Evo, you have a short memory (it matches our short bodies). Originally the sisters were just you and me. "Twins separated at birth". Remember? :biggrin:

Remember when you saw the license plate that read" PFSIS4U"?

I have been watching this thread with interest. More than just the the original sisterhood, recording the history of this forum seems to me critical. PF has become huge and someday perhaps famous.
Physicsforums was my very first experience with the internet. I've made dear friends here and learned so very much even if it wasn't exactly in mathematics. I learned a lot about rocket science. :biggrin:
Sure your newer sisterhood members should be welcomed and mentioned if it is some casual club. Make it known who wears a size 9 shoe. (I'm assuming these are very tall women.)
But these original sisters were woman who bonded together for friendship and support in a public arena that was dominated by men. This was very important for them to have each other.
I got my secondary degree (finally) in a male dominated field and I was asked to stop my studies and ostracized.
The point is, this original group should be recognized and kept in tact even if some of the members are no longer here. They were the mothers of this forum.

OK now, a lot of people take work shoes a little bigger. After all we live in them.

Ivan, that was the gayest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

Is this actually an all male forum, with cross-dressers pretending to be "Sisters"?

hmmm...

I hugged someone in real life, who claimed to be your wife, but she had all her clothes on, so I'm not really sure about anything anymore.

I'll top you, LisaB. I wear size 10 shoes. (Hope Evo let's me remain in the club.) I'm tall for a female-type person, though. :biggrin:

Yes, it's sad. I am a lurker. I got lucky and found myself a life! - with friends and family with faces and bodies and EVERYTHING! - no avatars! :biggrin: But i do miss all y'all - so I tho't I'd come back for a little while and see what's shakin'.

My favorite sister pix are the nuns with guns and that pic of all of us on vacation (I think that was our turbo RV trip?) at that bar with great barstools. My legs never looked so good. Do you still have that one? Post both of those if you have them. It's been so long, I don't even remember how to attach a pic... (my lame... :blushing:)

Ya know, I kinda like those cool red boots posted by Sister HeLiXe. If I had those, I could reach the kitchen sink faucet! :cool:
