Welcome!!! Please read our community rules (not many, but alas they are necessary) right here!!

Also, because Livejournal is a sinking ship, we have started manning life boats over to Vintage Ads on Dream Width...DW is still invite free!! founded by LJ former employees and people are VALUED there and not treated like crap! :)

Well that's 13 uses...  I'm not sure I can think of 87 more.  Can you?

Since our contest starts June 1st, let's have our first story day Thursday May 31st and then we'll have day 2 on Friday June 8th, day 3 Saturday June 16th (and we'll go progressively one day further each week through the summer, that way people who only get online on certain days have an opportunity to join in the fun...).....

This of course will be our opening ad....So how shall our story start?? Please post opening sentence suggestions in the comments here, if you like a suggestion, comment and say so; and i'll post a list of them to vote on Monday and then post the winner Wednesday.....Thursday morning I'll post this ad with our winning sentence!

It doesn't have to be a complete sentence, it probably shouldn't be actually so the story can continue....yes, you can post more than one suggestion!! (ETA: i just posted 3 :)
