Thank you for posting, Myth. I am on day 46 today so it is difficult to comprehend what 5 years looks like. I hadn't even thought about it until I read your post - but it forced me to (think about it) and I liked how it felt. It has made me hopeful that I can get there too.

It's my honor and privilege, Erratic! I have received ten times as much as I've given so it's good to help in any way I can.

I remember you from my earliest days on SR -- your posts helped me.

It is good to share these milestones. Look forward to congratulating you on the 6th anniversary!

Six years will be cool! Except I'll be a year older!

Yeah, us! I remember well you and a few others that all started right around the same time. Not everyone is still around but I wish them well wherever they are. I hope life is better for you than it was in October 2012 and may it be better still in October 2022!
