If I hang around long enough, do you think I'll ever achieve "oldie" status?

TreeReich registered in March of 2000. That would set her numbers about right I would think. I did also notice some of the wacky number business.

When the MBers from those days posted.....everyone listend.

yeah, the young'ns just don't listen, maybe its the creaking of the rockin' chairs (or rock n roll) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I'd never heard the alphabet/number assignment explanation, but it appears to make sense. I had to re-register during the crash. Those were very dark days indeed, being unable to view or post on the forums.

Hi Lor ! How you doing ?

Hi Deb, H is in 9th month of deployment to Afghanistan...4-5 months left. I'm missing him terribly and not a thing I can do about it.

How are you? I still pass on that prayer from Prayers that Availeth Much you posted so long ago. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Pepperband,
I looked at my number.
I have been watching it for three days....

Not much has happened, but it did try to get away once. I gave it a twinkie, and a rootbeer, and it seems fine for now.

I'll let you know if anything else happens.

Send him my reguards and my thanks for doing such a difficult job. I know it has to be hard for you, just keep thinking of inventive ways to say welcome home honey when he gets back !

I tell you the prayers from that book have been a blessing to me, especially recently.

I actually emailed Lori (lostva) the other day. She sounds great.

I would love to talk to you and I have a poem that is supposed to be published in the UK this winter that I wrote which I would like to share with you too.
If you want you can email me at dkohb@yahoo.com

Deb, you've got mail <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I think its because the server is all the way around on the other side of the world in the Nothern Hemisphere...........

I mean even your toilet water goes around the wrong way !!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
