People online are viewing 2016 like it was happy soft memories. I am here to go on record by saying that nothing defines a year anymore. Not political climates, not celeb deaths, not worldwide events, not internet trends, not personal lives of anyone, none of that.

Don't know just who you're referring to, I sure as heck don't have any "happy soft memories" of 2016! Any nostalgic happy memories I have go much farther back than that, and the farther, the better!

Like this site not like it used to be also? I just read that, but lost the thread. A few older members don't visit or post often. It's the same on the companion washer site. When they held wash-in's and vacuum meets, it seemed nicer. I watched my parents experience it too. They were avid collectable and antique affiicianado's. They bought and sold at better flea markets and had a booth in an antique mall. The clientele became critical of prices, and some were rude. My dad just told them then don't shop here. Eventually my mom lost any interest in anything and became reclusive. She had minor dementia. We held a 3 day estate sale after my dad passed. It did very well from what was in the basement which had been at the booth, etc.

I never said anything about the site in general.
 
The past is past. I don't dwell on it or pine for some gauzy "good ol' days". They weren't that good IMHO. All we can effect are today and the future so that is what I concern myself with. Learn from our past but you can never turn the clock back.
