Yep, it's our 5th anniversary today. Hard to believe! Plenty of bumps along the way, and there'll probably be more, but I think (hope) they're getting better.

Thanks to all of you who have hung in here the entire time. And to you newer folks, I hope you'll stick around until we hit another milestone.


Happy Anniversary, everyone.

THANK YOU MOONBEAM !!

A VERY Happy 5th Anniversary to "Your Money and More" (formerly known as "Not MSN Money")

I, like many others, have been here since day-one, and I was also fortunate to have been part of the "behind the scenes" team.

It is because of Moonbeam that this ever-growing community even got off the ground 5 years ago. She built this home for us when MSN was in the process of shutting down the last of their forums. And Virgil (our beloved code-monkey) is part of the glue that helps hold it all together. He's added many of the little perks this board has that others don't.

I think this board is successful for the most part though, because of the membership - some of us are tight, some of us bicker from time to time - but in the end, we're family - including the eccentric relatives.

[mmhmm]

Happy anniversary to the board and each of its members! It's been fun! We're a family here, even if we are dysfunctional. How boring would a functional family be? 

Thanks, especially, to moonbeam and virgil who keep things ticking along. Without them, our doors would squeak, our roof would leak, and the porch supports would rot away!

Way to go Moonbeam,  If it was not for you, I do know what I would do in the early hours when I can't sleep!

[NancysSummerSip]

I'll add one more to Sroo's list:

11. Many, many people have relatives crazier than mine.

We've been around only five years? How many is that in dog years?


Thanks, Moony!

Happy Anniversary!  Many thanks to Moonbeam and Virgil, and our hardworking Mods, for all their hard work.

[Blonde Granny]

I was part of the MSN days, but foiled in my attempt to have an easy transition to this new board, but I survived!

To all who have made this place so successful, offered their expertise in more topics that I can think of, it's a pleasure to have everyone here.

Here's to another 5 successful years

[GRG a/k/a goldenrulegirl]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting our little community started and for keeping us together for all of these years.  

Thank you.

[moon/Laura]

See now, when I start threads when I'm barely awake, I forget things that I meant to add..

Most importantly, the huge THANK YOU to the other staff members - past, present, and future. There's no way I could do this without you. You have all helped to make the forum successful.

[ken a.k.a OMK]

Thanks moon. It took me 4 days to get here.

Hi everyone! I feel like a long lost cousin coming back for the holidays.  I haven't lurked here in years and for some reason I just decided to visit today of all days. Happy 5th anniversary to you all! 

Boy, did I miss this place. 

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

Hi again, Empire the P.A. ! You were one of us who managed to squeeze onto the first mother ship when we were fleeing MSN forums just before they exploded into space. Welcome back.

It is an amazing coincidence you decided to pop your head back in the door today, of all days !

[Empire the P.A.]

Thanks S.L.!  This place kept me sane for some of my most difficult years. The fun people on this board kept me smiling on days that I needed it the most. So thank you all.

SUE!!!!!     About time you poked your head in! I've wondered how you were doing, hope all is well.

[Chocolate Lover]

Oh, and Happy Birthday to us!!!    Thanks Moon for putting up with us all these years!


Since we're five now, does this mean we have to start Kindergarten next year?! 

[Empire the P.A.]

Hi CL! I'm doing good. Still working but more at ease now that I hit my 20 years with the police dept. I can retire anytime and if it gets to be too much I have the option to which is nice. 
I'm going to try and be more social and thought this was a nice place to start. You are all so friendly here.

All except Archie. He's staying in preschool. Forever.

[Empire the P.A.]

Hi Moon. If I remember right, Archie was one of the highlights on this board. Great deal of fun or was it a great deal to make fun of? 

[Chocolate Lover]

Glad to hear it! I can't believe you have 20 in! Yay for being able to get the hell out of dodge when you are ready!

Wow and thanks, I know I post as much as I was at the start.  But I still lurk almost every day.
