Thanks Nature! It was pretty cool... and astounding! When her profile page came up in Google, I opened it and got to PsychCentral, I was confused at first because the old forum used to have the same color scheme that I see here. I almost thought I was brought back in time to the old forums (which today look totally different). Made my brain spin a bit before I realized it was this site, and hey! I'm a member of this site too!

I was really excited, until I saw that profile was from ~2004 or so. *argh*!

And, yup, the profile is still there even though she's not active, so I just sent a regular old PM. I included my name on the old forum and my new name here. I'm now thinking I should have included my email, so I might try sending another one, since she may not have access to this site anymore... I wasn't 100% sure it was her at first, but I was able to pull up some old posts, and I'm 100% sure now (same state, same age kids as when I knew her, husband has the same profession).

I didn't try FB... I don't actually have a FB account! It sort of scares me, and I don't know if she'd have anything up there under her old screen-name, since it isn't her real name (and I don't know her real name.... maybe her first name, but I can't remember for sure.)

No response still... so like I said, maybe it wasn't meant to be. I will keep hoping though!

Thanks.... thanks to everyone for listening, and sending me positive energy, and letting me blab on and on!
