Janie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The other night I was wondering what it was like here the very first day the forum came online, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for the TRF veterans here so they could reminisce and share their TRF memories with those of us who are new. Maybe include memorable members who have come and gone. Or something that happened that was particularly funny. Or sad. You must have many memories. I'm sure I am not the only one who would love it if you would share them with the rest of us. :)The first memory I have is Mara telling us about the time she got stung in the butt by a clever little wasp hiding in her towel. This... this sticks out in my mind! Honest-to-god truth it's the first thing I thought of! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I found him. He's a legend. But I think trying to read his posts would have given me a headache.

Lorraine Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I did a bit of searching here, and I found it depressing. There was a lot more cohesiveness and camaraderie here back then than there is now. Up to about 2010/11. After that, I don't know what happened to cause a change here. I even ran into Savage on a 2008 thread. If anyone is interested, he was the same back then too. :sarcastic: Edited April 15, 2015 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you couldn't see me laughing away. Funny as hell that this is such a prominent memory for Janie! Except she did get one detail wrong. It wasn't my butt that got stung. It was, as the Brits sometimes call it, my "front-bottom". Very painful and yes, I did pound that little bastard wasp into about 2000 pieces. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
