I remember someone on not engaged yet with salt in her name kind of flaming me for daydreaming about how I'd like to have been proposed to, then I just moved over to MN and stayed there.

I think it was TK when someone's husband was posting and putting a bunch of girls down. I think her name was jan31bride or some sort of j month and numbers. Her H couldn't spell. Or had poor grammar or something.
I miss everyone from the BatCave, but that was mid-Nest for me. 208-2010.
Early nest was OctoberBrideGirl/OBG (now a terribly successful professor), and 2004Bride, and Kukie. My original bat cave. Still Facebook friends with all but 2006. And Bringthe Payne. You can't imagine my shock when I learned he was a man.
MissMod and her fiestaware. I have fiestaware now and think of her when I use it.
They used to open the nest with a prayer. Daily devotional. By a girl whose father was a pastor and who believed in submitting to her husband. FaithHopeLove I think was her name? Very nice girl though. I liked her. That was before the real snarkiness hit.
Jj was here from the beginning, and OBG and 2004 were my first friends.
I started posting back in the fall/winter of 2005. I mostly posted on my local but I also lurked and posted on ML a little too.
Many of my early memories are just impressions of people and the dynamic of the board. Stellas used to get teased pretty mercilessly (just the tip) but she was usually a good sport about it.
Everyone seemed to have huge elaborate wedding bios but I never bothered with one because I never posted/lurked on TK boards and was too lazy to compose one a year and a half post wedding.
Probably the earliest and most shocking event I remember is the death of Archr's H. I remember feeling so heartbroken for her.
I also remember KEW posting about her house as it was being built (that may have been on D&R though, I posted/lurked over there too) as well as the homes of posters who's names I've since forgotten. pagas
Loukia and her ridiculousness. I remember most of what's been posted in this thread. I started on P & E in like 2004? Mainly lurked, but slowly started posting. Not much, though.
my first ML memory was around halloween in 07 - Mod and LHC were in a huge feud. i don't think i ever knew what it was about. i do remember LHC's soft-core writing coming up, though. i had no idea people on the internet would be so personally invested in each other!
the first post i made was a "fav halloween candy" poll. that contribution went mostly unnoticed, which is for the best. that was back in the day of "YOU HAVE TO LURK BEFORE YOU CAN TALK TO US" and i just didn't have it in me at the time.
i vaugely remember my first flaming - i know several people were involved, but i got it the most from DotAndBuzz. i had a sig pic of me, smoking a cig on my front porch and everyone jumped my ass about how disgusting it was, and who the fuck was i to blow smoke in my yard when it could impact my neighbors' quality of life?! i took the pic down, and just don't talk about smoking anymore.
oh no! I don't remember that at all....I'm sorry!
Those were probably the days where I was going insane with both my apartment neighbors smoking 24/7 outside and I couldn't keep my windows open. I was a little ragey about that, and was much happier after we moved. I've got nothing but love for you now, promise!

I have one of Rhon's quilts. I love it--she did a great job.

My very first memory ever was that ProfessorArtNerd and OBG were super nice to me because I made fun of Thomas Kincaide in a post.
Then, like a week later, someone called Stumpy's work and put up all these pictures of her from her job's website and her real name. SO I NEVER POSTED MY FACE, NAME, LOCATION, OR KIDS' NAMES EVER EVER AGAIN.
It was an action-packed first month.
I seem to recall that we also bonded over Thomas Kincade hate.

OBG and fartnerd are the best.
I hate him a lot and recall that you do too, so I don't doubt it
I lurked on P&E for awhile and pretty quickly decided not to actually participate. I've talked about her here before, but I remember a regular named HelenaHandbasket who was pretty funny. Apparently there was a troll with almost the same name but I don't remember that one. I also remember a regular with cortney or Courtney in her name. She talked a lot about threesomes with her H and posted pictures of her showing "the shocker" in front of various landmarks. I think she got flamed once for the threesomes and using Klonopin once for fun. That's the earliest thing I remember.

I remember some girl named Archer who's husband died in a motorcycle wreck or something….and some girl that had triplets and lived near Atlanta KP4Belle or something??
I started posting on TK in 2004-2005 when we got engaged. Holy shit, that was a long time ago! My first memories are Scarletto (?) moving to Alaska, RachMatt in general and ChadnJared (??).
