In reply to: The Chief 's message, "My daughter will be 14 in September - I knew you before she was born because she still has a Beanie Baby you sent her. :-) Yes, I believe Judi and I were the first ones to break free of Maeve's so we could drool over Harm, and then you came along and offered to host a web page for photos and other things (like fanfic) and pretty soon it was Up! It was Good! ;-)" on 19:28:24 07/20/14 Sun

You are talking to a date nut here. I found Maeve's March 2001, but didn't start posting right away. I believe that you, judi, and Cher started emailing each other around the time of Mutiny, and along with Brigitte, started the BAs with the Yahoo group opening in June 6, 2001, more than a month before I became a member, and in cyber time, a month is an eternity. I joined the BAs July 17, 2001. (I was number 17 to join.) That's when you and I started chatting. I sent Amelia-Rose a little polar bear, (I believe)some months later, and I sent Crossy's Camryn a bear too at the same time. I remember you giving Crossy advice on how to handle Camryn's first birthday party (very late Dec. 2001). You told her to give her a cake, and let her make a mess....lol.

I didn't start the HB. The original idea was Brigitte's when she visited judi Nov/2001. Judi opened it on Nov. 17, 2001 did with the help of all the BAs, and a number of long time posters followed us. I had no idea how to host a pic, or do a collage, or open boards. I figured all that out later on. Judi and Cher were the first moderators of the HB. I became a banana much later on with Crossy, you, and Dancer following in hot pursuit.

I have a weird exacting memory for when things happened re: BAs etc. If you want a more detailed trip down memory lane, email me and we'll have a good old chinwag.

Quite impressive with the dates and such!

Judi and I and Cher and a couple others started the BAs (Blue Angles, for those who don't know) as a Yahoo group first (if I recall correctly) and the idea for a separate board for Harm-lovers and those who wanted to go far beyond Maeve's PG rating was first germinated there. I suppose maybe I confused the BAs with the HB, but their formation tracks neck-and-neck!.

Many discussions and many nights on the old Yahoo Instant Messenger, and much hilarity and pathos was generated!

Cece, you and Judi became such close friends, that it was natural for you to be 2nd Banana, which made me 3rd and Dancer 4th. It's an honor I don't take for granted, ever!

As for Crossy, I think she's got that mom thing down pat now. Rarely ever a photo on FB that she doesn't have a drink in her hand, so that's gotta be the secret to her success! LOL ;-)
