    I'm going out on a limb here, certainly running the risk of looking awfully strange:D

    A recent search on Google (inadvertent) lead me to a post I made over on HNI back in 2007 about possibly moving once my then fiance (now wife) graduated college. Boy, a lot has changed since then, and I actually completely forgot about even considering that at one time. My curiosity got the best of me, and I searched around for a bit reading older posts I made and participated in throughout the years, and maybe it's because I'm so nostalgic, but it was pretty cool.

    Anyone else done this, or am I just weird?

    Every now and then I stumble on an old thread somehow that ultimately leads to me looking through my old posts. I agree, I think it's pretty cool. It's fun to see how much you and others can change in a short period of time.

    Guilty as charged.

    I also have a bad habit of reading some threads from back to front...strange. :)

    Routinely do it... not only can I relearn things I may or may not have forgotten but it's neat to relive some of that stuff. But your still weird. :alien:

    Hah.....I actually remember that thread because I told you to stay away from VT. I do it occasionally too......haven't in while but have definitely done it in the past.

    Nope. The only time I read an old thread is when some whacko brings it up from the bowels of the internet. Then I'm reading and thinking it's current junk. After a while I realize.... someone has messed with the system. LOL

    Ben and Rob, thanks guys:poke:

    Matt, I stayed away from VT (my wife was on a New England kick for a while until I convinced her otherwise). We may see a move still someday (depends on the job market for teachers here, land prices, gas industry, etc.), but we're happy where we are.
