> [@psycat90](#): > > I’m here in spurts. \ I believe the correct term is, “I come here in spurts.” Sheesh, it’s like I have the only dirty mind around here some days (not really). 🙂 ---

> [@Diane](#): > > Yeah QED, I wasn’t that great when I left. I had just been diagnosed with a brain tumor and wasn’t really sure what was going to happen to me. Three brain surgeries, radiation, and continued monthly stabs later (not injections, but STABS to the butt - deep tissue, thick gel medication, huge needle - OWIE! ), and I am almost good as new. Until the remaining inoperable tumor dies, I will have to have these shots. I am okay with it though, it keeps me alive. My condition is so rare that Stanford periodically meets with the U of U Medical Center to study my case. I am a freak of nature. HA! Too bad I wasted my odds on medical junk instead of winning the lottery. > > … > > All in all, life is good. Glad to hear it! Keep fightin’ the good fight; we want you around for a little while longer. 🙂 Oh, and welcome back! ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > So, how “old days” are we talking? I’ve been here a bit. Good to hear that you’re doing well, Diane. Thanks! Old days like way back when SDMB was on AOL (someone remind me - 1996 or 97?) and was pretty active until 2004 or 2005 I think? I dunno, I really suck at time frames. ---

It had to be '97, since I don’t think I was on AOL in '96. ---
