Five years ago today my life hit such a low point that I ended up signing up for an account with the community support group known as b3ta
With the help of you good people I have managed to turn my life around and am now the success story you see standing before you today.
Thanks guys!!!
How has your life altered over the last five years?
Is it for the better, or the worse?
Share your misfortunes and all your internet chums will probably help.

Alt: Nakers didn't disappoint me last night with his descriptions of how he imagines various posters speak (see populol page).
Can you describe how you imagine the voices of those he left out?

Since then we've had calf 2, moved house and got old. In balance, life is better
