I would edit your post, but it still wouldn't make enough sense.

A year ago it was the day after my wedding anniversary.
Nothing changes.

We plan to have many more. In the short term, we'll be especially affectionate tonight which will help build our appetites for a nice dinner this coming Saturday....too busy/complicated to go out to dinner tonight so we'd rather not rush it.

A year ago I was knee-deep in a research paper on two problems: Paolo Freire's "banking" concept of education and Michel Foucault's examination of surveillance as applied to the classroom, with one answer--the Montessori Method. That was fun.

A year ago, I was working hard at finishing school, specifically my big research paper.
I should have stayed for that last quarter.

With the advanced search, you can also find posts by username. At the bottom there is an option to find posts by switching to: 'A year ago & older.' A year ago today, there was a day after tommorow. |

thank you for trying, dear ring dear ring dear ring...has such a ring to it
But anyway, I searched several of the enduring threads here and could find no posts dated 2-23-2008. I can only assume that aliens invaded Planet Earth that day and stole our posts...dem dirty rat aliens! For example, you don't think uncle phil would have dropped this date, and immediately thereafter...do you? |

A year ago today, a certain nonsense thread was jonesing for Catfish on a Hot Tin Griddle. (Perhaps with some Blanched Stella and a nice white whine.)
And the word of the day was Squirrel. / And the capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln!

Thanks for the reminder, unc. For a minute there I though I might find the Lost Time but alas, the wayback machine didn't show any recent pages within the last couple years So aliens are still the best likelihood.

A year ago I was here. Now I'm not any more. But that's neither here nor there.
