Happy Birthday to PS.com!

Cannot believe it has been 7 years. Cannot even estimate how much I have learned over the years, and cannot imagine life today without you all.

Thank You PS.com!!!

Happy 7th Birthday PS.com. Seven years and great stats. That's a successful endeavor with great results. This site provides a great service to those that are in need of it. Thanks for providing it. I believe there are many more years to come.

Happy Birthday.

I've only had the privilege to be on here for almost two years and I am still trying to catch up with all the information from the last seven years. There is so much valuable info here that you don't/won't find anywhere else.

PS.com for an old walrus like me(just turned 74) is a life line to me........... To be able to read,comment,etc with people of "my own" who know what we've been thru..... This is why I wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night feeling for filled knowing I'm still in the picture of SF and what's happening today............ It's rather difficult to fully explain,I'm just glad to be one in the "QP brotherhood"...................
