My memories of Chicken Smoothie...
Well, I don't remember how I ended up here, but I can tell you exactly when--because I adopted ONE pet. I saved the code in my LiveJournal profile page, promptly forgot about it, then saw (months later) that it had changed from a blanketed pup into a beautiful black-eyed dog.

(I still can't believe that one and only August '08 adoption was a BE Galaxy. Gambit is my darling, my first CS pet, and I'm so very glad I made it back to the site in time to claim him under my account!)
Since that time, I've continued on the site more or less as a lurker--I work full-time, and I'm married with two children, so there's not a lot of free time to spend on my pets. On the bright side, though, my two kids love CS enough that I helped them make their own account, and we ooh and ahh and get jealous over each others adoptions. I really enjoy that CS provides something offbeat for us to do together. (Oh my gosh, do they ever LOVE watching the outcomes appear! Maybe even more than me.

)
As far as any bad memories, I don't really have any. Aside from VERY infrequent encounters with rude traders, my time here is almost 100% fantastic.
