BR,
I just wanted to say thank you for your posts. I have read things that you have posted to others and learned alot. I will miss reading your posts and getting it!
I wish you all the best.
Take Care, HurtingNCali

My dear BR,

I hear ya'. Sadly I hear ya'. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Totally understand like I told JL. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

You came on board just before I did, we have seen a lot through the years. You have the beauty and skills that we have greatly benefited from and I know you will continue to do so. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My heart wants you to stay and continue your good work. My heart also knows why you are making this decision. My mind understands. I am more than torn in 2. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Please keep in contact when you can. **edit**

Hugz,

BR,

I have come to respect you and your kindness more than can be said in words.

And I'll always think of you as brilliant, typos and all.

Wishing you all the best in life.

I can't help but hope that with your parting and the parting of JL, a lesson will be learned and when safety & kindness return, so will you.

Gonna miss your voice of reason, BR.

Mark

BR,

Sorry to see you go. I will miss your wise advice. Take care.

BR:

Sorry to see you go.

Someone you know knows how to reach me if you ever wanted to share some "soulspeak"

Your choice.

You will be missed.

Already.

BrambleRose, the board will miss you a great deal. I'm very sad to see you go, but I fully understand why. It's not a healthy place to be, round here, these days.

Good luck, and peace be with you.

What an enormous loss.

Mean people suck.

Is there no way that all the cretins and fecal agitators be expunged from the boards, so that this sort of thing doesn't happen anymore?

I can see how some may just disappear because their life doesn't allow them to post here, but when many veteran people say "to ****** with it, this place is a joke now" and decide to leave.......all of us suffer.

There are untold numbers of people who need your help Rose..me included.

If the members of this forum can't "self ontrol" ourselves, then we are in a really sad state of affairs. People are complaining about threads being locked..... It's obvious that some aren't able to see... or they don't care....
There is a noticeable trend towards argument instead of help within many posts and topics.

Those of us who come here for help and support are the big losers here, and right after us are those who have spent so much of their time offering the wealth of their experience......Damn those who try to ruin that with their poison and pettiness.

Bramble, I don't think you ever posted to my thread, but I have read your wisdom elsewhere, and you will be missed.....as will the others who have felt the need to leave.

Yours and their experiences will be missed by those who are only just beginning this "adventure".

I hope that those who think this forum is a platform for their pettiness and inadequacy will go find a rock to slither under...If nothing else, I'm sure they feel proud about how clever they are.

All the best to you Bramble, and others!

Actually... I think the past few days have shown a remarkable improvement back toward helping each other. I don't know, just MHO but I think the mods have stepped up and some long-gone veterans who really know the MB principles are here to help now.

For example, K. I'm learning a lot from reading his(her?) posts.

Thanks so much all the vets, for coming back. Your efforts are much appreciated!

Jayne,

I tend to agree. I am a bit surprised how those posts repeatedly took off in such a hurtful direction despite the honest attempts to bring us back on track to what we do best around here. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I too am grateful to the supporters who were able to get us back in focus. Yet at the same time quite sad to see several valuable members take their leave.

I must say that posting here a long time teaches humility. When I go back and read how I was helped, I continue to be grateful others took the time to help me. I can only try to give back in return. Folks like BR, JL and others provided invaluable support during those times to both myself and many others here.

Thanks for your post. I hope we can work towards being as helpful as BR, JL & others have been.

Hugz,
L.
