Mediabistro founder, Laurel Touby pauses on the eve of the media site's 10th anniversary to take a long look back and nostalgically reflect on her ginormous $21 million windfall the vast number of life-altering moments and burning questions she's faced over the years.

Shall we add a job board or just have bulletin boards?
Do I work from home or raise capital so I can rent an office and hire people?
How do we ever get back to work after 9/11?
Charmin in the bathroom or the 100% recycled kind?

Decisions, decisions!! Meanwhile, Touby muses, "How could an innocent little cocktail party evolve into a web site and a business where hundreds of thousands of people find daily delight?" Oh, Laurel, if we knew the answer to that, we'd be out somewhere eating greasy food and talking about last night's boozefest strategizing at an important breakfast meeting with some hungover drinking buddies highly reputable business associates over a couple of Irish Coffees energy drinks.
