Is anybody here from the original newsgroup gang? It seemed so much like a
bunch of neighbours sitting around the kitchen table exchanging recipes and gossip. Anybody out there? I think I used to use "kangatoo" or some variation on that. Also "cassandraK" |

how many years back? I've been reading for quite a while and remember the
hilarious stories about Buffy and Shirley and their travels and travails and a silly dog that went with them. There was usually a good recipe at the end. J |

Oh, just any of the originals. Most of us quite liked the OT stuff which would eventually get back to cooking. One of the founders was the one who compared it to sitting around the kitchen table and trading recipes, tips and personal stories/gossip. We were all following one of the original post-er's and his wife as they went through her wait for a heart transplant, their joy when she got one and the heartbreak of her death when the heart was rejected. It was a small group then and we all felt we knew each other...some of them who lived in the same state used to get together in person (gasp!) at times. This would have been almost 10 years ago...95, 96, 97. Yeah, I know, all things change with time, I was just wondering if any of that group was still posting. |

I never EVER used HTML and I quickly learned how to quote, then no one really noticed much that I was a Webtv'er. Sigh...wicked step-mother stories ended when Dad passed away 2 years ago. Now I mostly lurk, post only occasionally. It's been 7 years....most of the questions have been answered, ad nauseum. But I have made wonderful friends that I try to see every few months, which is great! I check the ng more out of habit lately than out of interest. Damsel, SF, Miche and Curly Sue were all around when I started reading RFC. I remember the 2 Nancys (Young and Dooley), Sheldon...who could forget Joel Ehrlich? Steve Kramer, of course. Bob Young from Texas (whatever happened to him?) Ed Pawlowski was around back then, still is. Remember Sharon, who was a Personal Chef, I think she lived near Lancaster, PA? |
