i just noticed something that made me smile:

there's a forum called "and rants" down near the bottom of the list; it has 11 topics (at least one of which really isn't a rant at all) and a total of 101 messages.

there are just over 2600 total messages on the boards altogether.

not even considering that the vast majority of the messages in the "rants" forum are positive, supportive, and encouraging responses, that means that you guys are 25 times more likely to post a positive, supportive, or encouraging message than you are to post a message complaining about something.

if anyone's looking for inspiration around here, they won't have far to look; you guys are the best!

Very Happy

Thanks Kevin, for giving us a forum where we can post our joys and concerns and for also being such a wonderful example of a quitter.

I think we are all grateful that you've so graciously made us feel at home here. Very Happy

It's so much easier to be positive when you feel warm and secure and you are not under attack from some anonymous poster.

Thanks again Kevin!

I agree Kevin...This site rocks!! I sure was sad without it the past couple of days. But so happy it is back. This site is to me; a place to express my self, a place to see myself in others, a place to feel friendship, a place to come when I am lonely, and when the going is tough it is a "soft place to fall". Thank you for this....
