She is the OP of this thread! I was just clarifying that for someone. It is funny that they didn't realize it was her though.

Ok, I do not remember as much as some of y'all. I can't even remember my names, but on that matter I can never remember my password to here if I should happen to get logged off.

I'm impressed with everyone's memories for the screen names. Some of the stories I do remember...especially the guy who only liked Asian women because they knew how to be "wives" unlike American women. Ick.
Wasn't there a guy something like IPAFan who had about 4 kids and a wife who would never leave them with anyone else so they could have a date night.

Also, when are we going to add TheHaitian to the missing list? He's dropped off the face in the last few weeks.

Isn't it about time for that new baby to arrive? He might just be suffering from lack of sleep.

I remember joining the old MSN group after lurking for awhile, but I couldn't tell you what year. Mid to late 2000's, probably. DH & I had a LOT of credit card debt, due in part to DS's disability. (Copays were killing our budget, as DS had therapy so many times each week. So, we did as a lot of folks did, & put that mess onto our credit card. At one point, DS had therapy 6-7 days each week, sometimes in multiple areas, like speech & OT. And each time, for each type of therapy, we got hit for copays.) Then, both DH & I worked for different companies that filed for bankruptcy, lost our jobs, etc. so climbing back out of debt was a long process. I'd first checked out the MSN boards looking for fresh ideas to get rid of debt, liked the advice and the people, so I stuck around. We paid off the last of it in 2011, & I'm still hanging around.

There used to be a lady on the old MSN boards who had this saying quite famous on the board: "You can move the shit around in the yard but its still shit and you'd still be waddling in it" and " Your suggestions will be valued directly in proportion to your contributions". LOVED the quotes!! I filed them in my Quotable Quotes folder for use I think it was a "kamaora" or something but I can't remember. OMG, how I wish I remembered that one - I could have used it on my IL's so so so many times!

Elusions is still around on FB - doing pretty well. The woman in poverty with the cowboy husband worried me too.
The one that still makes me smile is when SWSNBN challenged someone toma drag race but my memory fails me - who was it?

And SWSNBN was planning to race in her lifted Excursion or something equally craptastically ridiculous. It was an awesome mental image.

Who was the poster with the husband spending several hundred dollars a month in fast food causing the household to be in the red every month? I remember YM posters ripping her a new one because he was "the man" of the house and if he wanted to spend that much money on fast food it was his business and she needed to quit nagging him. I wonder if she got him to get on board with the budget or if he ended up dying from a heart attack due to his diet. Then anyone else remember Sam Jones and his regular speeches about how women should be banned from going to college/getting jobs because we are taking them away from the men? We all know that we will quit working as soon as we have children, it's biology. Our jobs should be going to hard working men who plan to stay in the workforce.

I've actually been reading and following since early 2000. I was drowning in debt and wanted to turn my finances around.
Was never a big poster, just a serious lurker (I just had to look up if that was an actual word! . Anyway, throughout ALL those years, the sites were sometimes blocked completely but mostly I could read but not able to post. ah, gotta love the IT department. So yea, only took the time to peruse while at work. In my working life, I'm on a computer ALL day. I don't like to have anything to do with them when I get home.
This group and its many regulars have actually been a great help in my financial life. I think I'm around $400k net worth now.

There was RoadToRiches too...what an inspiration his story was! From being in debt, to bucking down and paying every owed penny to actually building wealth.
He was here for a while, but stopped posting.

We were on a little British politics and news site called MSNUK. (I still have some of these posters on FB) We were, however, aware of other MSN sites.... and occasionally used to pop over to MSNBC Some people used to go to see a friendly American poster they called "Ghosty" and some Americans used to come to post with us for a while....notably an intelligent woman who was some sort of wiccan. (avoiding a troll) When MSNBC closed we got to know some more people. A really entertaining story teller who claimed to be Swedish. Prince of darkness. mmhmm was there and moonbeam Flying Horse, of course...Everyone loved her. The US poster I miss most is... Shirina......She was just awesome. Such a way with words. We are all over the place now.

and wanted an Asian woman because they are subservient. Or so he thought. From what I've seen they are. Not that every guy who marries one is looking for that, but that seems to be the way it is. As a rule of thumb, obviously there are exceptions to every rule. From what I've seen, they are not at all...at least not beyond the dating stage.

Speaking of marrying Asian women - what about BeeinKC - he married one, but then he was so so miserable. She didn't work, he did and did all the kid /house stuff!
