"2long,
I'm sure you've noticed this before or maybe it is even premeditated on your part considering your playful obsession with 2's.
Your member registration date is February(02),2002. I'll bet it's February 2 at 2:22 too(2). 2funny

No, I hadn't noticed that!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> But, 2uite ac2ally, it was February 18th, not the 2nd. I remember being a little "upset" that a friend of mine here got assigned the member number 22222. I don't have a single 2 in my own number! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Hi Melody,

Just putting in my two cents worth....I was always very glad to receive a reply from you. I appreciate the time you took to be helpful. You have been a MB cornerstone, and I am thankful for your contributions.

Best wishes,
Estes

Have you changed your mind yet?

You are SO NEEDED here. I hope you'll reconsider!

PS: Lor was right about the lack of response when you don't have ongoing problems to post... half the time I don't think anyone notices a thing I say! I don't even say I'm going anymore, because I know I'll just do it when I do it... and it doesn't seem to be anytime soon. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I suppose when I read posts by someone that seems as focused and self confident as Melody Lane it just doesn't occur to me to thank her and tell her how much I appreciate her. I am very sorry I did not do it sooner.

I have often read your posts and been very thankful that you were there taking care of things while I wondered what to say. You can't be duplicated, no one could take your place. I hope you are able to return and share for many more years.

Thanks, you have helped me personally.

I love your point of view and want you to stay forever .... or, if you must exit, do so the day after I leave <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> You've made me think on more than one occasion. As painful as that sounds, it did me good.

Love,

Pep

I should have my [censored] kicked for starting this thread. Wow, thanks so much for the nice comments, you guys. My feelings were very hurt and I was feeling self centered when I posted this. [as ba109 is probably thinking, "oh waaaaaaa" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> ]

I am very ashamed as we all know there are tons of people here who are in REAL PAIN with REAL problems.

I apologize for the momentary lapse into Drama Queenland; and thanks again for the nice comments.

P.S. ba109, you are such an [censored]............but that's what I love about you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Oh cool!!!

I was just gonna post something like "mel has left the building" when you posted!

Welcome back! And like SS suggested... ...THANK YOU for everything!

♥2long

Thanks 2Long! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Melody,

We've not spoken but I echo what everyone else has said here.

Your posts are always helpful. Never critical. Always educational and kind.

Hang out for a little while longer Texas <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

You know I was just kidding right? I am a proper gentleman. I would most certainly hold the door for the departing lady. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Now, someone want to tell me again how there is NO DRAMA CLUB here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Either get back in here or get the hell out so I can close the door. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Thanks committed, I knew I could count on you! sigh..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

well, at least ba109 can't hit me in the [censored] coming in! Leave it to him to ruin a "goodbye-cruelworld" post!

Mel,

Welcome back! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
