@Nancy Drew  Wow that's a lifetime.  I only started when my mom passed several years ago.

2007 for me.  But I know when my Mom passed in 2013 these boards became much more important to me.  @Nancy Drew turing 60 myself on Christmas Eve, trying so hard to find the joy in that number!!Woman Embarassed

I think the people who participated in Shop Talk would be the originals.  I'm not sure when Shop Talk started, late 1990's maybe?

 

I started posting here in 2003 or 2004, I think.

I was here in probably the first year there were message boards.  I know others were as well because we still talk about the packing peanuts thread which turned into a fight, Blanche on the Veranda, the Cleaning Crew, etc.

It's hard to tell unless that person shows up because, several years ago when they did another board revamp, they changed all our sign up dates to a date in 2010.  Furthermore, they deleted all or many of the posts we had prior to that point.

That would be interesting to know.  My date shows 2014 also but I've been on here much longer than that??
