To all those who have NOT left the forum

[billybubba]

Thank you.

We all have bad days (I've proven that). We all get offended at times by things we see, hear and read. Those of you who have chosen to stay are putting the needs of others ahead of your own, and you should be commended for it.

I commend admin for the fix they created. Should have done it sooner. From my view it looks to be working pretty darn well. It will actually make it easier on people seeking help, as well as those just seeking companionship and understanding. The two worlds can co-exist, but not collide.

I'll probably get in trouble from some, but I believe we should recognize those who stay through thick and thin, and not fret as much over those who choose to bail after a rough patch. I know that sounds harsh, but that is the way it appears to me.

People coming here need info, support and assistance. Those staying here know that and are ready to help.

You should be applauded for that.

I sort of agree Billybubba, but I know first hand when I am upset or stressed it increases my pain level. With the things that have been going on around here lately I can see why some might have needed the break in order to let themselves recuperate a little. I think most will be back shortly and have no intention of staying away for good.

billybubba...monster is right. I am sort of bailing for awhile and maybe longer than I met too. but my bailing is more that I am not going to post very much for awhile. I have to heal, not only emotionally, but physically. I have MS. The reason I was retired from my job is because for some reason my MS reacts to stress and fatigue adversely. Today at around noon, I lost eye sight in my right eye. I am giving it a day to come back and then if it is not back by tommorrow i will have to call my doc and he will do what he always does and that is put in the hospital for 6 days so that they can give me 6 grams of solumedrol. That usually stops this process. I am not saying i lost sight because of all the stuff on the forum, because I have had a lot of stress in my life recently without everyone going on in the forum. My neice almost died in an accident, we are putting our home up for sale and moving to Oregon, and my grand daughters here are having fits about it. My husband is in so much pain every day and every day he does more and I do less. So I have a lot of person stressors.

I said this to say, that I am not bailing out, Limbo has not bailed out, Jayne or Spring have not bailed out, we are just taking a break to have a nice look at our life and what we want out of it. And I wanted you to know that it may take me a while longer if I go to see the doc and he puts me in the hospital tommorrow. Just want you to know we are not bailing out. All of us love this forum and it does allow us to help others and our selves.
