Still here. Not necessarily a very active poster back in the beginning though.

Thanks for asking. The cats are fine.

Funny thing, I have them 3 years. They were seperated for 4 days.

Brought them back together, and they're hissing and growling at each other.

Funny.... Hope they get over it soon.

Nope.

Was still spending most of my time over at DVDTalk, although I did lurk here a few times.

Then one day I finally saw the light.

Impossible, I've only been around since this June. You must have me mistaken for another Red Dawn.

<< I've just been a member since June of this Year >>



LOL, Red, has anyone explained the rules to you yet? :)

I joined in April '98, right after that class action monitor suit that folks bitched and bitched about for months and months afterwards. It was that whole ruckus that led to the creation of the HOT DEALS forum, something many long time members (but not me) rue to this day.

Remember, anyone, the WMC's (Wounded Monitor Children)? I think Harvey came up with that one

Anyway, Red was one of the first pioneers from the old skool whose wit and intelligence and general all around heavy lifting impressed the hell out of me.

Edit Actually (drugs, you know . . . not enough) the WMC BS led to the formation of the For Sale/Trade forum, from which the Hot Deals forum gained it's ignominius birth many months later.

Trying to remember this is sort of fun. Sort of.

Been here,done that..


get a can of tuna packed in water, drain the juice from the tuna into a bowl, dip your hands into the juice and rub generously over each cat.They will then both "smell" the same to each other and will hopefully begin grooming each other's fur, repeat as needed and in short order they hissing/fighting will stop and they'll be buddies again.

I'm here. I was here when they had the UBB forums, and came to this site before there were forums back when it was on Geocities.

I've been here since around the time the WMC thread was taking place in the For Sale/Trade forum ... Don't remember if I was registered at the time or just lurking, but I've been around for two years as a member ;)

Wasn't actively posting at this time two years ago, but in about a month I would have been.

That close enough to count?

From Optimus: " I think we should all mention an event/person(s) from "back then" for nostalgia purposes. :D

Not that I need the prompting . . . but, HEY, anyone remember me waiting in the dog park in Washington Square for that punk who said he wanted to duke it out to show up? Remember his excuse for not showing, something about his parole officer not approving, LOL ?

Whew. This all takes me back in the day. The main jazz was taking your 300 to 450mhz and beyond. Probably sounds Jurassic to some of you young bucks.

I'd love to hear a bunch of the old heads here chime in with nostalgia posts. I'm feeling way down with the Holidays hard on me and the still recent death of Jessie, my wife and best damn friend in the world. Trying to keep my head up, but it's fscking hard.
