One of my kids was starting to like "Deadliest Catch" & while searching stuff on the programme, we ended up in the MDS missing thread because of a link on Jake Anderson's dad.
The kids had to go play on the xbox instead that day, because they didn't get the laptop back. This caused quite a drama of course & I very quickly discovered mds mobile. Since that discovery I'm reading mds threads as frequently as I once read books. Which is a lot. It only took me a few days to discover the Morgan thread. That was the one that got me posting, I might've lurked for years if I hadn't seen the similarities to certain of my own family members in that thread.
So here I am & here I hope to stay. I wish I'd found mds on it's very first day, because I would've not only saved a fortune on books, but I'd have a hell of a lot more space in my house - which is overflowing with books on weird, obscure topics that will surely lead to raised eyebrows, if for any reason, a police officer ever enters my home. I could almost explain it away when I was at uni, but that was a long time ago, so the research excuse doesn't carry much weight these days. Oh well..
