   Dear TDK family,
   I am so glad to have found you by "accident". I lurked for a few months before officially signing up. Boy am I glad I did. You are all such wonderful, loving, special people! You help me get thru the day when I am down, make me laugh, share a cry with me! I am amazed how people who have never met me in person sent me cards after my surgery. That just goes to show what special people each one of you are! Of course it is fun to share stories of our furbabies when they do something silly. I think the passing of our special family members has made me want each one of you to know you are each special to me. Even if you are only lurking, you are loved and cared about as well! Please join me in a big TDK hug to help us thru another difficult time! ((((((((((TDK))))))))))
   Lots of Love,
   Amy aka MC, Betty, Wilma and Molly

   Please tell me and your family about your feelings on TDK below, I would love to hear about it!

   MC, you have to know how caring we are about each other. I wish I had more time to tell each and everyone how very happy I am to have found this site! I am always referring to something I've read or heard on here and when I mention something that's happened to someone, friends wonder why I am so close to people I've never met.
   I have to leave work now, but I'll check back tomorrow for everyone's comments.

   I'm getting ready to leave, but TDK holds a very special place in my heart. I've been here for quite a while, have seen people come and go and have seen many totally adorable kittens! I've enjoyed swapping recipes and stories, as well as laughing and crying together. What I didn't expect back then was to form such a bond that upon the death of a TDK poster, it would hit me so darn hard.
   Love Joan

   I came to TDK via a link a friend sent years ago. TDK was new and the kittens would get a few comments.
   There was as of then no TDK chat. More and more eventually commented and KM created the TDK chat so kitten comments would be just that.
   It has evolved into a nice, safe place to find comfort and guidance.
   Friends here span the globe and if only we could all meet in person! What a party that would be. :)

   Back when I was pretty new here, I wrote about this very topic. Here's that thread:

   http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3398

   Since then I have only become more and more convinced that TDK is a very special place. I'm not a chat room person and always kind of scoffed at that. Until I found TDK :-)

   Looking at that thread made me a little sad, there are some people who used to be a part of the family that have gone away for various reasons. I still miss Miu and Marina. I have been around since the early days and have seen the family grow and squabble and tease and love. I've seen us form so many friendships and form bonds that transcend the medium of a chat room. I'm grateful to KM for creating this little corner of cyber space and I am grateful for you all and what you bring to my life. I am blessed to have talked to some of you on the phone, via personal emails and in person. Losing our loved ones: Jerry/Chester, Cindy/Renee, Ben, Sharon and Terri brings it home to me how special this place really is.

   I found TDK helping my youngest son research a history assignment on Imhotep. Apparently there had been a kitty on TDK by that name. I guess it was meant to be.
   Had never belonged to any other chat site and I'm alsmost sure I never will.

   I have been thinking all day how the sudden unexpected deaths of on line friends could hit me so hard. It is truly amazing how good hearts can be felt even in cyber miles.
   Thanks for starting this MC. I feel the same way. Thanks TDK family for allowing me to join in.

   This was the first internet site I was brave enough to join...... I lurked for quite a while, and then joined a year or so ago..... I have come to think of you all as "family", and I truly thank God each and every day for you. I love how we pray for each other, support each other, and geninually care for each other....I am determined to meet as many of you in person that I can in the coming year...... I grieve with everyone for those we've lost, some I got to know, some I didn't..... I also grieve for those that have left, I miss them too......I feel blessed to be a part of such a loving group!

    I found TDK thanks to Fark.com - they had a cute kitten article that led me to TDK. Best thing on the net!!!! I feel like I found long-lost relatives here, thank you all for being there.

    I lurked for a very long time before I got the courage to post. My nephew's wife sent me the link years ago. That was back when only a few comments were made. It was before I had kitties! Me without kits! I can't imagine it. So Tammy gets a big hug for sending me to you. All of you are so important to me. An example is just this past weekend when I could not log on. I was watching those babies cross over the bridge and it was so hard. I needed support and hugs and I could not reach you folks! I was almost panicked. I don't think I realized how important you all are to me. I too, miss those who have gone on and those who have left. I miss them all. You are all special. Thanks for embracing me with care, love, purrs, hugs and kind thoughts. I am so thankful for each and every one of you. I am blessed beyond measure! Hugs!

    PT, I know how you feel! I wanted so bad to "log on" when I was in the hospital just to "talk" to my family and tell them I was ok. I knew people would be worrying and I didn't want to worry anyone!

    A long time ago, Webshots used to have daily featured websites. One of those was "Cats in Sinks". It was from there that I came to TDK. I looked at the kittens and posted remarks occasionally under various screen names, before the chat room existed and registration was required. My first exchange in the chat room concerned 40 cats who were abandoned in a house in my town. Only a few sick ones had to be helped to the Bridge; everyone else was re-homed.

    I think what TDK means to me was illustrated last Thursday when the discussion at the DVPA got a little too intense for me. I coped with it by getting my TDK stone out of my pocketbook and holding it for the rest of the meeting. TDK is there as a support, as a comfort, as people who know and care even though most of us have never met. When my home life is crumbling and my church congregation is swaying off its foundation, TDKers are there to listen, advise, and comfort. Even when tragedy strikes TDK, we cope with it and get through it together.

    All this, and the sound of kitten purrs in our hearts.

    I found TDK through a yahoo link. Like many others, I lurked for quite a while and also like others was not a chat room person. I don't have kits currently :( I found out just how terrific this site is when my son was burned--it was only 3 weeks before Christmas and we weren't even sure he would live--he has 3 daughters and Lord I didn't want them to have to deal with his death at that time of the year--well, our TDK white light and prayers came through and he lived and is doing superbly. In addition, the members here sent cards, boxes, Christmas ornaments, etc., etc. to the girls--what could have turned out to be a really crappy holiday, turned into a blessing and taught the girls about loving people in general and TDK in particular. I know I couldn't have gotten through that awful time without TDK.

    About 10 months ago I jumped in with both feet. I needed help and needed it now. There were so many people there to help me and my babies, I could never thank any or all of you enough. I have not been an active member lately for personal reasons but I sobbed yesterday when I realized how much loss there has been here.

    I think back to your strong shoulders when I was going to take my sister in law out back and beat her...I thank you all for talking me down.

    I remember all the cards I got a Christmas, that was very special since just having lost my father and feeling out of sorts.

    Please accept my thanks

    I have also been around for about 2 years and have found many friends. You helped me through dark days with my parents and the joy of my grandchildren. I treasure each and every member that has responded to my posts and put up with my bad days. But know in the deepest part of my heart you are my friends.

    I have been around for a while. I don't post all that often, just can't find the words sometimes; or just feel too 'down' to post. You are the friends that are always here. I only have to come here to feel a part of something very special. It's a connection that defies description. thank you all for accepting me, warts and all.

    I have also been around for a while, I lurk mostly but I want each and every one of you to know that I am here for you and I have no doubt in my mind that if I were to need you guys you would be there for me. I have been thinking about my lurking lately and I hope you guys will bear with me as I will try to participate more because all of you do mean more to me than I can say. {{{HUGS}}}

    I have been around for quite a while also, but mostly in lurk mode--I remember when there wasn't even a chat forum, just the daily Kitties. Probably took me over a year before I actually "signed on", but I'm glad I did. I wasn't a fan of chat rooms, but TDK is unlike any other place on the web, I believe. It still amazes me about the closeness of this wonderful group of people, and the willingness to help and give advice when needed to complete strangers. But no one is made to feel like a stranger---all are welcomed from the start.Thank all of you for making what the Kittenmaster wanted to create become a reality. It truly is the fluffiest place on the net.

    I've been so out of sorts that I missed this thread somehow. I echo everything that's been said. I've been around since the beginning & altho TDK has had it's ups & downs (more like growing pains), I'm just in awe that there continues to be so many kind & loving people joining this Worldly Family of ours.
    BTW...not quite there yet...but, close to getting my car fixed. You all will be the 1st to know when it is done. I Love each & every one of you for all of your continued support!

    {{{HUGS}}} & Kitty Kisses!!

    I don't remember how I discovered TDK, but I lurked for a long time. Then one day my neighbor's cat wandered into our apartment as I was getting ready for work; I couldn't leave him here and he ended up going back out into the hall and then into the apartment of a cat-hating couple. I tried to lure him out, but couldn't manage it, and was so afraid of what might happen after I went to work. I posted here for the first time to say "What do I do??". Everyone was super helpful and welcoming, so I stuck around.

    I'm not surprised at what a wonderful group of people this is; kitty people tend to be nice people. But I'm grateful that I've gotten to know so many nice people and to meet some of them.

    I think I have been here for 4-5 years or so? It's been so long, I really don't rmember any more. LOL

    I found it through a yahoo link probably about 4 years ago. I couldn't resist the kittens and checked everyday. Somedays I had time to read the posts and finally got brave enough to sneak in a comment or two. It was usually after everyone went home but I did get some responses to my comments which suprised me. I never thought I'd be in a chat room and I probably won't ever be in another one but this one is special. Its nice to have a place where everyone "knows your name"

    I have been in the chat room from its inception and I think I was first at Daily Kitten about when Terri's Bogman went missing and she found him and let him stay with the autistic child. It has been a great time.

    I am not sure if I joined TDK first or catster first.
    I know I love y'all. Yes Cheri, TDKers are da best!!!!
