yeah, i didn't mean anything negative by that—just reminded me of that quote. i pretty much communicate in movie/book quotes (whole family does actually) when i found out that had a big long name & was part of being autistic, it all started to make sense!! {#Wink}

I started listening in the fall of 2009, but didn't join until 2010. Seems like yesterday.

There are always folk who think they are treated worse than every one else, for some reason or another. That idea is based solely on their own perception of themselves and is a running theme not just here, but IRL as well.

Wow you guys are hard core! I think I've been listening maybe a year and half or so... Reminds me of a quote from Jaws, "so when do I get to be an islander?"

2002 ish? I think it was the year we bought our house in J.C.

I think I started out as a nuisance. But mellowed with age. Maybe.

I've gone through periods where I don't have access (bandwidth restrictions at work, blocked sites, etc.) so not only not able to listen, but unable to post during work hours. I really missed RP during those times. Now that I work from home, and got a wireless router, I have RP on pretty much all day in the office, and whenever I'm on the home 'puter too.

It sucks you in.

But we love it.
