Oh no. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I didn't know this.

Yup. It's both good and bad---I think being able to compartmentalize this stuff and 'throwing it out' at the end of the day helps keep your sanity. But losing the empathy isn't all good.


Ole' D99H was a tough nut to crack. He was so angry that it seemed he was bound and determined to sabotage his recovery regardless.


Indeed. And quite a surprise. It is a good indication that helping someone go through the rules---even when they're not on board, will have a lasting effect. I had pointed Steve Harley to that recovery when she posted on the Pregnancy board---his comment back was that we reach so many more than we know about. The people who he coaches often point to the boards and tell him of the help they get from specific posters. It's a real indication that participation on these boards can help a great many.

I feel like we ought to be in a pair of rockers sipping beverages of choice and chatting up the old times. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But not on my porch tonight---the wind is just whipping and it's got to be around 10 F before you factor in wind chill.

Merry Christmas JL, and God Bless (and that goes to the lot of you...)

How about "NoMas"

Anyone remember him?

So this is where everyone is hiding out.

MEDIC238,

Hey, Hi! I'm an MB rookie (check my reg. date) but I've been appointed to a mission by K (see earlier in this thread) to 'implore ancient MB Vets to share their stories on the Success Stories thread'. I'll even hunt it down and link it here for you and others who have not posted/linked theirs yet.

Success Stories Thread

Many newbies are seeking for hope and hearing that folks can make it is inspiring for them. We'd appreciate your linking/posting your story there, even if it's the 'cliff notes' version. Thanks for seeking out the MB reunion. Sorry for crashing the party, (but not really)! So glad y'all checked up on us...we need your help.

Thanks,
Ace

Hey Jo---I remember NoMas.

And hi to Medic!!! Who still has one of my favorite signature lines... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hi Medic, how's the new marriage?

Jo

Hey Jo......are they gone? Is the 'Ancient' MB Vets reunion over? Dang, I was hoping to see how Medic's new marriage was, too. Glad you're still here though, Jo.

If you're still reading, Medic (or other drive-by-posting MB Vets)...please take a moment to post a brief success update on the Success Stories thread here on GQII before you 'drive' away.

Thanks,

Ace

I'm still here, Acey. I'm not going anywhere.

Thanks for the kind words.

Jo

Hey Jo, did you see the work Justuss has done on the Notable Posts thread Pep started? It's sliding around on the JFO forum under the poster name "Ongoing" so it took me awhile to find it. Hopefully it will be re-pinned back on the GQIi forum. It is linked to Justuss' note, though, or I would NOT have found it.

Maybe Medic and/or others will pop back in soon. Hope so.

The renewed Notable Posts thread has many Success Stories linked to it so RIF and I will be busy when he gets back. They are now catagorized, too. Woo hoooo! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
