Almost to 1000 again, FINALLY. Ask me anything ...
except what I changed my username to during the amnesty.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Hi Neighbor! 
I'm a native. I spent a year in PA about 25 years ago and it was culture shock!
When I took a sociology class in 9th grade, though, I thought it made sense. If they had been recruiting 13-year-olds I would have probably signed up. 
Y'all would be invited if it were to happen, though.
And of course if someone wants to throw me a surprise party at any venue for which I am not responsible, I could be persuaded to show up.
I had to get a new DU account earlier this month. I had not written down my password from the previous year when DU prompted my to change it. Unfortunately I can't remember for sure what it was, and I no longer have the email account that my old DU account was registered under, so I couldn't send myself a message to change my password. 
So, I lost my post count, which was @ 440 something 
, because of having to open a new DU account.
I tried emailing Skinner after I had gotten my post account high enough under my new DU username. He said he would send me an email prompting me to create a new password for the old username account.
I did send him my new email addy, but I guess he has been busy for the holidays, because I haven't received any email from him to fix this. 
(my old username is luv_mykatz).
Maybe sometime down the road it will get taken care of?
And, howdy from another native PDXer.
Seems like life is not a bowl of cherries, after all, it is a book of passwords. Congratulations on your post count, too! Starting at zero is painful.
