I remember you from way back in the day! I started posting in 1999 but I was **Zoggie** back then, don’t know if you remember me. Glad to see you again. ---

> [@SlowMindThinking](#): > > I had to check. Yes we did both post in one thread: one that you started looking for a Halloween Colorado dopefest. I remember the shock that someone paid enough attention to me to remember my location. I do miss the mountains. 🙂 Living in Boulder was fantastic. Freudian Slit- I remember you! Hi! Opal- I’m in the city, or at least I will be once I’ve moved. It’s a bit of a chore, since I basically have to careen in between here and Delaware a lot and the weather is always uncertain. I’ve got interviews tomorrow; hopefully I’ll be able to get back to work in January. We’ll see. ---

Welcome back, **andygirl**! Long time, no see - and the backpacking trip sounds great! Main thing new with me is the **Firebug**. I can’t use the Groucho line that starts with “run out and get me a four year old child,” because I’ve got one now. 🙂 ---

> [@andygirl](#): > > BRAINS… um… That’s really none of your business and I’ll thank you kindly for staying out of my personal affairs. 😛 Uh… should we not ask about QuietGirl, then? 😃 Welcome back, andygirl! We never chatted much back in the day, but I remember enjoying your posts. ---

Thanks for the welcome backs, everyone. Congrats on the kid, RT! I’ve heard that child-induced sleep deprivation is the best kind. Ralf- Quietgirl and I broke up a long time ago, but we still keep in touch. She’s married, presently expecting her third kid. Oddly enough, the woman I’m dating now has the same first name. ---

Now I’m starting to wonder about the other members from back in the day. Like **iampunha** and **Crunchy Frog**. Are they still around, does anyone know? ---

I’m glad to hear that you and Quietgirl are still on good terms. It’s sad to hear about breakups where both parties are bitter for years. How about posting some of your backpacking stories/adventures some time? I’d like to hear them. ---

> [@andygirl](#): > > Nifty! Is the law market as insane in Canada as it is in the US? I have buddies that have really been flailing for work. > > Bricker- I was mostly in Australia, I stayed there for 5 months. But also New Zealand, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, China, Austria, France, Spain, and England. I bought a ticket around the world, so you have to broadly keep going East or West until you reach your starting point. If I was going to re-do I’d spend a lot more time in Asia. Everywhere was amazing, though. andygirl–did you make sure to keep a detailed journal and take lots of pictures/videos of your adventures? Let us in on some of your experiences! ---

Yeah, I’ll start a travel stories thread once I get some free time… I’m still unpacking and doing job interviews, so things are hectic. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-heard-that-you-settled-down-hi/605088.md?page=1)
