A Special Message To Agate.

[SalpalSally]

Thank you Joan for communicating with my DD Julie, on my cell, through my perils,
these past several months.
I will always remember you fondly for that and so will she.

[Howie]

She did the same thing when I was in a home, but for a very different reason. I kept all the cards she sent me. She is a very special lady!

[agate]

Aw shucks, twarn't nothin'.

I never want to intrude on the private lives of people on a message board. Usually I just don't but there are a few exceptions where I play it by ear.

Trying to find someone who's gone missing is a tricky situation. Some people do like to just drift away. They're bored or angry or just plain busy, and they don't want to feel obliged to explain themselves here. And of course they have every right to drift away, take long breaks, whatever.

Aw shucks, twarn't nothin'.

She dun started tawlkin like I duz! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAW!!!

Agate/Joan you are a just a nice person and I feel lucky to be able to call you my friend.



P.S.
If I ever go missing you have my permission to "jest hunt me down!"

[Howie]

Gary, that would be easy, just check all the insane asylums in the area!

Not only do you track down your in absentia friends here with your tremendous sleuthing skills, you also welcome new posters to BrainTalk. As you know, I feel that is very important in keeping our community vibrant and growing. Thank you so much for reaching out to newcomers.

When trophies were awarded in the Games section BT once had, you carried it! You have the most posts of anyone at BT (in our current incarnation). You have terrific insight, wisdom, and information. And, it appears, you have quite a Fan Club! Of which, I'm proud to be a member!

May all that you give to others return to you a hundred fold.

Love & Light,

Rose

Amen, is all I can add!

[agate]

OMG, people keep bumping up this thread that I wish would move along to another page.

Don't tell me I have the most posts here! That just means I'm terribly wordy and should learn to sit and listen to a still small voice, talk less and do more, as my 6th grade math teacher was always saying.

That makes me a post mostie. I don't think I can survive this.

When I found this board in 2001, it was a jumping place, and there are people here now who were well established first responders on that board back then. They are the ones I learned from, and so it's really all their doing that this board is still here. It was an amazing board thanks to all of them.

They're the ones who deserve a round of applause.

You know who you are.
