Oh my gosh, this is still here. I can see why we're using moderation,
though. s.s looks like nearly 100% bots.

So, who here attended the ... 1994? 1995? [Fuzzy] DenverBoink. Would love
to connect with you all again. It's been a while.

Several decades of news for me; 3 kids and a lot of work later--it's been
eventful!

I "qualify" for soc.singles again, though...didn't know that was going to
happen. Life is like a box of chocolates, and all that.

it's very quiet here these days. :) i didn't even know
it was still working for quite a long time. rumor has it that
various people from here now are on facebook but i've never
done that so i couldn't say much about it.

Probably for the best.

I feel like we were both there and it was 1994, I'm pretty sure.

I was on thefacebook, but have suspended that, at least for the present. I may go back again. I can be reached on Messenger. I also vaguely maintain Trillian, though when Yahoo went back behind their Walled Garden and AIM finally folded, that started to seem pointless. Google Hangouts work. As do Allo, Duo, Signal, WhatsApp, Kik, and others. I'm as connected as it's possible to be--and yet I still often feel disconnected. I'd better stop or I might just start crying. Meditation, man. It's good stuff. Good for what ails human beings. Time to go do some more.

May you be at peace. Please keep in touch if you're willing.

forgotten a lot of things now.

i used to have a yahoo messenger id, but that was a long
time ago. not many people are into chat any more as the
same is for e-mail. writing takes too much effort for them...
*shrug*

i've never been connected via much other than e-mail.
we still don't have a cellphone or cable t.v. and as
far as i've seen i'm not missing all that much.

and that also gives a contact address.
