You're lucky I let you stay. You'd never have gotten married to JZ otherwise.
I've always admired your beneficence.
And your new haircut.
That's insane troll logic!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2006: You're ON THE LIST!!!
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Also, libkitty was my SS last year and I just have to say that it is hard to get something to AK by Christmas. I totally thought I was on time and everything but it still turned out to be late.
Absolutely. And Juneau, while perhaps better than the bush, is much worse than Anchorage or Fairbanks, even though it's closer. I really meant it when I said I wasn't complaining.

Buffistas rock, and Buffista sekrit santas are the best sekrit santas ever.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have no idea when I started--maybe sometime in 2000? It was during TT, I know. I feel very lucky to have found this cyberjoint to hang out in.

It was the Slacker Santa exchange, however, what else should you expect.

I first started reading the b.org in the fall of 2002. I finally registered in order to be able to use the magic of "read new." It was several months before I delurked, and it took me a while to start posting regularly. Just reading was an extraordinary gift to me during a very bad time.

Trust my rage
I think if my child were in the hospital, I wouldn't even remember to lock the car door, let alone remember to send a Secret Santa gift to an invisible friend.
Thank you...I was lucky I knew you well enough to know you'd like Lush. It was something I could order and let them pack and ship for me.
The week I was in the hospital with Ellie, I was sure this Christmas would just suck but it has turned out to be lots of fun and very relaxing. I've always sort of thought that people who were unwilling to move away from family were a bit weak in some way, but this entire experience has made me appreciate the value of having family close by. I missed them so much while Ellie was hospitalized and they were so wonderful once we got home.

Ooh, ooh, Java cat, I know where: ALASKA!!!
Duuuude, I'll take you up on it!
How many registered Buffistas are there now? I clicked on a few new-to-me people's names last night and it looks like it's just under 1,800? If yes, wow! That's a nice small town right there.

I have a friend who's registered, but no longer reads here. If there are any other Alaskans on the board, I don't think they've delurked.
So, when are you coming? I need some cleaning notice, and I do have the futon booked a few times this spring, although I do have a couch as well. Other than that, it's yours!

I think the second thing I posted was a spoiler that burned Dana's eyes.
I think in one of my first posts I spelled Betsy name wrong. And I think I spoiled someone in another.
I delurked in early 2001 I think, on TT. I think Tom W. delurked on the same day. And I would swear most of you were already there.

libkitty, stay tuned, and thanks!
That's some nice archive there, DX. I didn't see my name in WX at all but now I can't remember if I used the same name or not and I'm not going to read them all to figure it out. 'Twas #18 on Natter #1. (4 years sure go by fast!) Discovering the board was like, I don't know, finding fairies dancing in the moonlight. Like Beej, I kind of just plunged in and was entranced that such a cool thing existed.
