Not Bean lol. those of us from the old guard are popping up 🖤

To say that I woke up to shocking news, yesterday, is an understatement. If it wasn’t for the creation of this board, I would never have met any of you. I would never have fallen in love with my husband, and I never would’ve moved to Detroit. It’s a lot to process. I just don’t know what to say… he literally, inadvertently, had damn near everything to do with my life being as awesome as it actually is. I have my own feelings and opinions, and I guess it’s something I sort of have to process on my own. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I realize that this is a somber time, but I just got notification that I have achieved rookie status. For those of you that don’t know me, I was one of the highest posters, back in the day. Phee, a guy called Paper Hearts, and I were out of control. I was also a Sr Mod. so seeing that I got the rookie badge just cracks me up. But back in the day, we were fucking legends 🖤

You guys. WTF IS A “REACTING WELL” BADGE. 😂☠️

hey bean!... i mean, not_bean!

I’m telling you, not that this is the way that I’d like to see some of the old crew, but it is refreshing to see some people that I haven’t in quite some time

Grr, I wish I was.

If anyone is near Jackson, MI and wants/needs an in person conversation, I’m game. Just give me a day to make plans and inform housemates ♥️

Thank you! Current location? MI Where from? MI Gender? Female Work? Yep School? Finished grad school in 2013 Kids? 1 step Married? Yep Single? Nope Hobbies? Writing, cat herding, watching movies, reading, hermiting, etc How Did You Find / hear about DGN? I originally joined in 2005 and was active for many years. And then I wasn't. How did you pick your DGN name? My name was Bean on here, but I forgot my password and no longer have the email I used to create my og account. Other Stuff?

Never bean. Unless you're adding hot water to said bean. Then always bean.

To Bean, or not to Bean...

It is for this very reason I messaged Paul to get all 3 of you in the same room again. Just once. I literally don’t think it’s happened since … well since you came from Maryland, everyone that came out to city or the BBQ .. Time really does fly.

I created a GoFundMe for Troy's mom. Please, if you can't donate... share it. The more we receive for her, the better. I know there may be an in-person fundraiser as well, but this is more immediate and can reach other people quickly. https://gofund.me/d2485346

I'm loving it!

Thank you. I appreciate the offer, but I'll keep things as is. I'm no longer the same person as I was with the previous account. Fresh starts are good 😊

🫂🫂🫂 welcome back

FYI I'm in Wyandotte on Biddle so feel free to come by. I'll try to get my apartment in order but I don't even care right now.

Anyone want to get coffee or come over and just sit outside with me? Or anything?

@Not_Bean Well then I suppose this is a Welcome Back. If you want, I can merge your old account and your new one. You can decide which you want to be your main account. Just let me know.

Welcome to our home 🙂

In memory of my friend.

I was always told they and arab weddings are crazy I wasn't expecting it to be but I was hoping. And the party has kicked back up, holy shit its crazy

just heard myself - so sad. does anyone have any details? i don't want to pry, but i hadn't heard anything about him or his health in ages. he will be missed.

Down to the fucking ground. It's a strange feeling. So many memories. People I became friends with, some I'm still friends with, some long gone on separate paths. I cherish it all.

Phee was kind enough to let me know last night and Bean let me know this morning. Definitely in shock. Definitely in mourning in my own way - as I am sure we all are. It’s odd - how many connections that I have made in my life related to just this site. Without Troy there would be no Keegan, no Apollo, no Lumen - no me really, at least not as I am now. I would not be bound to Michigan- I would definitely be somewhere else, which means not the life I have now - I would not be the person I am today. I would not have two of the best friends for almost two decades of my existence, that I know would “burn it down to the fucking ground” with me ❤️ And though Troy and I only talked once in a while over the last few years, his mark is absolutely undeniable in my life. I wish I could have told him… I hope he found peace. I think every single one of us has been there. Please do let us know when a service or gathering is planned. I don’t do funerals . But I would like to visit if he is buried and pay my respects privately. Love to all the other elder DGNers out there that don’t frequent here anymore while they also mourn. At least most of you anyway. It’s a bizarre feeling. If you need a shoulder, are feeling particularly shitty and just need someone to listen - shoot me a message. Life is too fucking short to bare that shit alone …
