I first posted here after being at DL on the 17th and having a scary experience on MS after the fireworks due to a lack of enough security...I know other social media has become a part of my life, but I will always love and be a part of Laughing Place.

It's true Laughingplace Community has changed over the years, but it still holds a dear place in my heart.
