So thankful for this site. It was a sad day when the GB forums closed. Just wish more of the regulars I used to post with would migrate over.

Ooops! I just noticed this thread. Hello to everyone. I was rodking3 at the other place, joined in May 2001, but didn't get real active until 9/11. I refuse to use what has been described to me as a buggy app but am happy to have found this place.
Very cold this morning in MN with 16F.

MadFueler, were you in Brandenburg when the tornado came through? I think that was in the early 70's. I was in Louisville then - but that was close enough, especially since we had one of our own that day (April 3rd, 1974). I certainly heard about not only Brandenburg, but also Palmyra, IN and many other places - lots of folks got hit all over the country back then. Very sobering to read the monument in front of the Meade County courthouse, with all the loss of life there.

Hello Maddog I was at the other place for almost 10 years. It was sad that they decided to end the threads. I too has lots of people I met over the years. I have the same name here that I had there. Is it possible to start a tv thread so those of us who were discussing television, movies etc can still chat about those things? Great to see you here! I stopped posting at GB and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders! No pressure and it's more fun!

Very sobering to read the monument in front of the Meade County courthouse, with all the loss of life there. I was a child in Kentucky back then. I just happened to be with my father in Xenia, Ohio. When the storms started lighting up, he said he decided it was time to get back to Kentucky! It was a good thing he left! The tornadoes did some serious damage to Xenia! He still had that car when I was a teenager and you can see the hail damage on it. It was a new car when it happened.

I thought I posted here when I signed up for this forum. I was a member of GasBuddy for almost 4-1/2 years and I did enjoy it. Mostly I just played the games. I had something like 396 consecutive days before I missed and when the site closed I had 0 days. One thing about this forum there are no consecutive day and that is fine by me. I was born and raised in a small town called Titusville PA. I went to college in Joplin MO, then moved to Mishawaka, IN where I am today. I have been married for 43 years, have 10 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren and another one on the way. Both my husband and I are retired and I am loving every minute of it. Looking forward to making more friends. Later...............
