Reserved Parking For "The Lovely Wife"...TLW...ROAR!

Blog Boy...

Absolutely amazing. It's all the same stuff! The same Complaints. The same! Same! Same!

Okay. I'm done. I think I'll go back and see what kind of blast from the past I can dig up. 'Reguritating in the Rain' comes to mind :)

I bet I have a few about the incessant whining coming from Grown ups :)

P.S. If I remember correctly our 11 year old Grand Son questioned one of them. Grammy are you sure that's a grown up :)

TLW...ROAR!

BB, this is very interesting to look at the names in the early days of Active Rain. Some guy named Bryant back then is still around. This is good!

Damn it! I will think up a new complaint if it kills me!

Bryant, boy OH boy do those blogs bring back some good memories. Thank you for putting this up again.

Bryant-- Thanks for the roundup! Great summary of what went on on AR this week!

Bryant, I guess your week ends on Thursday. I wish I could say that. ;o)

I remember when Craig put that nose up there, those were the good ole days for sure. I may have missed a couple of those posts so I'll bookmark this. It was an honor and a pleasure to have met you and the TLW Saturday night. I sure do miss the weather as it is raining here and in the 40's. YUCK.

Hey BB - the more things change, the more they stay the same. And those posts prove it - same stuff just different times.

I was wonderful to see you and TLW again in Orlando - you both looked great.

Ann

BB: Cracks me up that folks don't EVEN read your post!

I wasn't here two years ago but, I see several of the same are still on board and contributing to this great community! Thanks for sharing these--can't wait to go back and read them!

Debe in Charlotte

BB - What a great trip back in time. Interesting how many things are still so relevant, adn we see the same issues.

Jeff

Nice trip down memory lane Bryant. Funny how things change but really don't change at all.

Wow. Hard to believe that it has been over two years since I joined AR. Your post brought back many memories. Hope all is well with you and TLW.

It was a big week. I hope we didn't wear TLW out with all the activities last week. Nice to finally meet both of you.

Holy crap! I missed all the drama again! Geez. How does that always happen? I only got drug into the drama one time. That was more than enough for me. But I guess I'd better read some of these. I suppose I should know what's going on. Although it's much nicer finding out about petty drama or cheaters, AFTER it all happens =D

The "Blog Rating Manipulation and Effects" post has been removed. You have a dead link... Crap. I wanted to know what that was about too =(

Long time....no see...and I was around to read all of them...good blast from the past.

Looks like some pretty good reads in there Broker Bryan!!

This was about 2 months before I joined the rain and I was very happy to have gotten in when I did, but wished I had found it a couple months earlier now.

Well howdy doody folks!!! When I found this post yesterday I just knew I needed to repost it. It's a shame that one link is dead(Thanks Lisa) that was a great example of scamming the AR system. Scamming has been going on pretty much since day 1!!!!

OK thanks for stopping by. Always appreciated!!!!!!!

hi Bryant, wow... oldies but goodies. it's amazing too see how far so many have come. My first few posts totally sucked, fortunately I was smart enough to clue into to the BIG DAWGS like you and meet social butterflies like TLW, she saved me from becoming just another (crappy) blogger. Thx 4 the great reads BB & have a fun weekend!

Same old stuff just a different day. It is wierd.

LOL Blog Artist...

I think you're giving me a bit too much credit here. You'd have found yourself. I just gave ya a few shoves :)

TLW...ROAR!

Did anyone notice...

That Blog Boy put my Crap-O-Meter post under the heading of technology? Shows ya how much we knew back then :)

TLW...ROAR!

Tomorrow...

Is a new day. Hopefully I'll be feeling better and more inclinced to stick around and do some commenting in the Rain :)

See round Guys. Don't worry. I'm okay. Just tired and testy. Bad mix :)
