    I've just had my "Garden Stew is 8ys old" patch :D and wondered if anyone has been here since the very beginning-apart from the founder/owner whom I think must be Frank?

    I think the "Patch Bot" has a headache because he just gave me a cute lil patch for being here for 8 years.

    No wait, looking at my join date maybe he has something bigger than a headache.... maybe it's something like a brain clot.... I am only here for 14 months, not 8 years.....

    Frank, you better go get the cute lil Bot some aspirins. You better make it a whole bottle of them. :rofl:

    As Frank said I was here from the very start. I have to admit that it doesn't feel like I've been here for eight years though. :-D

    Three cheers for the Stew, new and old, we carry on a tradition thousands of years old of getting our hands dirty and loving it. Onward to year nine. :)

    We didn't have the internet until a few years ago. So I can't claim to having the honor. I have enjoyed the time I have had here though.

    I joined nearly 4 years ago and didn't have a computer at home for the first couple of years, so I only checked in at work. But since then, I bet I haven't missed a day here (except for a couple short vacations).
    Happy Birthday Garden Stew! :stew1:
