I have no anniversary...

[ScreamingMeemie]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!


All of us poor "before July 6, 2003-ers"... we are people without a date of entry. How sad..realy...



We are a formidable group. Don't forget it.

[WCGreen]

1. I share your pain...

Alas, I can't remember when I first logged on...

I think it was in 2002...

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Hi WC...

Together, we can overcome it.

[WCGreen]

26. Right on Sister...

[WCGreen]

36. I joined right before you.....

about 2000....

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. Almost 70,000 Duers ago.

[WCGreen]

48. Alas, we are antiques

[ScreamingMeemie]

50. A lot of water under the bridge...and posts over the tubes...

[Bucky]

55. I am unimpressed with your crass sexual innuendo

heh

[ScreamingMeemie]

58. ...

Hi Bucky!

[bicentennial_baby]

2. I'm with you sister....

Hi Laura!

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Hey you!

I missed you today!

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Awwwww!

Why? I meant to comment on the loverly pic of you and the hot hot hot MrG today, but I had to run off to skool, after making Sniffa's surprise b-day cake....I adore you so!

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Happiest of Birthdays to Sniffa!

We really should get a new picture taken, eh? he's sleeping right now and I'm up wayyyy too late as always. How was the surprise?

[bicentennial_baby]

24. Awww, thank you so much!

It was a wonderful birthday!

The Mrs and I made him a bundt cake with chocolate drizzled over it, and got him a balloon

Then, he and I cooked! Which we do every night, but...We made a Roast Pork stuffed w/ garlic, Red potatoes coated in garlic, butter and basil, and Sauteed Summer Squash, onion, garlic, and green peppers.

Then, he and I laid in bed all night watching the results of the MA Dem. Governor's race come in...and did other stuff, hehe.

A good night was had by all

And yes, a new pic!!! Please!!!

[WCGreen]

30. That sounds good....

A certain someone made me stuffed Pork Chops with apple stuffing and potato pancakes...

I love good comfort food...

[bicentennial_baby]

32. That sounds yummy....

We were *just* talking about making potato pancakes soon...Maybe this weekend!

[WCGreen]

49. This special someone made me stuffed cabbage the other

day that brought back memories of my Grandma....

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. I am starving now!!! That sounds excellent!

Glad you had a good time.

[qnr]

5. Yeah, and to top it off, I have very little memory too.

I mostly lurked though.

[ScreamingMeemie]

Believe it or not... Me too. For the first 4 months, and then I became

a moderator and then I couldn't stop talking...and it snowballed from there.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear MrsGrumpy!

I have always wondered about this "...before July 2003" stuff...

What does it mean?

Do you know?

I hope you do!

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. It means I registered after 2002 and before July, 6th 2003.

Sometime between Jaunuary and July. I think March. It used to be that your join date was just the year, and then they started putting the actual date in your profile...after the 6th of July in 2003.

[Zomby Woof]

19. That was the big rollover date

When DU 1.0 was scrapped for the current 2.0.

DU sure looks different too. Back then, DU was black and white, and required that we post backwards in the snow uphill.


Both ways.

[bicentennial_baby]

35. Yep, DU 1.0 to DU 2.0

The good ol days...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thank you for letting the light in on me!

I thought it had something to do with the name amnesty thing......

This is good to know!

[qnr]

8. I wonder if there is an archive of the profile pages somewhere - like

you can see old pages of The Lounge, etc.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. That would be cool. I have attempted to find my first post...but I can't

really remember what it was...I'm sure it was earth shattering.

[qnr]

38. Oh yeah, the advanced search only goes to 2003 I think n/t

[yewberry]

31. I don't think so

The profiles aren't static--if you click on the profile of a currently active member from an archived page, you'll get their updated profile (though I think it may be in the "old" format). Does that make any sense?

That'd be fun, though.

edit: no such thing as "ant sense," I guess.

[qnr]

34. Right, that is what I was thinking - the format changed, there must have

been one final backup of the old format that was made, so maybe there is a copy of the profile from that.

[hfojvt]

39. worse yet, a bunch of posts were lost in transit

from 1.0 to 2.0 so even if you search the archives, you may not be able to find your first post.

I remember that mine was encouraging somebody else in Kansas by quoting Elijah where he complains 'I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me too' that there were over 1,000 at the anti-war rally in Lawrence. Cannot find it in the archives.

[qnr]

43. I remember mine. It was a "caption this" about Bush, & I made a variation

of the old "I lost it over there, but I'm looking here because the light is better" punchline. But I lurked for a couple of years, so I don't have to remember all the way back to the beginning.

[datasuspect]

10. i just noticed i've been here "officially" for more than two years

prior to that i lurked but never established an account.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. I had attempted to join during one of several registration shut downs

and gave up for a while. PassingFair was finally able to register and so called me back on over.

[datasuspect]

18. i think that happened to me

tried to join in '01 or '02 but didn't have a non web-based email account, then had a life for little bit and spent very little time on the internet.

started lurking again in late '03 and then joined in '04

[Zomby Woof]

11. At least there is a month and day in there!

The Class of 2001 just has "2001" in our profile!

(so does 2002)

Mine is October 6. I committed it to memory. Be sure to bring the chocolate syrup!

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. I know it was sometime about March...I think.

Check on the syrup!

[Zomby Woof]

22. So that means by May or so

I had you pegged as a grandmother.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Pretty much. And by July we were embroiled in bitter, ideolgical

fights...that soon fell apart into fits of giggles...and squirrel poop.

By september, I was deleting all of the posts of yours that I didn't agree with.

[Zomby Woof]

37. You've been doing that since September too!

My candidate is better than yours because ___________________, and your candidate sucks ___________________!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. Ain't it grand?

[Zomby Woof]

44. Oh yeah

Once I found out you had a Cheeto-orange sofa with a fold-out ottoman, I knew I had t keep you in my life!

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. And we can bounce happily off into the sunset!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. We are the forgotten ones...

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. ...

And they laugh at us for getting usernames wrong.

[ComerPerro]

15. I was posting on DU before there was an internet. I outrank you

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. You joined 4,885 people before me.

But they were just waiting for me.

[ComerPerro]

28. all of those posts were meaningless without you here

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. .

[hfojvt]

25. you would have an anniversary

if you had bothered to care enough to remember the date!!

Shows how much you care

Of course, I cannot remember when I first joined either

except that I am now twins with RevolutionaryActs04

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. That, in itself, is cool. The twin thing!

I give myself the cold shoulder for days for not remembering.

[qnr]

41. I prefer to think of it as "an all-year-long celebration" -- it says 2002,

so every day of 2006 is my 4 year anniversary!

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. Great Idea!!! Everyday Except for July 6th is my anniversary!

Great!

[billyskank]

51. All it says is "2002" for me

which I suppose is still more information than you get, but still...

[ScreamingMeemie]

52. So you can celebrate your 4th anniversary at DU everyday.

[billyskank]

53. Well in that case

happy anniversary to me!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. Happy anniversary billy!

This place would be a lot less enjoyable for me without you.

[billyskank]

60. ..

I really miss you too when you are not here.

[greatauntoftriplets]

54. I am a 2001-er.....

And I lurked here from February of that year, but only joined October 8, 2001. I remember it well. Didn't home a computer at home until January of 2002.

Happy anniversary, MrsG!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

57. Happy five years gaot!

[ProfessorGAC]

59. I Am One Of You!

We'll be sad together in different places! Boohoohoo! We don't have our own personal date!

Ok, that's enough weeping.
The Professor

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. Until we find some other reason to feel slighted of course...

hi Prof!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

62. Hey, Mrs.G

Well, i got another birthday present today. My boss brought in doughnuts today. That's two early b-day presents now.

Nothing big, but i'll take what i get. My wife, however, GUARANTEES, i will be most pleased with my gifts on Saturday. Then, golf, and then mexican food for an early dinner. Mmmmm!
The Professor

[ScreamingMeemie]

63. How nice!!! I hope you have a wonderful day with your wife!

Happy Birthday!
