I almost hate to say it, but I kinda miss this place.

[ScarySquirrel]

Really... I wish I had more time in the day to come kick it and read and post stuff up in here.

What in the hell is it about this place that keeps me (and others, obviously) coming back over and over again? Not that I'm complaining... but it's kinda odd when I think about it.

Anyway, yeah, I miss having time to come here consistently. Hope y'all are doing well and hanging in there! Take 'er sleazy.

[Kid Presentable]

I realised I never had a posting hiatus like most other longer-term posters, and to be posting fairly consistently since Jan 04 makes me feel like a fucking loser. For about 5 seconds. Fuck it.

[hpdrifter]

I've never taken a posting hiatus and I think I'm of the class of '04 too.

And, things being the way they are in my life right now, I am glad for it.

[Kid Presentable]

Nah you fucked off for about 6 months in 06

[hpdrifter]

Did I? Okay, so you're better than me.

[Kid Presentable]

Jesus I'm not going to have to be that careful about what I say, am I?

[GreenEarthAl]

Yeah. Ditto Adam.

[Echewta]

I keep coming back because the bread they give you is so delicious. Especially with the honey butter.

[hpdrifter]

I was just being jokey snide. Didn't mean anything by it.

It's gotta be Friday night where you are, loosen up buddy!

Oh, you edited just in time.

[Kid Presentable]

I was being sensitive to your sensitivity and it was a disaster (y)

[hpdrifter]

We're so awkward.

[nodanaonlyzuul]

I wonder the same thing.

I think you 04 kids shouldn't feel any shame, considering some others have posted here for 11 years *cough cough* :( haha.

[rirv]

I've gone from being a 15 yr old to 24 on these boards.

[Echewta]

boards? Plural? Or is this just a board?

[HEIRESS]

I feel like you never left SS because you are by far the most active person on my facebook.

your only competition as far as quantity of status updates goes would be Bob.

[NicRN77]

I had a bit of a hiatus...but I'm glad to be back. Your posts always entertain me.

[Adam]

There was the Grand Royal board to. Most of us crossed.

Then the temp boards in the crashes that we've had.

Easily plural.

I love this place.

[alruggs]

Seems like a few of us old timers are coming back on the same cycle. I think I keep up on most of the folks on Facebook.

[p-branez]

scarysquirrel, we are in the same boat. we have to represent michigan to the rest of the world that is the beastie boys message board.

last time i remembered you were going to school at gvsu - living in allendale now?

[abcdefz]

Long, strange trip.

[Adam]

Long, strange trip.

woah, wb.

Did you find yourself?

[Helvete]

I just realised last month marked 7 years of me being here. Obviously not as Helvete, but I've used like 6 names or so.

[abcdefz]

woah, wb.

Did you find yourself?


Working on it.

Speaking of "late to the party": MGMT and TextsFromLastNight.com.

[abcdefz]

...also: Doodle Jump really does make me feel like I'm falling.

[synch]

I'm from 2004 as well. Have pretty much always kept lurking even if I don't post as much as I used to.

It always depended on how busy I was at work and how much fun a computer was at home after having spent 12-22 hour work days sat at one.

Like a-z, "long, strange trip."

Moved to L.A., moved back to MI (Detroit area), couldn't get ANY work, got a job in Grand Rapids, back in Allendale... trying to get back to L.A. again.

[hpdrifter]

a-z.

Hope it was a good trip, not involving any kinds of wagons. You know.

[abcdefz]

Like a paddy wagon? ;-)

nah

[venusvenus123]

yeah, hi "old" friends :)

[Adam]

did any of you see Nuzz on your travels?

[ScarySquirrel]

did any of you see Nuzz on your travels?
No, but I think I remember her picture and she was distinctively good-looking... which, oddly enough, isn't that uncommon on these boards. However, if I had run into her, I'm sure I would have remembered it.

[paul jones]

I ran into Nuzz before

[abcdefz]

Whoa! How are YOU!?

[venusvenus123]

Whoa! How are YOU!?

hello :)

you're gonna wish you hadn't asked that question as i've been quite ill for the past 8 months or so. mostly it's been that long because it took the doctors a while to discover what was wrong... with my lungs :eek:

anyway, it's not cancer, or they haven't found that yet. but some other long term disease. i've been off work for months and am only just starting to go back, very slowly. luckily (in this instance) i work for the house of commons and they have a good care policy.

so that, very boringly, is how i am.

how are you? i've missed this place a bit. might start posting again.

[Adam]

oh no vv! I hope you're ok. Good to know you're getting back into it all though (y)

This is site is a great support network to.

[kll]

I like this thread.

[Knuckles]

Yikes! Not good news. You've made me all :(.

Whoa. I hope things turn out all right. What the hell? What do they think it is?

[venusvenus123]

Whoa. I hope things turn out all right. What the hell? What do they think it is?

Oh, well they found out that I have a condition called bronchiectasis, which they were able to see with a CT scan. Basically it means that the tubes of your lungs are wider than they should be, so they allow all manner of crap to get in there. I am quite prone to chest infections.

So I have had this chest infection for which I had to take nebulised anti-biotics twice a day for 3 months. Very boring (and tiring). They also suspected this other infection, which doesn't really ever go away--you just manage it. Although that is not 100% diagnosed. Finally, they found I am a carrier of this mutated cystic fibrosis gene. They're still waiting on full results of that one.

The last thing is the most alarming, I guess. But I am reassured by the specialist (who happens to specialise in adult CF) that even if I turn out to have a type of CF, it is manageable. Yep, so happy days.

I am mostly feeling like my old self now, and have started back to work. So let's hope it's up from here. . .

[abcdefz]

I really hope so.

I mean, I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but you're one of the good people. :-)

[miss soul fire]

I miss this place, but mostly because the beastie boys is my favorite band and because of some people, but I don't miss the time I used to post here. I was way too sad and insecure, I believe. However, I kinda miss my age at that time. Ooops, no insecure comments!:D

[cookiepuss]

Hello old friends....:D

[monkey]

i love that this place has been more or less a good constant in my crazy life. i leave it for a while, come back when i need to. i lurk sometimes, just reading what people are saying... it's quite a lovely community to belong to. i appreciate it. (y)

and it dont hurt that most of you guys are totally willing to say nice things when i need the validation, and there's always people willing to bring me down back to size when my head is getting too big. :)

[miss soul fire]

It's gonna be weird. Next year, I'll finally go to Europe and I won't have anybody to meet anymore.:(

:D
