Really, even before that actually. So I didn’t really know if it would work or not, but lo and behold, here I am again. I figure, well, If I’m going to have a paid subscription (not even paid for by myself but by a very warm doper who offered) the least I could do was to put it to use. So here I am posting so my status will finally change from “Guest” to “Charter Member”. Hear me roar. I really don’t know why I stopped posting. Maybe it’s because I lurk here all the time and yes, I still print out my topics and take them home to read. I still use the same process too, namely putting all the threads in most replies to least, say, from the last 30 days or so. So in reading about the boards, you all seem so intimidating with your smarts and all. I find that topics here move so quickly also. Hurts my poor, little brain to even try to process it all. Anyway, I look foward to getting back in the groove of things and posting. Really, I don’t expect anyone to have remembered me or my name anyway. Thank you to **EddyTeddyFreddy** for her offer of my account. I owe her more then I ever could. ---

Oh, but of course YOU show up. Heh. Hello there. 🙂 It’s nice to see you still out and about on these boards. I do my posting at ASU now. ---

Oh yeah…I tend to forget I have an LJ… I update it about once a month. But I’ve been trying to up the frequency on it. Who might you be in LJland? ---

**Idle Thoughts** , I go in in stops and starts too. Although I was on holiday for 3 weeks, I hadn’t posted for quite a while before that either. Anyway, nice to see you! ---

Is it okay to ask what LJ is? I’ve seen it mentioned here several times. Just curious. ---

LJ = [LiveJournal.](http://www.livejournal.com) I’ve heard there’s a big 'Doper presence doing LiveJournals. I just started doing one myself about a week ago. How do I get in on that? ---

I seem to recall a Doper named **Idle Thoughts** that comes around once in awhile. His orbit must have brought him closer to earth again. 😉 **Marley23** there is a [SDMB LJ community](http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=sdmb) you can join. ---
