I'm going to use this thread for its intended use right now. LOL.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank some people on this board who have become near and dear to my heart. All of these members I've talked to (some more than others) off the board and they've all exhibited qualities to me that make them stand out and who deserve some recognition:
The End aka NPM, Jaisee (I'm so happy you're posting again!!), Tarshi, GG, Smooth, Petty, FG, Espy, Christine.
I consider all of you my friends. You have consistently offered me support, words of encouragement and kindness, an ear to listen to me, the ability to make me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry, intellectual stimulation, generosity, and keeping me in check when I need it. I may know some of you better than others, but all of your contributions to my life are noteworthy.
I'm glad to have such an amazing group of people to call my friends, and I can't thank you enough for all you have done for me, whether you realize it or not.
To the rest, I may not know you off the board, but you all contribute to my life in positive ways by making this forum so fun to log into most days.
Thanks to all for all that you do and for being such an amazing group of people. We are all truly blessed to be a part of this online family. I know I feel blessed.
Bookie- that's really heart-touching:smt060, thank you. You are one of the pillars here. You are neutral, very kind and always fair and patient. You surprise me sometimes with your openess- maybe I am wrong, but when I was here the first time, I had the impression that everything was very hidden and anonymous. But then suddenly the people became familiar, friends, a community.
Even that I am not on the board so many times anymore, I try to keep an eye on you, how you are doing. See me a little bit as a person in the background, even if you don't hear me often, I am still there...:smt052
