Weird....

[Gypsy]

So, I posted something in another thread, and it got me thinking about a thread I had started long ago. And I was wondering... am I contradicting myself, or has my opinion just changed over time... not a contradiction but an evolution. SO... I went to track that old thread down. Now, compared to Lorelei. or Mara or Kaleigh.. I've got NO post count. But... I'm chatty

. So I get the brilliant idea (at after midnight) to go hunt up that old thread. Not knowing even WHEN (like what YEAR even) I posted it... so I click on my own profile and started flipping back though my old threads (not posts, that would have been silly... *snort*). Through my wedding planning, through my job change, though my cross country move (and the drive!), through my mom's surgeries, through my setting search....

Has anyone other "chatty" poster done that? It's really like a photoalbum in words. It was so weird to read my old posts, surprising a lot of it actually. So many things I don't even remember now, daily things, that when I read them made me smile or wince or ... just read as if it was about someone else.

It's so weird. It was like I was outside of myself, watching someone else's life (not in total, but well, a lot of it and especially a lot of the 'big' events both good and bad) unfold. And no, I didn't find that old thread... stopped looking for it, and just started reading about me (sounds really concieted put like that) but it was like looking the mirror, and well, I was surprised at what I saw, and no, not always happy or proud of what was there and what it said about me, but it did help me see things as if through an outsider's eyes.

Very strange. Admittedly, it could be the later hour too.

Anyway, just HAD to post about it... cause you know... I'm chatty.

I''ve read things over and seen them in a totally different way... perception is weird. I''m not sure I posted anything interesting enough here to go back on, one thing I did note was that as many freaking pictures as I took, I really thought I had taken a lot more lol

Hi Cehra, I''ve missed you. And I''m sorry.

I found some pics I didn''t realize I''d taken of pieces that were stolen from me when I was robbed last fall, and they were so precious those pictures, and I was so glad I had posted them on here. Now I have a piece of those items back. Somehow it was very healing.

 

[Cehrabehra]

I''m sorry you had some things stolen - that''s awful! I imagine having pictures would mean a lot...

I had a board I posted on when I was pregnant over 10 years ago that I ended up recording everything from - my mom was dying and I recorded my pregnancy - it was cool stuff. I''m still friends with some of the people I posted with then. One of them is a best friend now. The kind who takes two cats and a labrador when you say you''re moving overseas lol now that''s a good friend!

I missed you too

PS is a good place. And for me is like your board. And I''ve made some very nice friendships here too. And count you among them.

And hey, hon... you still got all that cushion knowledge rattling around in that super brian of yours... cause I know of a guy who could probably use some of it. And maybe some humility.

Ain''t no "maybe" about it.

btw, nice post.

I haven''t intentionally looked through my old posts, but in searching things for other people, I''ve come across many of mine. It is kind of interesting.

Someone is OBVIOUSLY needing a chill pill.

Gypsy, you always handle everything with such grace............

 

[Gypsy]

Grace... that is a very sweet thing to say. Though, I'm afraid if you knew me in real life... the illusion of grace would be sadly dispelled. Thank you though, A. I very much appreciate the compliment.

Ellen, tell me about it babe. And thanks. It was the result of some tongue bitting and revision. As I'm sure you understand. LOL. Isn't it funny too look back on your old posts. Of course... I have a feeling if I looked through some of yours I'd be LMAO for days, given what I recall from them, just without looking (oh, the squirrels).

I have been online since probably the Internet came out. I know I have been posting on forums since I was 16. We all grow and change - things I have written in the past shock me. I am glad we all change and grow up.
