Well. I did a search of her name and didn’t see bad results? What am I missing. Seems to be a theme for me tonight.

She had cancer but only a couple of Swampers stayed in touch with her IRL.

I feel like I saw her (or who I deduced to be her) as a suggested friend on FB rather recently.

I get worried when Bapo doesn't pop in. I also miss Howard, MaxWebster (though we email occasionally,) and I wonder what the hell Scottie's deal was and what's going in neck of the woods.

The Pennsylvania Bar directory has her listed as in-house counsel for a nationwide clothing retailer. Presumably she's focusing on employment law, as that was her primary focus in private practice.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

I'm not going to further the casting of the summoning spell, but I can't believe somebody typed a certain somebody's name up in here.

Yeah, I DM'd him the other day. He's doing pretty well, just started going back to work after putting himself in lockdown for COVID.

Hey, I'm just wondering for humanities sake. He was a complete and utter douche to a lot of people here and the Swamp in general, but I do appreciate that he helped me through some tough times during my divorce and all the depression that surrounded it...and also led me to call my wife later the same night as our first date, which evidently made some sort of good impression on her.

I think there was something chemical going on. Because when he wasn’t being evil, he was a good guy and a lot of fun.

Fuck Scottie. He was the reason several Swampers stayed away for a long time, including me. And his verbose screeds. He follows the rule of why use 15 words to say something when you can use 50.

Yeah, brainbo was a lot of fun. It's been a loooong time since she was on here though. I never knew her real name. I do occasionally Google for other missing Swampers to see what they're up to (yes, even him), but never really find anyone.
