10 years?!
 

I just realized I've been on The Ledge for 10 years this month. God, I'm getting old. Haha!

Happy Anniversary baby.

I know! Louie and I are both comin' up on our "decade" anniversary. I can't believe it.;)

I passed 10 years a few months ago. I can't believe I was 16 when I joined, and now I'm well into my 20's. God, I hate being old. :mad:

26?

...


baby!

Will be...
 

ten years in June for me.

I know there's several who have been around longer than those of us approaching the 10 year mark.

Isn't it interesting to think how far we've all come personally since joining? I was an 18 year old college freshman, still very much a naive kid. And on the Mac front, Trouble in Shangri La, Say You Will, In The Meantime, Under The Skin, and Gift Of Screws had all yet to be released :).

I say we all post pics of when we joined vs what we look like now... should be entertaining! :D

Here I am in early '01 (bad, BAD hair and clothes!!!)

Here I am now:

Now it's everyone else's turn who's a 10 year veteran! :D And share what you were up to back then, and where you are now! :nod:

Perhaps - but an AWESOME car!!

I've only been on here just over 2 years although I've been a Mac fan for about 10 or so. 10 years ago I was 18 and I had just started uni and was living in halls... Oh man, 10 years ago?? What?!

I cant decide if that first pic is a bowl cut or not. Thoughts?;) Btw, you could be wearing a meat suit with Lions after you and I'd still think you were hot!

congrats, maria! you made it alive :laugh:

That's crazy you guys have been here for 10 years. Me, I'll be approaching my year anniversary in 4 months and unfortunately, I haven't changed much since then (still short and mistakened for a high schooler, but I'm gonna be legal in August!)

Ahh what 10 years has done... I remember how jazzed I was for TISL... now we're getting Stevie's new album. :cool:

Like a fine wine you have greatly improved with age. I'm sure Shane would agree.

I'm working on year 8, although I lurked here for some time, before joining....

I would post a pic of me now, but not then(about 80 lbs difference).

I officially joined six years ago, lurked for about 2. But when I try to find a picture of me in 2005, I come up blank. I can't figure out what the heck I was doing then.

For me, I don't think I owned a digital camera, or a cell phone with camera, until probably 2005 or so. And I've always had bad scanner luck...

I now date every pic on my computer, with at least the month/year....

Wow, to find a pic from 2001... I was a mother to a toddler then! I'm sure all my pictures around that time look like hell! I'll have to find one tomorrow and post it.

2001, wow!
I had just started school... and not high school for that matter!

It's been seven years now for me. :shocked:

For kicks, I just checked out the "Ledgie with the most posts" list, and dissention is still the top poster, even though he hasn't been here in four or five years. :laugh:

How do you check that? Could be interesting.

Go to members list, and then click on posts. :)

:lol:


You know, when he first joined I actually thought he was a middle aged woman. There was something about his posting style, I guess. :o

I still miss his deliciously bitchy posts...

Wow, I'm #28. I doubt I'll ever hit those 20K+ numbers!

Lessee, if I've been here 8 years, I'll hit those numbers, if The Ledge is still going, in 24 more years!:lol:

Jerry!!!!:D

Lmfao Steve you look the same!

So that's what happened to Uncle Jerry :lol:! (not mine, the famous one)

Thank you, Michelle...actually, I don't, though...there's WAY more "salt" than "pepper" in the hair & beard...there's less hair, but I'm disguising that fact by growing more forehead. And, I'm about 80 lbs heavier in the newer photograph. (it DOES look kind of weird that I'm not playing the Turner, though)

(Speaking of which, I'm using that latest photo as a "before" photo...it's "get serious with the diet" time...well, once I finish off the annual procurement of Girl Scout Cookies, that is. Can't resist those "Lemonades".:laugh:)

Oh yes, Samoas over here. They haven't arrived yet, but I'm waiting.

Sara and I then:

Sara and I now:

didnt they change the name of those for PC reasons? :laugh:

Wow, she's all grown up! Y'all both have beautiful eyes! :nod:

Thanks, Louie. And I know... :distress: I wish I could still pick her up and hold her sometimes. Blows my mind she'll be 13 this year. God help me.

sara you look great (better) 10 years later! :D

13 1/2 years for me. Its been 13 1/2 years since "The Dance" first aired on MTV. How time flies. Sigh.

Nice pics, Maria! You all just seem so perfect.

You're very lucky.

You do know that that's the daughter, right?:lol:

haha, whoops! I meant the mama! I am terrible with people's names... just assumed sara was her name since it's her user name ;)

LMAO! I've been called Sara on here for years... I knew where you were going.

Holy Crap, I just checked my join date and its June 2001 so it'll be 10 years for me in a few months.
