I heard about teh GOS at /. within a month of getting crappy broadband in 2008. I lurked there about six months before I had a decent idea for a diary. It had a mistake but I don't regret it.

I've lurked both here and there for a few days and only registered here.

I care for my mother and she is in mid to late stage Alzheimer's. Eight to ten years depending on who is counting.
