    Thank you. Was away for a while, now nostalgia brings me back.

    Glad to have you back.
    Its a bit quieter here than you may remember.
    A lot of people have disappeared.

    Thanks. Been around for a few years, mostly lurk. Was in Fido back in the 90's and then rejoined about 7 years ago.

    As I was telling Grease in another msg. its a lot quieter here than it
    was years ago. When I joined Memories (also in the '90s) there would be lots of mgs every day and nearly a full time job just keeping up.
    But some have dropped out to other places, BBS' have folded, some
    wandered off and some have passed on. And we have a few who lurk and only occasionally post anything.
    We are down to about 20-30 msgs a week (often less), rather than the
    50-60 per day.
    But glad to have you back.

    A lot of people have disappeared.

    I've lost a few since the late 80's, early 90's. It may be a little quieter, but in some areas, it's the same. Just different people. Good to be back, though.

    I almost always need a list when I shop for things not on a regular
    basis. Over time I'll add to the list as the need arises.
    Then I get to the store and realise I left the list at home. :)

    One day I was in a supermarket and looking around trying to remember
    another item I needed to get that wasn't on my regular routine.
    A clerk walked up and asked if she could help and I told her only if she could help me remember what I was forgetting.
    She chuckled and said I was on my own on that. :)

    I see a Lot of people doing that after talking to me.

    You probably did too when You left my house to drive back to WV.

    Long ago a message You wrote had a URL for a webpage about Old Prices.
    Would You write it again in a message?
    Thanks.

    I have no idea.
    Do you mean an inflation calculator? I use http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ quite often. Enter the amount of money and then the year and it gives
    the amount in today's money. Such as $100 in 1990 would be $193 today.

    Don't recognise ya. Welcome to Memories.

    Thank you. Was away for a while, now nostalgia brings me back.

    You're in the right place then... ;) I don't remember you from
    Memories, though.... but maybe it was before my time... I've only been
    hanging out here since shortly after Y2K, when the then moderator
    thought maybe his messages weren't getting out, and dragged me in to do
    some double checking for him (turned out the bbs he was using then
    wasn't sending things out properly after all)... I've been in Fidonet
    for longer than that, started in the genealogy echos... :)

    Let me add my welcome to that of the moderator.... :)

    Thank you and howdy back. Started back in the mid/late 80's(87/88). Did some moving about and finally got out about when youu came in (00-02). Drifted away and finally wanted to see if I could put a board back up. So far, the only things that changed, are the names. Some of them are the same too.

    I have kept a daily journal since I was 18, save for the first and last
    six months of when I was in the Navy, and the year 2000 when I started using the computer and lost that whole year when the pc hiccuped. (I did do a
    quick few page catch up in early '
    Every day I record that days events, including the weather.
    If asked in a trial "Where you on the night of the 19th" I can show
    where I was and what I was doing. :)

    So, were you here in MEMORIES back then...? I started out mainly with
    the genealogy echoes, but have expanded a bit since then... :)

    Drifted away and finally wanted to see if I could put a board
    back up. So far, the only things that changed, are the names. Some of them are the same too.

    Yes, some of us never left... :) And a number of others came back
    after a time of being away... I think a lot of people wrongly saw what
    they thought was the handwriting on the wall and decided to drop out
    before things all ended.... then discovered later that things didn't
    stop after all... ;) One of my local sysops dropped out of the scene
    around Y2K, and then (as some of us had mostly expected) decided that he
    missed it too much... and put his board back up... Sadly he's no longer
    with us...
