Well, I sure miss the old gang. What has everyone been up to? Curt, boggie, pkb, duchess, bad kitty, knothead, timber, leftie, kiarasmamaw, somegirl, etc. I miss our daily interactions. Where is everyone hanging out now? Any good chats or boards you are visiting? I would like to hear from you guys. Maybe we could meet here one evening for a 'banned netwinner players reunion'. Bright Blessings All. and hagd! hippi

Hi hippi

Check out Becky's blog at comparerewards.com. I see the old gang over there all the time. Some of them at Pogo too.

Maybe the question isn't where have all the cool kids gone but what have all the uncool kids been up to since we last heard from them? - I hear from them all the time because they don't like this forum being here. They still try to sign up and pick on people for telling the truth about them. They still go after people on Becky's blog who stood up to them. Yelling about let it go. That shit kills me because they don't see the irony of it when they do that.

It doesn't occur to the netlosers either that fucking over thousands of people the way they did is going to stick to them awhile. A long while. More on that later in the Netwinner area of the forum.

Hello friends, it's been a looooong time since I've logged in. So much has happened...but first, I have to say thanks to hippi for including me in the list of "cool kids."

Yesterday I received a postcard in the mail from "WorldWinner.com" wanting me to sign up to play "Beat the Banker." Well now, who does that remind you of? Three guesses....and the first two.....anyway, that made me realize I haven't been here for many months, and it was high time to check in. (And I'm still Googling "WordWinner.com.")

Most of my absence can be explained with the following: I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2009. After a bunch of tests and a biopsy, I had a unilateral mastectomy in mid-June, and also had tissue expanders put in for breast reconstruction. Then in August we made weekly out-of-town trips to get saline 'fills' to expand the tissue - this process wasn't completed until Nov. 10. And now, I'm patiently (well, not so much) waiting for my exchange surgery, probably mid-March 2010, when the expander comes out and the permanent implant is put in. I was lucky that the cancer was caught very early and I didn't have to have chemo or radiation. So, that has been my life pretty much 75% or more of this year and I really never even thought about Netwinner or its scallywags during this time.

WHEW!!! Ladies, get your mammograms and pay no attention to the screwy new mammo recommendations!

My new hangout is Facebook -- please send me a message here if you want to be my FB friend! I was addicted to Farm Town (FB game), although I got a little burned out on it, so now I play Farkle and Bejeweled there. (Bejeweled is addicting!) I also have been hanging out at breastcancer.org, but as you might guess, this site has rather a rather limited focus. If you know anyone with breast cancer, though, I can very highly recommend the knowledge base and the community forum there. I have lost interest in Gather.com --- there is too much of an 'undercurrent' there for me, or was, about 4-5 months ago or so.

Hope everyone else is doing well!! would love to hear updates on y'all!
