It was quite easy to know when I got on this list because it was shortly after I got on the Internet. In early 1995I did not even know a single thing about the Internet. Then I signed up but ended up being in the hospital for two weeks with my shunt surgeries. I remember thinking, lying there in the hospital, that I had just signed up for the Internet and was paying for it but could not use it or learn how to use it!
I usually can keep track of things (anything) by where I was or who I was with at the time something happened or occurred. Or categories. Like I can remember certain things that were pre-my ex significant other. Or when I was with him. Or where we lived. And then after I split up with him and what I was doing in the interim between breaking up with him and marrying my current husband. And what I have done and where I have lived since our marriage over the last 10 years. Kind of like "where I was" and "who I was with" when this or that happened.
