I hope 'IF' this day finds you definitely twisted That your bends and turns at lease had a few Good stomach laughs & spins from within.

What I used to call "losing my stomach" Yesterday (the 22nd) was 2 years here at fubar, Talk about twist and turns ...

I bumped into this site by accident: I'd been logging on daily to a "dating" site called OkCupid for about two years when an on-line friend sent me a link to a site "Hot -or- Not" to rate her picture there. I stuck around that site most of the day (Checking out the "hotties") I made a profile uploaded a couple of pictures there to get "rated" too ... Just finished up and notice a banner ad for a place called:

And the rest is history ...

I've mention to anyone who listen ... About how much work & growth I witnessed here on the site. Back when there wasn't a shoutbox to bitch about or: mumms, blogs, happy hour spotlight gifts & etc ... We had Picture & profiles to rate Profile comments & saying "HI" to all newbs Was the only way to advance up. We all raced to "POP" peoples profile & picture cherries. We also really kept the site fun & friendly. ugh - Then around 50,000 is when drama & the fakes started to pull people in smaller groups and away from the ONE hugh family we all had become. That's when the bulletins went south ... And the self promoting and back stabbing started. Although I almost deleted once I learned to quit fighting the twist and turns - Heck allow them to happen and sit back and watch, It's better than anything I caught on TV ... Just dance to your own beat & not make such a big deal outta the stuff That really doesn't effect you ...

Dance slow or fast, but keep the music inside your head to the tune that keeps you the happiest.

(thank you Cindy for the nice graphic) I wouldn't be here two years if I danced every song played, I select what I like & kept it fun. Everyone has different ways (twist & turns) That they enjoy ... It's a GAME here people. Some people are in only to win, some want to do it just for something to do ... Some like to sit and spectate, Or just help others win. So just because you 'play' and don't get to perks that others do It doesn't mean you have to be mad or upset when someone succeeds at something and you didn't even want to try. I've played all kinds of ways here. My first 8 months here I was on dial up, so points was hard to come by ... And I watched people join & move up the ranking ... I wasn't here to do that ... THEN (lol) Nah, I've gone threw times I wanted to level & would try various things to play "that" part of the game here - -but I found it not as fun as just making friends- So, I'm not in the race ... I'll be coming around the turn at the turtle pace ... But I enjoyed my twisted game here, I thank Mike & Ryan & the crew for letting me enjoy those "rabbits" race ahead of me & my turtle pace I elected to play at.

Pretty easy one for you today: When Did You Join

I could follow that up with: Is it better or worse?

IDK The original comment that today's actually derived from Actually was from two years ago ... I added some twist and turns

To bring up to date ... In closing today ... I did want to say "Thank YOU" my friends, even though I haven't been playing the twisted game here to win ... I feel I still come out the "winner" See, I met YOU which makes those crazy turns and twisted things that happened In my two years here ... The best part of this twisted ride/game :) Here's my twisted greeting:
