In mid-November I found this Forum and posted Holiday Party. By 3:00 PM that afternoon MelodyLane and the other moderators convinced me to get in my car and expose my WW.
After six months of hell my marriage is on the road to recovery. We are meeting with Steve Harley on a regular basis and both have hope that we will not only survive, but will rebuild a marriage better than ever before.
I have to THANK MelodyLane and the other moderators for your words of wisdom and support. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It is a very good thing that you can afford to counsel with Steve Harley on a regular basis. He's the best of the best and you couldn't possibly do any better.
It's very nice to hear that you're doing well.
One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger
I will not spend my life this way.

Hey, THG12, I am so glad to hear it is working out for you! I don't think any of the moderators posted to you, though. They usually don't post to people on the board unless it is to straighten them out. I have 1st hand experience...

Hi THG, you arrived here about the same time I did! I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you. MelodyLane was one of the terrific people here who helped me out as well. Her spirit and presence are indefatigable. I owe a debt of gratitude to her, Pepperband, maritalbliss and a host of other veterans. Speaking of which, I think you meant veterans, didn't you? I've never seen a post by a moderator except for system announcements and edits. I was edited once, and after I got over my initial embarrassment, I almost felt like I had "arrived." Hey, one of my posts actually got the moderators' attention! So glad things are working out for you. I love hearing folks come back and tell their success stories!

Mel is a treasure! Her pretty hairdo reaches all the way to the heavens topped with a halo! Patron saint of Marriage Builders. Of course, there are a lot of other saints and good souls around here who have done so much for so many of us. Shoot, I'm gushing with emotion, now. Thanks, guys! We have been so fortunate to receive so much help and attention and advice here. Even things that weren't addressed to us sometimes made all the difference in the world.

I think its safe to say Melody has helped everyone on here, and all the credit in the world to her. But I know why shes really here.
She loves this forum. Literally. In a romantic sense.
51141 posts over ten years is 5114 per year.
That is roughly 98 posts per week.
Figure ten minutes to read and then write each post.
That comes out to just over 16 hours of UAT time with the forum each week.
And we all know what that means! LOL
Now I will be unplugging my computer cause she scares me:)

Yeah, but it's all relationship talk, so it doesn't count!

Oh goodie! Is this a Melodylane roast uh, I mean "toast" thread?  Seriously, if my life was ever on the line, I know I'd come out ahead with ML in my corner. She puts up with some crap on here sometimes and keeps coming back. She will kick your [censored] and then turn around and give you the shirt off her back. Well, maybe she wouldn't go that far, but she's "good people" in my book.

you can run, but you can't hide. Don't you know she has super-human powers to see through walls and hard heads? Sure she has a bijillion posts, but 95% of them are solid, as opposed to posting just to post. I think it should become a personal challenge to anyone who's been here any length of time who believes and practices MB to match her quality posts. Hey I bet if a few of us get together and pool our posts, we can beat her record.  P.S. I only have 44857 more posts to go to catch her.

Thank you, PrincessMeggy, I consider that a high compliment coming from you.

Thanks again to MelodyLane and all the VETERANS who helped me through the absolute worse time of my life.

TH, thanks for checking in... It's always great to hear good updates tj Oh goodie! Is this a Melodylane roast uh, I mean "toast" thread? Oh! Was watching the Casey Anthony trial update on Nancy Grace tonight (haven't watched that show in years!) and was reminded that Nancy is who I used to visualize whenever I read Mel's posts for a while when I first got here. LOL /tj
