So I just took a look and I've been a member here since 2006!!!  That's 7 full years! 

So I'd love to see what kind of milestones others have reached!!!  Who has been a member for the most amount of time. This includes moderators and administrators!!  Just a fun interesting topic!  G.

I think spring in 2008. I recommend this site to anyone of my friends who are reaching the bad stages of CKD and try to share what I have learned here with others.

LOL Bill... I seem to remember differences in opinion with you and Mitch and the whole buying and selling organs topic. I believe I'm correct on that. THX. G.

What do you mean the last of the first?


BTW I just noticed that in your picture on the sidebar - your avatar pic - it looks like you have a hi-top fade, is that intentional? It's a good look  :lol;

A lot has changed since this time, unfortunately not for the better healthwise. As the doctors told us, it's not a cure, just another form of treatment which keeps me focused on that it is better than dialysis. That or I'm just used to health issues since being a kid and I'm a little  :urcrazy;   ;D    Date Registered:  October 04, 2007, 09:18:13 PM

Thank God for IHD.com members and family.

Agreed!!  So many great people have made this a great place to come learn, rant and be with others who understand. I'm so happy I found IHD way back in 2005. I left for awhile but always checked in. It's been a life saver to be back. It's great to see so many regulars here. Usually these boards come and go its a credit to the administrators and long term members that its still going strong for so many years!!
