Hey people! Thought I would anonymously lurk and see if there's a Christmas card thread but no dice! I guess this is the thread then?  :D  If you'd like a card, send me a PM or simply post in this thread and I'll reach out to you. I'm in touch with a number of old-timers off the forum and if...

Hey everyone! Guess what time of year it is?? That's right, it's time for the ALL Christmas card exchange!  I'm shopping online for holiday cards from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art. Maybe one of those cards has your name on it. :) Everyone is welcome to participate! If you would...

Happy Birthday, M! I hope you have a good one :)

Happy Birthday, Serephina! I hope you have a good one :)

Hi everyone, It's that time of year again! ALL has done Christmas card exchanges for the past 5-6 Christmases.  I've participated the last 3 years and I was thrilled every time a card arrived in the mail! I've saved all of the cards I received in my Christmas Card Hall of Fame. Anyone who...

Wondering if anyone has heard from the forum owner/ admin bjarne lately. I know he made a brief appearance a few months ago and word at that time was that he was doing well. I've noticed quite a few useful functions are missing and having only 12 emojis is more like 2006, not 2016. Will the...

Soaking in nostalgia is against my nature; I'd rather be in the present. I read that Prince once said "My rear view mirror has fallen off". Mine has too. But a flood of memories - good and bad - going back to an 8-10 year period in the 80s have come back after I heard Prince died. It's like I'm...

I read an article (on The Guardian about The Red Pill on Reddit) and it posed the question - Are you your real self online or offline? It can be hard to say sometimes. If there is something about your identity that you don't want everyone to know, maybe you hide it in real life and are more...

Someone in my circle of friends back in my hometown posted a cryptic message on Facebook on Monday. He said he lost a friend that day and he was sorry he couldn't save him. I asked my friend what happened as I'm far away and out of the loop with my old friends. He sent me a private message and...

Last Friday I took a day off work to use up some vacation hours (that I would lose otherwise) and that was probably a terrible idea. I spent the day puttering around the house, doing chores and watching Netflix, alone. The problem with that is I start to ruminate about all the issues in my life...

If I delete a PM that I *sent* is it deleted on the recipient's end as well? -Teresa

Any plans for Thanksgiving this year? I'm having a few friends and family over for dinner. I'm glad to be hosting because I can hide out in the kitchen instead of feeling like I have to socialize with other guests at someone's house :) Also glad to be with a group this year. I've spent a few...

I've moved twice in the past two years, the second move was last spring. I thought "great, this will be the last move for awhile for my daughter and me". I feel like I need to have some semblance of stability at least while she's young and in school. Well there is a creek behind our rental...

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a nice one :) -Teresa

Hi everyone, I've taken the baton on hosting a Christmas card exchange thread this year! For members who've been around awhile, we've done it the past 3 Christmases. Eve hosted a thread last year and the year before. I've participated the last 2 Christmases and I was thrilled every time a card...

Do you have a first memory that stands out clearly? Mine is my first day of kindergarten. I was 4 (my birthday is very late in the year and I was probably the youngest kid in school). My mom didn't want to go with me on the first day so she forced me out the front door, screaming and crying. We...

I'm not fan of basketball player Lamar Odom (I hate the L.A. Lakers, sorry to the Laker fans out there!) but after reading this story I was reminded of how it can be A Lonely Life for anyone- http://www.sacbee.com/sports/nba/article39334791.html In a nutshell (if you're not in the US), a...

I had some spare time this weekend and watched some episodes of "Catfish". It's a show on MTV - if you're not familiar with Catfishing, it's when someone reaches out to other people on the web under false pretenses or with a false identity, usually through social media, and starts a relationship...

I work in an office with many people sitting nearby. This morning 3 of my colleagues had a very loud conversation about another colleague that I'm friends with. A lot of wicked and personal comments were made. The colleague they were disparaging hasn't even worked in our office in 2-3 years. So...

I feel like I've been doing this a lot lately. Maybe because I'm getting older and have a lot of history floating around in my memory. I sometimes think about men I've met and known only briefly and wonder what happened to them. And, worse, I wonder if they are thinking about me. I'm not...
