Have you ever revisited your first post on this forum where you introduced yourself?

[Warrigal]

Occasionally I look back on my words of introduction see what I said back then and to check how long I have been a member. I did this today.

I joined Seniors Forums on July 11 in 2013. The Australian forum that I was a member of had folded and SF suddenly had an influx of Australians and Brits looking for a new home. A few of us are still here.

Time for a roll call ? Give a shout if you read this post.

No I never look back at my first post but did today. It’s nothing exciting. I joined March 28, 2018, asking for retirement tips , so just over 3 years ago.

No. I don't think I ever introduced myself anyway. So I'll do that now :

Hi everybody, I'm chic! I love art, music, fitness, makeup, fashion, cooking, health, yoga, hiking and nature. If you wanna take a nature walk in designer Pradas, I'm your girl. Have a nice day.

I just went back and found my 'introduction'. I joined this forum on June 12, 2020.

What a depressing life at the time I joined. I was going nuts with the pandemic and with hubby always being away at work. A hospital never closes.

Well, hubby is retired and things are livening up. We can finally go out and enjoy living life to its' fullest ~ once again.

We celebrate life now!

I didn’t introduce myself, just joined quietly to check Senior Forums out after another site I used closed in 2016

No. I haven't gone back to the very first. But occasionally I unknowingly come across old posts. I'm just so amazed I think just like that other guy. DUH!!
What can I say, I'm easily amused.

I joined 7 and a half years ago, and was working full time .... back in Jan 29th 2014.. but that was the old forum before we changed over to this one .. how can we look back at our posts from there ?

I joined Mar. 23, 2016. It saddens me that some members are gone now. However, life and the forum continue on ..

[Aunt Marg]

I've revisited all of my posts a few times, including my introduction entry.

I joined April 20, 2020, which was a Monday.

 

[moviequeen1]

Yes, I joined in August 2017,after 5 yrs at the 'God Awful AARP' website
What I really like about this forum,members are from around the world,get a different perspective on any given topic.I feel I've been here longer than 4 yrs

 

[hollydolly]

I've heard people mention the AARP forum a few times negatively .. I have no idea what or where it is, but can anyone tell me why it was so bad ?

Hey Everyone... I joined back in June 06th, 2019... Still a great place in my mind... Just hope to get here more often then I have been getting here, now that we have finally bought a house... We get the keys 29th of this month... So once we get moved and settled... I am sure I will be back almost one a day or so contributing again...

Americans tend to like Aussie's. no particular reason we just do.

 

[Kadee]

No because I’m not even sure if the details were moved to this new format form the “old“
SF
I just checked it was. 28th Nov 2014 I joined I’ll have to look it up later if I even introduced myself.

 

[JustBonee]

My first Introduction post is still there, from June 2013, and I was using a different name at the time.

Where have all those people gone .... ???

I know, it really does bring back memories of so many people when you see all the old names...

Some people joined and left soon after, others stayed for a couple of years for whatever reason.. some could have been ill,or just tired of the forum, .. some died who'd been very active members as well...That's the only drawback about being friends with seniors... they leave after a while one way or another..

How did you find your first post I can't find mine..

Go to the Introductions Holly ... at the bottom it shows 100 pages. Work your way back from there ... maybe page 95-96?

 

[Pinky]

@hollydolly .. I found your intro
Page 90 in Introductions, about halfway down.

 

[hollydolly]

Thanks Pinks.. wow, I just counted 13 of my welcoming committee members have either died or stopped posting a long time ago..

Fortunately we still have @SeaBreeze , @drifter , @Pappy @Warrigal and @rkunsaw ..from my introductory thread in Jan 2014.. still with us...

I looked back and found my introduction post, too. I joined in April of 2013, so just a little ahead of @Warrigal and her dear friend, Diwundrin.
I have always wondered what became of Di, and she was a most interesting person.
