When you're happy to see a locked thread, because that means something exciting probably happened in there, and you spend however long it takes to read the whole thing so you won't miss it and will understand its every nuance.

...when you realize your kids were all still in school when you joined and today your oldest son has moved out of the house into his first apartment.

I'm a little happy and a little sad.

When you know when to stop posting in a thread in spite of responses.

And then there was SK's Drunken Thread.... :)
Yes, that one's a classic that still pops up once in a while. I got so drunk in there one night that I shared a nude image of myself (tastefully cropped, I might add) and had no memory of the post the following day. I've heard rumors of at least one member who saved the image before it was deleted, and I'm still waiting for the blackmail letter to arrive...

That was me, you handsome thing. And today I was looking for something and happened to see it again. So there!

I did enjoy the drunk thread, but I've only had the one glass of wine.

So far.

Uh oh. Now there's two more potential trouble makers I have to worry about! The other one is Katho (rhymegirl) who, if my source is to be trusted, has a poster-size print of the photo attached to the ceiling of her bedroom, much to the chargin of her poor husband.

I haven't. Some things always stay with a person, regardless the passage of time.

I heard rumor once that there was a dclary thread in the secret mod's room just for aggregating total complaints. :)

I've mellowed with age. I'm like cheese. Big, round, occasionally stinky.

Yes. And I remember when you changed it then couldn't find it again and I had happened on it at another site and directed you towards it, saving the day.
