I have had a bad couple weeks (emotionally) and then ended up with a horrible injury to my leg which has caused me to be in bed and too much time to think, but also allot of time to be on here.
I want to thank you ML and all the other vets that spend so much time helping complete strangers who come here for help and you all jump to offer your great advise and then THEY DON'T LISTEN.
So I really want to thank you for doing what you do when it has to be so frustrating and I bet there have been 1,000's of times you want to jump through the screen and slap someone silly.
It really stands out at me when I read story after story and most BS don't listen to any of the advise they came here to get. Boggles the mind!
Keep it up you are doing a great service.

Funny that you post this. I wanted to post something thanking the vets here (especially ML) too last week and did not do it. I am glad you did.

I just can't thank them enough. Doesn't matter who post or what time a day someone will always post back. Going through one of the worst possible things and there are all these great people here that care.....and they do it for FREE!!!
Wow!!!
Sometimes I think they just need a thank you because it has to get frustrating!

I think the posters here especially vets are incredible as well. Sometimes I will read my original thread and I still can't believe what good advice and support I got. Just as an aside, Mel has a special place in my heart. She helped my baby sister SO MUCH. Thank you, ML!!!!!!

I appreciate these vets' adherance to Dr. Harley's and MB principles. These vets' posts are knowledgeable, usually spot on, and true to MB advice.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness, dedication to this forum, and willingness to present the program even when others doubt.
I truly believe if it had not been for MB, my H and I would be currently divorced.

Wow! Thank you so much for saying this, HalfUnit! As you can see, I am passionate about Marriage Builders because I have seen it work so many miracles. If I can have a good marriage, then anyone can!

You are so hopeful and helpful when things look bleak. Which makes it all the more remarkable that one of your first posts to me was, 'I think your husband is a sociopath.' LOL. Guess you were right.

And thanks to you, hurtingturkey, Susie, hurtbydavid and Smilingwoman for your kind words. I appreciate all of you who are here in the trenches. All of you contribute to this board in so many ways.

MB, Sorry I did not mention you by name, Geez as I was typing it so many of the Vets on here have offered advice and I swear it would take me a long time to mention everyone by name.
I really think so many of you just to not get the proper thank you, but I guess every time you have a hand in saving another marriage it has to be rewarding.
Just awesome people on a site I never thought I would need. Guess that is what makes it so special what you all do.

I agree, some of the vets (and even some newbies) around here are priceless in my book. Their hard-found wisdom is worth more than gold. MB has been around for a long, long time and it has evolved into a place where someone can come and receive good, solid, consistent advice that works.
Not only that, if someone sticks around long enough, it begins to feel like family. I'm amazed that I now have such good friends all over the world because of this place. The crisis in my own marriage is long over but I know that if anything ever came up, they would be there for me whether to offer advice, encouragement, or a 2x4 if necessary.
So to you vets -- a toast. Thank you for paying it forward day after day.
