Blue Hen Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I arrived on the boards Sept 3rd, 1999 as Carole in MA Lot has changed since then, except I'm still here. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyfaithe Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Please chime in if you were a poster on the old board I loved the advise from the old board. When I first started homeschooling, the old board poster's were my "mentors" I never posted back then but read everything they posted. I know boards change, people move on, but I was just curious who was still hanging out here (that posted advise) not a lurker like myself Me... I have been here since the beginning...and I still have my first edition tattered, torn, pages missing WTM that I will never part with :-) ~~Faithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLynnTX Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I was there! I think I started posting in 2000, but I did a lot more lurking than posting!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogpond1 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Something like that... I don't post as much anymore because I'm busy with my 4 kids and my cottage school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Still here. I was Brenda FOS in my early days, but everyone thought it referred to French Onion Soup. How funny! To a nurse it would Full of Stool (said of an abdominal Xray) and to my generation of college students, it would be Friends Occasional S*x.

sheryl Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've only been on the board since around 2004. The first format I joined under was the "continuous" thread. Any replies were subcatagorized under that topic they were responding to. Then it moved to the "gray" threads....and now this. I'd be curious to know the format BEFORE the "continuous" thread I refer to above. Sheryl <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susu Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I go back to around '99...but I haven't posted hardly ever on the new boards...I didn't want to start out as a "larvae" lol...so now my posts say "just visiting"...Makes me kind of feel "out of it"...so I mainly just lurk and read posts on topics that interest me now...'

Mrs Mungo Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I was Jenmom on the old board. I posted there pretty much since its inception but not terribly frequently. I chose a new name when we moved over here because there are just so many Jens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the floating cottage Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I never posted until this year but I have been lurking for about 10 years. It's hard to believe it's been that long. I have learned most of what I know from these boards. If I have a problem or just a curiosty about ANYTHING the answer is usually on here.

Testimony Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I came on about 2003 or 2004. I forget now. I was Karen's Testimony. There were so many Karens on the board. I could not get over this. I have been the only Karen for years. The last time there was another Karen besides me was when I was in high school. I go on the Well-Trained Mind boards. Every other person is a Karen. I could not believe it. I thought my name was a dying breed. Then I saw many Karens. So, I dropped Karen's Testimony and became Testimony. I have been that way ever since. I'm an oldy!

LoriM Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I've been LoriM on the Internet since 1991. :) I'm not sure that was the Internet then...just the mainframe computer in my grad school math and computer science department, emailing and using lists in cyberspace. Anyway, I started posting frequently (practically daily) on the old boards in 2001. LoriM, formerly in Alabama, now in North Carolina, formerly an active-duty USAF wife, now wife of retired hubby, formerly teaching 3rd and 7th...now "teaching" college freshman and college senior...sigh. What a decade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovedtodeath Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I was there, though off and on as a newbie. I was ran off when I mentioned cottage school as being helpful to homeschoolers (I was planning to start one). It took me a while to get the courage to come back. I was Carmen until I saw another Carmen, and I started using Fernande (one of my middle names). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shenan Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm...ahem!...an 'old timer' too! ;) Still have the same user name as before! My all time favorite thread from the old board was the discussion about bOOkshelves! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I was on the old board. I think I started visiting there in 2001. It took me a while to get used to the new format here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in MD Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I was on the the old boards as Kathy in MD. I know, no originality! I've on them since late 2000 or 2001, espeicially o the special needs boards. Old age, and time, has made me forgetful. ETA And old age has made my "n" key cranky and difficult.

Mad Jenny Flint Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Been here about 6 or 7 years. I forget the name I used to begin with.

Cathy in IL Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I was there for a year or two before the switch. I remember browsing and posting with my now seven year old on my lap as a tiny baby. Time goes too fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura R (FL) Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Do you mean the old board, or the old, old board? I've been on since 1999, and posted a lot more back then. I remember Quiver of 6 I think it was. ;) I also remember enjoying reading posts by Robin in TX, Beth in OH, and DonnaC. SWB was on the board a lot and Y2K made all the posts read as 1/1/1900.

I know boards change, people move on, but I was just curious who was still hanging out here (that posted advise) not a lurker like myself I was there, but apparently I'm now too old to remember when I started hanging around "the place". We started homeschooling in 2000. This fall, our kids entered public school. We had a great run with homeschooling, and sometimes, I still really miss it. Good to see you finally got up the nerve to post. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in FL Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It's funny, I used to post more on the old board than I do here. But I spend more time reading the boards now than I ever read the old boards. I also use the search feature here to find answers to questions instead of posting them. I've been on the boards since we started homeschooling in Jan of 2002! First I posted as Melissa in MI then when we moved in 2005 I became Melissa in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
