Today is the my 9th year being a member here.

Over the course of those years my life has changes so much.  I've added kids and pets to my household and watch them grow.

I've changed jobs and houses and cities.  I've seen technology move like never before.

I've grown up significantly.

Through it all . . Ive had my friendships here.   Some of the best friends I've ever had.  And I have met a pile of "consequential strangers" that have made my life better than it could have been.  I'm around less now than I used to be . . but I'm still here and enjoy the time spent.

So, thank you Stardock for the site.  Thank you skinners for the skins.  Thank you trolls and 13375 for keeping things . . "interesting". Thank you members who want to help and member who just want to have fun.

Thank you friends.  Thank you all.
