A walk down memory lane....

[Lorelei]

Great to see you Miss Mara!

 

[Ellen]

Thanks for all the mentions on my Aqua, I''m touched!

lol @ the peeing squirrel.

That was a fun thread, and I''m happy to report, he''s left the stoop for good. In fact, it was quite uncanny, he left just days after that thread. I never even had to try anything chemical wise.

Gosh, I have so many memories....


Kenny and all his whiney threads on his Asscher....

belle, Loelei and I totally threadjacking some poor souls thread while they were trying to get me to watch Princess Bride.

Harriet''s thread on her ACA coming up a lower color has a hysterical bit of about 5 pages in the middle of it....

One ring (among so many) that sticks out for me is Miss 777''s tapered eternity ring. Besides helping her with it, it just turned out SO stunning. Just swoonable. Miss you if you''re lurking and read this, funny lady!!

Tgal''s labor thread. Changing her av, acting like it was just another day with a pending appt. lol

SDL''s thread on the earrings she had made for her daughters graduation. So from the heart, and they turned out beautifully.

Some thread I don''t even know the name of where I was "bartending", and people kept asking for this, that, and the other, til I finally got fed up and threw my apron in.

Skippy and her constant lightening quick edits, after I''ve quoted her...

I could go on and on, but I''ll end with this, which I think is probably the most I laughed at one of my own threads, with the possible exception of the squirell.


Of course, the most memorable, shall remain unspoken.....

Perhaps I should have made categories??


Sorry it''s so open ended, but wanted you to share what comes to your mind....


I will share this. It was Nan''s birthday, and Angello was in the hopsital after surgery. Irina had emailed back and forth with me for updates. I said it was her birthday, could we do something fun for Nan?? Irina was all for it. She had all the big vendors call Nan on her cell phone. I was there when the calls came in, she was like OMG, I just talked to Wink, To Gary. to John. We had to time the calls just so, as you can''t use your cell in the Hospital. Her expressions getting those calls were priceless. I pray she doesn''t kill me for sharing this story. But it''s one, that is soooo sweet, and was such fun for me to be in on it.

What a sweet and lovely story Lisa - I had no idea. Its such a perfect illustration of the incredible warmth and empathy people have here in the PS community - how lovely that you were able to do that for sweet Nan, and what a blessing that Angello is thriving so well now

Great thread Lisa,


Most important for me was LostSapphire and her quest to ''get rid of the horrible Monster''. My heart broke for her because she was in such terrible pain. Sometimes I wanted to post to her, but I didn''t know what to say. When I did post, I just wanted to reach through the computer and give her a hug.

thank you LInda

it just dawned on me I am only 8-1/2 weeks post op and some days I don''t even think about the MONSTER!

LS

I remember how heartbreaking that thread was too - I''m sure we all felt the same way, desperately wishing there was more we could do to help.

But how wonderful LS, that the Monster is finally at bay - what an incredible blessing - all that everyone who posted in that thread and followed it could have possibly hoped for

Reena''s ring and the process was one of the first I followed very closely. Her wedding venue was gorgeous.

Ooh - I remember Reena''s ring from way back when I first joined. That is still one of the all-time classic beauties, IMO - it definitely started my fascination with Leon Mege, the stone and ring both were just perfection

OMG - it HAS been a long time, hasn't it? Many, MANY fond memories.

The very small cast of characters when I started: Rich S., Rockdoc, Leonid, F&I (miss her terribly), Hest, Lawmax, Capt Aubrey (STILL miss him), Giangi, Mara, Scooby, Garry

Standouts in my memory bank:

Sharing life events with Mara (engaged/married/house purchases at the same times)
Jlim (I thought F&I was gonna KILL that boy)
Tiffany fridays (and the trichrome Tiffany love)
SpicoliCpa
Optimized (Tim)....he was a sweetie.
Noobie's MANY drool-worthy projects - that man was the master.
the thread where Rich S. found out I was of the x-chromosome persuasion
Mara's saga with Greg's wedding ring and her many upgrades
Mara angsting with me to narrow down a spreadsheet of about 102 stones for my e-ring

,
TOE RINGS - Yeah!
the arrival of John Pollard (fantastic addition)
Stephan's first upgrade
the first vault assault
Josh starting the SMTR forum
yaw

"How big is TOO big?"

Strain
The D vs. H thread that sparked the legendary Lemon Pie
Val's mad photoshop skills
Mara's wedding and the many destination weddings during that time
the Locke's solitaire that started a craze
the halo craze
the steam room
"Quack, quack"

the creation of multiple forums
ICY WHITE DIAMONDS

Angelo's surgery
Leonid & Irina's departure
T-Gal baking as she went into labor
The April baby trifecta (Tgal, Jas12, and Mrs. Salvo)
Mrs. Salvo's Daniel K find (and the sad realization that it wasn't 'it' either)
Skippy's avatar changing to the peanut butter jar - LOVED it!
Dee's many Demon stories
Lisa's Nanny
The loss of Lorelei's horse
Meeting the PS Boston gals - best group of women ever.
Kt's tractor escapade

Fata's wedding
The loss of Robin and Rock Doc
Deco's wedding wrap
T-Gal's roach avatar
the x-mas avatar caper

There are just SO many memories. What strikes me most is how many friendships have become real-life friendships to me and how those have enriched my life (and still do).

This is a big one for me too, ladies! The three of us all joined right around the same time. Reena''s ring is what drew me out of lurking! I''m still in love with Leon.. attitude and all

Did anyone mention ICY WHITE diamonds?????

Oh you win the prize Allison, that is the most comprehensive list yet!!!

Now I do have a pretty good memory, but the quack, quack is leaving me wondering??? Was that before my time?

 

[Linda W]

And does anyone remember Kenny????? Oh how he used to make me laugh. It seems he was always putting his foot in his mouth one way or another.

The most humorous line I will never forget, was when he said "I have a friend that likes to be called Betty, but I call him Bruno. I think we all fell off of our chairs laughing. I was sorry he left, he sure made PS interesting with his humor.
