I'm not much for big drama when someone leaves a forum...yet I understand why folks want to have a final say.

WTF??

Well, I must have missed some of the unfluffy stuff lately-I am shocked at how many say they want to leave! But I respect their choices, even though I will miss them terribly. What would make me leave TDK? Nothing. End of story.
You have been so good to me, especially while my husband was so sick. I felt so supported and comforted during that stressful time, and I hope I can give some of that back when needed by others.Posted 3 years ago by rainingwolf #

I too don't have an inkling what has happened. I have been buried in my life lately, but still try to poke my head in occasionally.
I think the birthday threads were usually started by Renee and no one really took over after her sudden passing.
I feel a kinship with everyone here even though I don't chat much, like OW, I pray for those who ask and think of those who are down. I cry when you are crying and celebrate when you are happy.
Seeing some of the "oldtimers" leave the site saddens me, but like LV said, the site has evolved. I have been here for a long time too though not as vocal as some have been. I am glad that this site exists so I know I always have somewhere to go when I have a problem and there will be SOMEONE there to cry with me or pray for me or celebrate with me. Makes me feel not so alone in the world.
Love all of you guys

I have wonderful memories of our Chester. And Tinafish...I think what you did by stopping in to Chester's place was so incredibly heartwarming. To see something unfold That you, or others you know are part of the success of that...well, Chester/Jerry would be so Grateful for. Chester's Place stands for everything he believed.
{{{HUGS}}} for every one of you that needs one!!!

I miss a lot of those who don't post anymore, especially Instinct and Intuition - I spent many a happy few minutes debating wine and cheese and whack bonk sticks (and shillelaghs)with them. However, life goes on and if people don't want to be part of a forum any more that's their choice. Everyone moves on. Nowadays, I only know one person from my school days and no-one from my time at University, although I still keep in touch with 3 families from my time in Germany. People change and go different ways.
As for 50 - I decided before I got there that I would regard it as the beginning of middle age, as I am going to live to be at least 100! I MIGHT admit to getting on a bit by the time I reach 75! (Mind you, by then I'll probably be so forgetful that I will think I'm still only 55!)

Wow, I would like to still be here when I am 100! Do you think there will still be an internet?

I guess that makes me 3 in April .I remember Renee talking about changes in TDK and how some were for and some didn't much like them .I tend to glance at most titles and may only post on subjects that I have a little knowlage of with a warning that my knowlage can be wrong.I know it isn't as easy as a barber once told me [don't discuss sex ,politics ,or religion because someone somewhere will get offended] , not everyone sees or believes as you do and you never no when you cross a line.It is easier to step on toes by walking in the dark so If you don't ask question s,how will you learn.

Yes ,when you lose some one it is going to hurt and when some one tells you it will get better in time I don't think they really know how much you truly miss them

You said a mouthful Ron. If nothing else that is one thing I am learning. Once someone is gone there is nothing that can be done. I have learned the hard way--I pushed to get someone to see my point. Was it worth it? No. Who got hurt? Both of us. Arcalian has taught me that I need to learn from this. I have. In the end the pain doesn't go away even when taken care of privately. However when someone is GONE the pain in unreal and there is nothing that can bring that person back. We have lost members to tragic circumstances and I pray we all have the chance to meet them again someday. How will it feel that someone has left and peace wasn't made before they were permanently gone?

Good post Ron, and I hope you and your mother in law are well. Sometimes our mouths get away from us and others suffer. May those days be behind us. Much love to you and yours, Mama Lynn

Loretta was here today but we spent most all after noon getting her laptop hooked up. I was able to get it to hook up wirelessly to my system but I think the sales man sold her the wrong stuff to be able to get on to her friends home line Don't really know as much as I would like but I keep tring .Anyway that is why I was so late getting into the discussion

You are doing fine, Ron. Take your time and try to find the answer. You are such a good man to do this for her. Bless you.

You are one lucky man. The lady is aces in my book and you are one hell of a guy! Everyone knows a good person when they get one, Loretta found that in you as did your lovely wife. You are a wonderful man. Let no one take that from you. We admire you, at least I do, and bless you every day. You are special. Never forget that. mama Lynn

Yea!!!! Go Loretta!!!!...... What did you get her? ..... hopes some of that will rub off on Pat.... undercover opps are trying to undermind her "negative response".... Son (21) is working covertly to "help" her come into the 21st century!! It may be pulling her tooth and nail, but we're determined to do so!..... LOL
