sitcoms where they bring back all the main characters that have gone on to movies and pantyhose commercials for one last hurrah.
Should we all be nervous?
(It's really bugging me that I'm now thinking of Full House.)

And we know this because they've never been seen in the same place at precisely the same time!

Do I count as an old timer? I was gone for a year and, um, three months, and now I'm back. Does that count?

Ok, maybe I just thought you were an oldbie in what, May of 2003?
The thing is, I joined in March, posted twice, and then didn't return until sometime in May. (And y'all haven't been able to get rid of me for long since. ) So those who joined between my March join date and early May probably seemed to me about the same as those who'd been around for ages prior.

I feel stupid. I was just wondering where someone had gone, and I spent quite some time thinking about them. Now I get to this thread and I can't for the life of me remember who it was. All I remember is assuming that they'd gone over to Gremne at some point during the mass exodus over there.
EDIT: I just remembered, it was Jon Boy, I was thinking about him because his thread was bumped. Does anyone know what happened to him?

Yeah, within your time, too. When GrenMe, sakeriver, and (I'm guessing) galacticcactus became the forum-of-choice for many regulars. I'm guessing that was during this past spring, no? I wanna say around... april/may?
I left at the same time, but came back several months later.

I'd say T_Smith was the original. With his 1000 posts in one month, as I recall he and Mae were neck to neck for the honor.

Heh. I'm holding relatively steady at about 1,000 post per annum. At this rate I'll break 10k in 2010.

I think the ORIGINAL prolific newbie was Chaeron. Like so many of those prolific newbie types, he peaked early, though, and after his initial flash-in-the-pan, is down to a steady candle flicker.

Your date joined is March 2003. Mine is April 2003. How does that make an oldbie when you were new?![[Confused]](confused.gif)
