[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 225387, member: 179"] Gosh, Fran...it's been awhile, eh? I remember the lengthy mod's debate about having the Watercooler. I'm glad it won out. Jenn - it was Mammabear who initially started the site. It was under a different name...don't remember anymore, but she was just a mom trying to find answers for her son. I stumbled across it trying to find the same thing. After a year or so I offered to redo the site as I was a web designer at that time. She was tired and agreed. Bought the domain name, etc. I haven't heard from her for many years. I hope she's lurking. I never knew her real name. I took over for X number of years, then felt the pressure of the daily things that go on with running the site. You have enough of your own family pressures, but when you toss in thousands of others...it wears you down. Somehow I convinced Fran to take it over. (tee hee..sorry, Fran.) One thing I will say is be so proud of Runawaybunny and Fran. It is SOOO much more work than it appears. Passwords don't work, people want posts deleted, legal things, advertising...the list goes on and on. All this goes on while you're trying to run your own life. If there is one thing you can do is use her sponsored links. That takes one thing off her list. It's an awesome community. I've met some of the best friends of my life, yet never 'really' met them. Some I have, but only a handful. Fran and I had a great crab leg dinner (remember that? board 'war' time), had the Vegas get together which I'll never forget. It is and always has been a safe place to land. Abbey [/QUOTE]
