144. Top Ten Conservative Idiots hooked me.

Wed Jan 20, 2016, 01:39 AM

Jan 2016

I started lurking in 2001, I joined in 02, though honestly, I didn't post much then either.

I lost...well, everything, in 07. It took me two years to get a roof over my head, and a computer, and internet service again. By that time I could no longer remember my password, and I only thought my user name was 'Chelle' I wasn't sure. But I couldn't rejoin using that name because it was "being used." (probably by me, LOL)

Of course, even if I had all of those old posts to add to the ones I have now, I'd still probably be less than 2500.
