So who is still around?

Hi, Christine, many of us are still here, kicking and causing trouble.

did I miss anything exciting? How have you been?

In the Indian movies '420' refers to the C.I.D. (Criminal Investigation Department) of India to fraud or fraudster. There was a comedy called Shree 420 or Mr. 420 starring Raj Kapoor as fraudster.

cool lol... I made this account when I was a teenager... it was a reference to pot then... lol... haven't done that in 7 years now at least! :-)

hey CL, i think about you whenever i see the Answer my Question with a question????? thread on the New Posts page (which is about every day)

good to see you back

Hi, WB Christine. Don't recall you but that's OK. I'm still catching up on family members.

FWIW, here's the 411 on 420 for those who wonder what the derivation of it is/was:

"420, 4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) refers to consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture. The date April 20 is sometimes referred to as "Weed Day" or "Pot Day".

The most popular current belief is that the term was allegedly coined by a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971. The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana outside the school."

Gun control was defeated

I 've been happy!

WOW!!! Look at you all grown up!

Great to see you back, CL.

I've been fine, all told, though on any given day I'll complain a lot.

Here's a link to Jespah's thread, A2k 2010 in review. She's done that for several years now, and those probably have similar titles. You can look them up by putting the title in the Google custom search at the top of the page, the white space to the right.

That was the first place I went to when I came back, to ask a question to hear a question! I was so surprised everyone liked it so much, glad to see it still entertains after all these years!

I am.. Married (to one of the guys I had previously posted about in my years of drama with relationships) and two beautiful children.

How have you been?

Thanks, love that thread! It is a really good idea!

A song. Welcome back sweets!

thanks! I have never heard a song, that I can recall, that has my name in it.... unless you count my grandfather changing 'Goodnight Irene' to Goodnight Christine when I was a child :-)

That's enough, you can search the rest..

ha ha, thanks, that actually covers all that I missed!

Well, not all.

One of the best threads ever on here was about Joe Nation's breakup. Very personal and very well written. He has moved on, in health, but it remains one of the best threads (not to knock him over the head with it).

There are a bunch of good threads if you investigate.
Fbaezer talked about the Mexico City earthquake, another memorable thread - sorry, no link.

I remember you!

hey christine!
