Bless you my little love bundle >

The Church off the PCD place great store in endearments , many believe this is due to one off the early founders reaction to coming round from anesthetics , whereby he had a unstoppable urge to share the warm loving feelings he had to everyone. As the founder was English this was seen as a double miracle,

We are at the casino and I won $161 on a 25 cent bet last night . I know I will lose it but it was a very good feeling to win after driving all day and night .

We were supposed to stop in Saint Louis but I felt like driving more so I ended up driving all the way here, over 14 hours of driving but we arrived ! .

Yikes! What a haul! I've driven back and forth several times from CT to MN in one day but that was over 25 years ago. Hope you guys at least split the drive.

And yikes! What a haul! $161 on a quarter. Quit now!! lol.

I can only speak for myself, but there are certainly days when I feel over 50,000.... oh wait, you're talking about posts, not years. ;D

IIRC, Peter Staley started AIDSmeds.com in 1999 and Andy was on board from the beginning. I rocked up in early 2001. I think you were here from around 2000, yes? I know you were one of the first people I "met" here, and that was even before we had the FuseTalk forum software. I think Peter got us FuseTalk in late 2001 or early 2002. You, Andy and me are the only ones left from the pre-FuseTalk days. Don't know about you, but I miss Peter and Tim Horn, the other original member/moderator.

If I remember correctly, the forums installed FuseTalk in January 2002.  I joined in December 2001 and I remember the confusion and problems getting the new software to work.

I texted him to go to a gay bar last night to find some healthy "clean" corn-fed queerboys and he demurred, preferring to play penny slots at the casino like some 85 year old woman.

Its such a stationary activity too and one feels the cold more with out movement Mr Wump. One more tip in case you find yourself in a less warm climate. Although as all off us know pay attention to base layers then that shawl is just there to be worked .
