Wow...my first post in more than 16 years

Been away a while. So it goes…Not sure why i drifted away. I was an infrequent poster and a bit of a lurker. Sad to see so many familiar names in the In Memoriam thread…lots of good folks.

Life’s been well, for what it’s worth. Career has gone way better than expected. Still with my wife. Tastes have changed–used to be an NBA junkie, now i rarely watch it. Still big into music, but have expanded my horizons considerably. Don’t read as much as i used to.

Hope it get back in the swing of things here! Cheers, folks!

Welcome back! You stopped posting right when I arrived apparently. I’ll try not to take this personally. :sweat_smile:

Aw crap…yer still here! :laughing:

Thanks for the welcome Maserschmidt!

Welcome back. Glad to meet you.

Thank yew!

Welcome back!

Yaay!

An old newbie! Or is that a new oldbie? :grin:

In any case there are still a bunch of us from your prior era here. In fact most of who is here now dates from around then; not so many date from much more recently.

Welcome back! Your dreams were your ticket out…

So, taking up where we left off: How dare you, sir! I demand satisfaction!

“Who’d a thought they’d lead ya, back here where they need ya?”

*The “need ya” being debatable, since y’all seem to have done just fine over the past decade and a half :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Aw man! I hope you’d forgotten about that unpleasantness…

Guess I’ll have to fetch my épée.

Likewise! Thanks

Wait. . .aren’t you the guy who puts ketchup on his hotdogs? No? Never mind.

Ahhh…the old newbie vs. new oldbie argument. We better take it to Great Debates…

Hey, welcome back! We don’t seem to have ever posted to the same threads, which fits with me not having a strong sense of your posting style, but still nice to see folks returning to the fold.

Thanks for the welcome back!

Just be aware that there’s been a goat shortage due to the tariffs and Mariah’s pretty hungry. So stay away from the pool.

[And welcome back.]

Did you bring pie?

“When come back, bring pie” :laughing:

Aw man…you gotta bring your own goat these days?

This used to be a class joint…
