Princess, You ask a good question. Mel has been on board for a long time. Her posts are valuable but we must remember she is here on a voluntary basis. I am not privy to her current status but can understand if she needs a rest. Mel will begin posting when she is ready. We can't expect more than that. What we can do in the interim is put into practice the good kind of posting Mel has done. So maybe we ought to emphasize on what about Mel's posts have helped us? Then maybe we can keep Mel's furvor alive. I am sure she would be pleasantly surprised if she saw some of us improve by putting her good skills into practice. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I advocate take the good and throw out the bad in many instances. We all have good and sometimes bad or not worthy types of posting. Let's focus on the good and how we can spread it around to help others. Isn't that what good support is all about? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> JMHO, L. Huh?

Mel took an unannounced break right after Pep left, remember? I hope she's just busy at work....or maybe she's off in Melody land!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (That's what I accidentally called her when she helped me after I misquoted Weaver/BobP/WAT way back when.) Miss ya Mel....even if ya thought I was a guy when I first registered. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (Hey, another poster thought I was a guy and propositioned me last summer....remember that FH?) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Ace

Hey Ace, I just gotta tell you, every time I read your name on the forums I start singing your name to the tune of "brass in pocket" by the pretenders... "I got Ace, in bucket..." I'm a little...different <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the melody, maggiemagster. I'm a little...different <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> We're all different, which is what Orchid may be saying, PM. Ace

We're all different, which is what Orchid may be saying, PM. Oh, I get that. I was just confused about to what Orchid was responding. I only asked about ML because I DO wonder where she is and I DO miss her colorful posts. She's a tell-it-like-it-is kinda person and I respect that. Another reason I was wondering is because there have been a couple of new posters in the last couple of days that I believe she could really help. We ARE all different. I've always been accused of marching to my own drummer. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Princess, Sorry for the confusion. The question I was referring to was your title of your thread asking: Where is MelodyLane? I should have presented it in a more clear manner. I apologize. I certainly understand your concern. Mel has been invaluable to this board. We may not always agree on everything but I do respect her input. Even when it is directed what might appear t/b against me.... I try to look at things from her angle and pull out the valid points. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Both Mel and BR were very good at helping those coping with alcohol and A addictions. It would be sad to lose both of them. Still we must trudge on. Now you mentioned some new posters need some help? Would you be able to post who they are so those of us that are here may be able to assist? L.

I had a break once but don't recall a "Where is Tummytuck?" thread. Feeling a bit miffed about that.

OZDreamer, You just earned yourself a permanent IGNORE. I would suggest you seek help for your anger and jealousy issues. God Bless, Jo

Just about everyone can catch "Burnout." She did a lot of good. Hope she comes back.

(Hey, another poster thought I was a guy and propositioned me last summer....remember that FH?)
Ace Get outta here, Ace! You mean he thought your were a guy and he was a guy and he was hitting on you? On Marriage Builders?
And I missed IT? Dayamn! Was he MARRIED to boot? I guess I should re-phrase that, Jose.....actually he did hit on me (asked where I lived and then said he wanted to take me out for a drink) and when FH blasted him, he backtracked and claimed he thought I was a guy. So that SHOULD HAVE read "remember when I got propositioned, but then the poster claimed to have thought I was a guy to avoid the blasting he got from FH?" But back to the original thread question...it's been a week now and I hope Mel's OK. What if she's been involved in something health-wise that keeps her from posting.....have any who email her been in touch or heard from her lately? If she has decided to leave the boards, it seems that she would at least let us know. Or did she? Ace PS I'm hitting submit before checking to see if Mel has posted elsewhere....if she/you have, that's great! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

At least you know if she ever changed her name, we'd still all recognize her. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
