Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap
I just made an supah-coo' discovery ('least to me)! One of my old websites -- that I thought was gone forever when go.com went belly-up -- is still partially located at its first home on GeoCities. Yeah, I know that by linking another Geo address here I'm going to run the risk of everyone seeing the blasted "exceeded bandwidth" errors again...but hey, this was my "blog" before I had a blog...

Every few weeks I'd go off ranting about something like my former church, people that abandon their pets during natural disasters, and really bad web design (keep in mind that one was written in July of '98). There's even a tribute to Todd and Susan's grandmother that I thought was lost forever. Because I moved to go.com after the 8th edition, some of my Soapboxes are still in the cyberspace vacuum. But I'll take what I can get! I was so.....young.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



Loved the tribute and the poem attached at the end.

Agghh!! Background music on the "really bad web design" page ;) You're lucky I trust you, or I might have closed that page and hated you forever for doing such a thing to me :) Oh yeah, I also found the stop button after a few seconds, too ...

Did you try looking at the Way Back Machine - you know, the Internet archive site - for your old posts? (www.archive.org) They might be there - never know what you might find!

That box of soap looks like the box I always tried to make when I packaged cold processed soap. Mine of course never looked that good...

Yeah -- I always try the Way Back Machine first. But no dice. Before go.com became go.com, it was wbs.net -- so it was going waaaaaaaay back. ;-)

I remember the Soapbox! You're a woman ahead of your time. If only MT was around back then!!!

OH! I remember wbs.net! I didn't know that they became go.com. Dude! Get out! (That's my word today, by the way. Feel special.)
