Do You Remember

    The first time I came on JWD, it was in chat. Wendy (Mommy was there) and even tho I had just left the borg, I was still very religious. I came off rather abrasive to say the least...

    I have pissed off a lot of people here, and made an ass out of myself more than a time or two. Many of you were annoyed, some of you tolerated my actions, and some of you I have made some very dear friends with.

    I remember so many things about this place. Been here for over a year now, off and on. Wierd how an internet forum could play such a major factor in my life.

    I have tried to leave more times than I can count, but some reason I keep comming back. Suppose it is the common ground we all share, or perhaps the fact that this isn't just some internet forum to me. Or maybe it is just because of habit or pure boredum.

    Some of you I adore, some of you I bluntly put cannot stand. That is the way life goes.

    Things have changed tho, the board just isn't the same anymore. I miss it. I miss everybody. I wish things never changed. Clinging to the past...

    Simon - thanks for your hard work and keeping this place up and running.

    Gravedancer/MSIL - Thank you for showing me that sometimes the people you dislike the most can turn out to be the hidden strength and support during the most difficult period of a person's life. My friend.

    Joelbear - Thanks for just being you.

    Jonjonsimmons - Thanks for making me realize that the people here are real. Have real problems, and live and die. Wherever you are if you are reading this, you will never be forgotten.

    Jan - You are not here anymore, but will always be a part of this place.

    AlanF - Thank from the bottom of my heart for your help. She left the borg, and largely because of the scans you sent. You are a wonderful person.

    Mulan - You are a tenderhearted person and one of the folks here that make the board seem like family.

    Bboyneko - Thanks for the fond memories and making me smile more than once.

    Bitter Mango/Bea - Don't need to say a word, you already know.

    Farkel - Cause ur weird and u make me smile.

    Venice - For showing me how to put on eyemake-up. And that night... meant a lot to me *wipes tear*

    Safe4Kids/Dana - You are an amazing woman.

    Prisca - For making me feel welcome here in the first place.

    Dave - For posts that touch my heart. You don't type, you speak.

    All of my friends you know who you are. Don't feel bad, my fingers are cramping.

    I love this place too. I'm glad you came back. Who cares if we are addicted to this place? If it helps us in anyway, it is well worth it.

    This board was a different place a year ago, and also the year before that. The people and the atmosphere of this site change regularly, and that's what keeps this place alive. We come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, with the common denominator being our past/present JW experience.

    Moe, it's good to see you back again. I know we have had our ups and downs, but there's no hard feelings on my part. We all live and learn.

    <looks around quietly> I'm still here as well. I have left for a month or two to come back also. Although I've only seen myself and Sirona as the resident Pagans. I do wish you would post more often as I always enjoyed them.

    I remember, MrMoe, and we're still making memories! Like an old song said, "stay right here... for these ARE the good old days!" I really believe that. We're in the "heyday" of JW.COM.

    Bear with me (I'm getting in touch with my inner cliches here) -- "the more things change, the more they stay the same". In other words, for this place to be the same, vital place it was, it HAD to change -- go through its growing spurts and learning experiences, add new blood -- and these are all healthy changes.

    In the future I hope we will remember this time period (2002) fondly. Dateline, Panorama, and new friends and acquaintances gained here this year.

    Hot Moe:

    One of the reasons why I am here is your hot little piece of tail Moe! But in all seriousness I recall the first time I logged on to this site, I had no idea what it was. I registered one day so I could reply to a topic and had no idea what I was doing and didn't even get my reply posted. I thought it was a lot of blabber from JW's and didn't return to it until a few months later to realize what it really was. I had no clue what was going on and thought I was the only one in the world who stopped going to meetings 17 years ago.

    I have learned much more than I had ever realized and verified why I left as a teenager who had no literature to read but knew in my heart that it was all a farce!

    It's always good hearing from you Amanda. Hugs and kisses .

    Hey, edited to add that this my 666th post. Ye gods Moe, on your thread!

    Of course, I do have 290 posts on another username....so technically it's not you who gave me over to the Wild Beast.
