re: 20 years on Tigerdroppings

I came here from Ken Ramsey about the same time, different user name back then. Seventeen years as Jeffsdad. As stated by others, to get the most recent news on world events this place is my go-to.

Tigerdroppings will have information on big-news world events at least a half day before the main news. Esp the details. If you want the latest on the Ukraine war, this is the best place, if there is a fire on a platform in the gulf, this is the place. The people on here are very diverse and some of them extremely intelligent in their field.

the responses here warm my heart, I didnt really intend to make a thread about me. I really wanted to make a thread about us.


Over 20 years life has dealt us all some ups and downs, but through it all time marches on. in some ways as this place became more and more ingrained in my life I realized how much the site marks the time in my life

just like that, another trip around the sun

quote:

---

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

I am 52 and I see my parents in the last phase of their lives and it makes me think how fleeting life really is. My grandparents are one generation from me and I remember them, but my great grandparents are not even a memory. It is almost like they didnt really exist besides having kids that had kids that had me. My grandparents dont really exist to my kids besides pictures and a few stories.

One day I will be gone and what I find very interesting is as long as this site exists and remains accessible, anyone can find my words and read my thoughts on things for 20 years. Perhaps my great grandkids will one day look me up on the tigerdroppings archive and read my words. You couldnt pay me to journal about myself, but I literally have a living journal on a lot of what is happening in the world right here on this website.

day after day
year after year

that is way more than just a message board my friends

Almost exactly how I sign on, but in Sept 2003. In early 04 Chicken changed something, we had to register something (maybe emails) so I changed my name 1/12/04 and complied to the lead yard hen's demands.
