One Year: Thank You.

I just realized I have been on the forum for a year!

When I first joined, I had just adopted Ranger, the one-eyed-dog who needed round-the-clock care. More, Ranger's recovery came at a time in which I was barely coming into the light (blinking and as pale as one of those deep-ocean transparent creatures), having spent five years of talking to almost no one while taking care of my daughter. This place provided me with some contact during a time in my life that was anything but easy.

I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I enjoy this site - your humor (yes, that is the correct spelling ), kindness, support, perspectives and online friendship. I think I have gained much more than I have given for which you all have my sincerest gratitude.

Now, excuse me while I go set someone straight in the political forums .

Thanks to each one of you.

Re: One Year: Thank You.

Aw, Surfermom (I call you by your avatar name in the general threads!), I think you will find that each and every single one of the members at OFF would be touched by your post here. I know what health problems you have faced with your daughter being so poorly over the years and how you have both managed to get through most of it now. That is a credit for your natural motherly love for your daughter and her sheer willpower and determination to survive all of that pain and subsequent treatment to make her recovery such a wonderful event. Credit to you too, you are a wonderful mum and a lovely person.

Your posts on here, especially in the exercise thread we so enjoy posting in, are always such a delightful read. Your intellect shines through so much and you clearly relish your time to run and reflect on your life at the time, plus the beauty of your location takes you away to another place of inner peace no doubt.

You have some excellent threads and posts, you don't seem to whinge and moan like so many of us and you are an great asset to the forum. keep the posts coming and Happy 1st Birthday

Hi

You are an inspiration and a revelation Surfer.

Intelligent, articulate, talented and a very good debater.

You are never personally offensive and have a good sense of humour.

You are a pleasure.

I agree with everything Floydy and Swimfeeders have said - and would just add - I think you are a lovely person and it is a pleasure to know you.

Happy 1st anniversary - may you be with us for many more!

Re: One Year: Thank You.

Wow that year went so quickly!

I remember Ranger coming to you home & was so pleased you decided to keep him. I knew your daughter was ill and, although I didn't read what what her problem was, I am pleased she has recovered. I often think that most health problems ( human or animal) improve with a bit of love from the people doing the caring, and you have certainly given lots of that.

I have certainly enjoyed you company on here...... because you offer intelligent discussion, rather than arguments, so perhaps many of us would like to say " Thank you for joining this site."
