Jim:<P>Your generosity and love for everyone here, your care of the newbies, your constant vigil of the threads, indexes, roll calls...you are so completely unselfish and amazing...you are our lighthouse, our beacon guiding the Newbies to the MB prinicples and guide the members to their archives and more....<P>You will be missed, yet, we are all thrilled that you will have three weeks of family and celebration and time for yourself. We look forward to your return and a full detailed report of your adventures across the pond!<P>Bon voyage, Mon Ami..<P>Catnip =^^=

Jim,<BR>Just enjoy yourself in the old country!! Don't worry about us, we all have each other.<P>God Bless,<P>Bob

Will miss you Jim, Have a wonderful time!<BR>Lora

Jim,<P>Have a great time and give our best wishes to your grandparents!! <P>Mitzi

Jim, <BR>Have a wonderful trip!!! We will all miss you so much! You have been so helpful and inspiring, and we all appreciate you. It will probably be good for you to get away!<BR>Enjoy!!!!!!

Jim<P>1st have a great trip.<P>I too will be leaving Friday for about 3 weeks. I usually keep an eye out for the newbies so I'm sorry I won't be around either. I too believe that actions taken in the beginning are CRUCIAL, as I wrote to Homer.<P>We need someone who posts often to volunteer to do this, though we can't quite fill your shoes. <P>------------------<BR>Cindy

Jim,<P>Have a wonderful trip and enjoy your family.<P>You'll be missed.<P>Jo

Go have a good time Jim, we will try our best to fill the void. I think that if everyone on this board put 100% effort into filling your shoes, we would still come up short in providing the help and support you offer.<P>Go forth young Jim, enjoy yourself.

Jim,<P>Have a safe and wonderful trip We'll miss you!!<P>Dana (lonelymom)<BR>

Jim I don't know who you are. I don't know your story. Wish I did. I do know that when I heard you were going to be gone I held my breath.<P>You are amazing in your responses to posts and your encouragement and knowledge about marriage. Like everyone said you will be missed. Dearly. I will be waiting for your return. I'm eager to receive your support...I value your opinion more than I can say. I hope you have a wonderful time. Take care of yourself and your family. Laura

Oh, did I miss you?<P>Sorry, was absorbed in my own mess today!!! If you see this...love ya and have a save and wonderful trip!!<P>Give those grandparents a big hug from me and let them know how special they are!!!!<P>If I missed you......<P>How was the trip? <P>BIG HUGS,<P>Sheba<BR>

Hey Jim,<P>as everyone else has said, have a wonderful time.<BR>Fill your own cup for a change, with your families love and support. I have no doubt they will be wanting to do that for you.<BR>Enjoy this time with your children, and your family. What a milestone. Please congratulate them for me.<BR>I will do my best to help out. I'm back here with a vengance....<BR>I didn't realise how much I needed everyone here. Or how much I have missed everyone.<BR>It's good to be back.<P>Take care of you, and your babies. Have a wonderful time, and collectively, maybe, just maybe, we can do a little of what you do.<P>love hugs and prayers to you my friend<P>Jo
