5 years in the Lounge!!!

[dhermann1]

Last Thursday was the 5th anniversary of the day I joined the Fedora Lounge. One of the best days of my life. I just want to thank all the neat people that I've met here, and give you all a big shout out. :wave:

And here's to many more, my friend! Happy anniversary!

Whoo-hoo!!

My big "5" was on January 1!! Just think of all the technological changes since then.....darn.

 

[Big Man]

Time sure flys by.

Congrats Dan! I hit the 8 year mark myself on the 8th.
I've met quite a few great guys & dolls from the Lounge.

I must be coming up on the five myself soon. Jinkies, time flies. There's another forum I've now been on for a decade, but I'm less than particularly active on it now, and certainly not so enthusiastic.

Hard to believe I'm coming up on three years here. It seems like it was just yesterday that I made my very first post.

And personal changes. My son was 9 when I joined the Lounge and next year he is entering college! Time flies..

 

[Spitfire]

Congratulations!!!! Just figured out that I actually started half a year before you - august 2006!!! Time flies when you are in good company.

 

[scottyrocks]

Yes, congrats! Next month will be three years for me. What a great place.

Ha, yeah... I normally date that sort of thing by when I last had an actual relationship, which must have been....... 2005, so in that time I've had vintage, Imelda May going solo and becoming a highly successful artist, my brother having kids, so many of my friends getting married and some of them having kids, my cats (who will be four in April), Beijing becoming a semi-regular fixture in my life, been to Washington DC for the first time - and many other places, the advent of social networking, the rise and fall of mySpace, the rise and (I predict within the next three years, or as soon as a viable alternative that actually understands the concept of privacy, let alone respects it, appears) fall of Facebook, closing in on a dozen leather jackets, two office moves, the advent of mobile phones with cameras in them, the advent of mobile phones with decent cameras in them, smart phones, touch screen phones, portable internet worth the bother, wifi, tablet computers, the rise of Apple as a cool mainstream brand, the death of Apple as a cool brand, total saturation point for reality television, BluRay, the death of the Saturday morning magazine TV show for kids.... and on.....

Futureshock can kick in easy, and hard, if I give it too much thought.

It's funny how easy it is to think that nothing much has changed in the rel world in the last twenty years (as per another recent thread), and then you see a TFV show from back then that was up to the minute and cutting edge, like Cracker, and see just how dated it looks. Jinkies, it was only in late 2003 that I bought my first digital camera....

Congrats on a fine milestone!

Interesting how this sat for a month then got a few bumps again.
Yes, so much water has passed under the bridge in 5 years. Hard for me to think of life without the Lounge.

Happy anniversary last month!

Sincerely,
The Wolf

One big change I notice is feeling naked without a hat. I started wearing one daily just at the time I joined the lounge - before that, it was something I wore only in extremes of weather to keep the sun off or the heat in.

Congratulations!

I've posted here enough for 5 years... does that count?

 

[skyvue]

Congratulations! I'm nearing the five-year mark, myself.

 

[Tango Yankee]

Congratulations! I passed the 5-year mark back in December but didn't realize it at the time.


Cheers,
Tom

It is a fine thing to be able to read your posts and to learn with everyone else, the knowledge and wisdom shared. Thanks and Gratz!
