I’m not on the list and I’m not dead.

Guess I’m in FReeper limbo.

:-)

[AppyPappy]

I think I am still here

[DBrow]

I’m not normally nostalgic, but wow how things have changed!

[Ditter]

A+Bert wasn’t on your list. I lurked for months then I signed up in late ‘97. When I finally got my courage up to post a reply, Bert attacked me and I ran off and hid. LOL!

I’m not like that anymore! ;p

[BuckeyeTexan]

That seemed kinda uppity of me to account for people who’ve been here a decade longer than I.

Didn’t mean it that way. Just tryin’ to help.

[Lazamataz]

You ain’t uppity. After all, you made me a sammich. ;)

[BuckeyeTexan]

Do you know who the first 10 or so FReepers were, besides yourself obviously? Just a curiosity. :)

[Lazamataz]

I think I am still here

Yes, you are.

But personally, I miss ParrotsUp. Now THAT was a FREEPER.

I originally found FR while still reading posts in a group that was originally on Prodigy...anyone remember that group?

[BuckeyeTexan]

Heh. I am a b*tch though ... in a binder.

Coteblanc was zotted, and I think she has since passed away.

[Lazamataz]

I’m not normally nostalgic, but wow how things have changed.

Seeing some of those names blew me away. Whatever happened to RJayneJ? She was one of my earliest buddies, although we never hit it.....

[IronJack]

I’m here.

The last I knew, OWK was banned years ago. Repeatedly.

He was last seen deep in the Hurtgen Forest .

[Gritty]

I’m still around but have been mostly taking the Fifth lately, Laz.

[Cyber Liberty]

I want to know if Deb ever found her green sweater, and if anybody has ever been beaten, stripped and sent to her tent.

[Lazamataz]

Heh. I am a b*tch though ... in a binder.

I like b*tches in binders.

Depending what the binders are binding, of course....

[gunnyg]

Yeah!
Very, very interesting.....

That's about MY limit, too.

I thought of you several nights ago, and wondered how you are doing.........Hope all is okay with you. I’m still in shock over the death of Doctor Raoul. There will never be another like him.
