<BR>I've done a lot of thinking about this for the past week or so and I think it's time for me to say good-bye. (at least temporarily).<P>Saturday will be the 1yr anniversary of my stbx leaving and I think I need to get thru that on my own. Then there's the new job, a few minor health problems and some other crap that I don't think MB can help me with. This is all stuff that I really think I need to get thru on my own. Stupid? Maybe. But for now, that's how I feel.<P>I just want you all to know that you ALL really mean a lot to me. You've gotten me thru the absolute worst time in my life. I KNOW I wouldn't have survived if I hadn't found this site. It'll be a year the 26th that I first registered and posted here. Time flies, huh? Do I feel very confident about this? HELL NO!! But...if I had to feel confident before I did anything, I wouldn't do anything. <P>Thank you all for being a BIG part of my life. I may lurk occassionally, who knows. And maybe someday, I'll be back. Until then, know that I DO love you all!!!! <P>TTFN (Ta-ta for now!)<P>Mitzi Hartman <P>P.S. I just wanted to say good bye to a few personally. <P>Dana, you have my email...use it!<P>Murph, to the Yard God from the Red-Headed Goddess....Thanks for everything! <P>RCoaster/Claire, Do keep in touch! <P>Bill, To you...thank you for being my friend. <P>OMG! I feel like I'm accepting an award and I forgot my speech!! <P>I love you guys!!!<p>[This message has been edited by Mitzi (edited December 19, 2000).]

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{MITZI}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} <BR>I was the first to be thanked and the last to reply. I'm sorry I didn't see your post I had a class last night.<P>You have been here about 4 days longer than me. I still wish I had all my posting stats from Lonelymom ID. It'd be fun to see how much I've wrote to everyone. <P>We have went thru so much together, all within a matter of days for so many of the major issues this year. We have had so much in common it is almost scary!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I got to come meet you in person last summer and I hope to come see you again after Spring.<P>You have been my biggest supporter through this all and I do understand your need to take a break. I have been taking mini breaks too but I can't stay away from checking on all my pals. My big day is coming too. Xmas. The day it all happened. I am feeling all of what your feeling right now, health, kids, family, ex's, love, life and its a lot!<P>You have accomplished SO much this year!! I remember how scared and confused you were when you came because I was the same way. You have a LOT to be proud of and although MB may have helped you, you did it on your own girl, and have helped many on the way.<P>You ALWAYS know where to find me, and I will be in touch thru email and phone . <P>Luv ya girl!!!!!!!!!<BR>Dana <P>PS I tried to put a really large hug in here and it messed up the whole reply. <P>[This message has been edited by DanaB (edited December 20, 2000).]<p>[This message has been edited by DanaB (edited December 20, 2000).]

Dana,<P>(This makes post #2633! )<P>What can I say?? They don't have a emoticon for happy tears! <P>It really feels like I'm saying good-bye to my family and leaving home! You guys have been my family for almost a year!!!<P>It is pretty scary how much our situations have in common. I think that God brings people into our lives for a reason. I think he brought us together to help each other. And I do plan on keeping in touch with you!! <P>I've cried here, been angry here, and LMAO here. I'm gonna miss everyone so much!! <P>Love ya,<BR>Mitzi <P>P.S. If you're ever gonna call, email me and let me know so I can turn this darn thing off! LOL LOL

Hey Girlfriend!<P>I keep thinking to myself that I need a break from this too.... but I keep checking in. <P>You know how to get ahold of me... I've got my MSN running on all of my computers, so I'm easy to find! (Will you still be posing/checking the "other thread"????)<P>{{{{{{{{{{{{{{MITZ}}}}}}}}}}}}}}<BR>Love ya!<BR>Dawnetta

Dawnetta,<P>I haven't decided about "The Other Thread" yet. I'll probably read it but I don't know how often I'll post. <P>You take care,<BR>Mitzi

Hey Girl!<P>As you know......haven't posted much,but none the less,will miss very much your posts when I am lurking!!<P>Take Care!!<P>Gina <P>------------------<BR>"If we deny love that is given to us,if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss,then our lives will be empty,our loss greater!"-----Anonymous----

Hey Gina!<P>I got home just in time to post to you! <P>Well, this is it. You take care Gina and you know how to reach me if you ever need to! <P>I love you guys!<P>Mitzi

Dear mitzi, <BR>Hope i didn't miss you...I have loved your laughter and your posts..I will hate not reading them!<P>Please come back here now and then...I haven't posted much myself lately either, and I have also thought that perhaps this is not a place for me anymore, but, man, everyone here knows what we are going through, and they hae been such a support at times...<BR>So, I keep coming back, and if I feel I have something constructive to say, I interject...<P>So, YOU keep coming back!!!<P>------------------<BR>Susan

FIRST...No, I'm not lurking! LOL I have email notification so I knew that someone replied to me and I hate to leave anyone out! <P>Susan,<P>This place has really become my home in the past year. But I have to go. It's just something that I feel I need to do for me. There are too many bad memories here, and too much pain. I know, I know...I've got a lot of good memories from here too. Loads of memories that I won't be forgetting and lots of people that I'll never be able to thank enough. <BR>I do want to keep in touch with as many of you that want! I just won't be here, on the board. <P>Take care,<BR>Mitzi <P>mitzihartman@webtv.net

(((((((((((((((MITZI)))))))))))))))<P>What do you mean? Leaving! That is forbidden!<P>Here I sat polishing my crown jewels for next months meeting? Well, what are you doing about that? Your appearance is mandatory!!<P>You're one of the reasons it's happening. You and Murphy and Dana and Gina and Medic and Claire and Butterfly and so many more.<P>I'll stamp my princess feet and stick out my royal lower lip. And send you a bill for my heart pain treatment.<P>I love you and will surely miss you. Bet you don't stay gone much longer than me. Overnight. The intreaties got to me.<P>Your wonderful and deserve all wonderful things.<P>-----Cinderella / Jane-Elise

Mitzi...<P>As I've told you many times before I'm always amazed how much you have grown over the last year. We all tend to look at your progress and success in doing well the things that you feel you gotta do!<P>I wish you success and resolution to the challenges that you are about to face on the next part of your journey...but try not to stay for long...<P>Peace to you and wishing you a healthy and happy 2001! (Was there a movie called 2001 A Space...?<P>Take care!<P>mrrlk

Cinderella,<P>As of now, January's not looking too good but who knows what will happen between now and then. Save some floor space for me! <P><BR>mrrlk,<P>Thanks for the vote of confidence! LOL Wish I felt as sure of myself as others seem to be! But....live and learn! <P>I've only been gone from here a couple of days and I'm really missing it! But I'm being true to my word and not lurking. Just replying to this thread. I think I'm having withdrawl symptoms! LOL<P>I'm proud to call you all friends!<P>Mitzi

Hey Mitzi,<BR>I know what you mean about moving on and when it's time. I don't come here myself anymore that often, only when I'm feeling down and need to vent alittle, guess I'm not really ready to go just yet but it's close. Coming up on a year for me too real quick, you're right, time really flies doesn't it? Seems like just yesterday I was crying in my soup.... Best of luck to you, and your kids I know they'll be needing every bit of love and attention they can get from the flaming "auburn" hair goddess of the net. Take care of yourself. Jax
