Iddy, I just wanted to thank you. You give so much of your time and your wisdom.

Dissertation - what dissertation?! - for Iddy, I would delay the writing in a moment. Besides, you can all just get ear plugs, and I will dictate my oh so amazing insights into my digital recorder, and have it transcribed later.
You know E1, one of the things I am MOST amazed with on the board, is the capacity of all the Vets to write individualized answers to the "same old" questions. I never really realized how "standard" my initial posts were until I started to see those newer than me come to the board. No one is ever brushed off. It is remarkable. Really.
Iddy, I can't tell you how many times you have twisted my brain straight. You're a remarkable human being. You will forever be someone I give thanks to.
So, here I am Newbie EASers .... hands outstretched to take yours in mine. We'll walk together toward a more certain future. And my hands don't sweat, so that's a bonus.

E1 - Illinois is right next door to Michigan, so I'll get a running start and throw my body in front of the door :)
TU - I can type really fast, so dictate away.
In all seriousness, Iddy - you know how I feel about you. You are a kindred spirit. You lovingly strapped on my helmet, put me on the bike and gave me a push. I'm almost ready for the training wheels to come off, but I'll never forget how I learned how to ride. Everyone's support here has been amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my very patched up heart :)

Yeah I got travel connections, but I will start walking right now if I got to! And Iddy, as a born and bread 'Gander myself, you know we will find you after all I got the map of the whole state right here in the palm of my right hand :)
But I too am amazed at the dedication and effort you always give to this place. I have expressed to you what it says about your character and your kindred spirit.
From day one I have realized how fortunate I am that people who have gone through the type of pain I have recently endured are willing to literally look it dead in the eye again in order to help out another. The world is sorely lacking in people like that. And my world would not be the same without YOU Iddy (actually without any of the 3 of you who have posted before me here)! So to that end, I bow my head and speak a heartfelt "Namaste"
SO E1, Im ready, bags packed...and have plenty of drums and bongos ready for the front porch sing along. Much Love and Hugs to you as well (you sure deserve it)
TU--heck most of my dissertation was written in some sort of sleep deprived state, at odd hours in strange places, and I would not have earplugs in cause I would relish in your amazing insights.
And Bodhi, what can I say I am right behind you peddling hard to keep up. I know without you out in front helping to pull me along I would have given up at the base of the first hill. And OMG if I did not get a great chuckle out of the image of Iddy running along side of you, chasing you down as you take that first wobbly ride without the training wheels, smiling so proud (till she remembered she forgot to teach you how to use the breaks :). It sure is nice to know that her, and the rest of y'all will be there to pick me up when I crash.

O! M! G! My nose is running from laughing so hard. Okay, it's like still dark here as this is when I usually get up on work mornings, fix a cup of java, and then check the board to see if any newbies floated in overnight (started this post at 6 AM). I remember the few times the board was down and I would break into a cold sweat, and this was waaaaayyyy before I got my little yellow hat. I would hit the refresh button until my finger was bleeding. Now, I'm not saying this is really such a bad thing (but addictive nevertheless), because I would prefer ALL of you coming here first thing in the AM in place of pining, whining, aching, breaking, hurting and skirting responsibility in taking care of yourself at such a tender time. As you are wiping the sleep (if you were lucky to get any) and tears from your eyes, reading this board with your morning choice of bevvy is a good habit to get into. I know how it saved me day in and day out at work (being one of the lucky ones to have access to EAS without someone looking over my shoulder), so whenever boss-man

Hey TU, pick me up on the way, will you? I mean, might as well have two people missing out on writing their dissertations. Solidarity and all of that ;)
While I hadn't been and I'm not always the biggest of posters, I do come here every morning to read and post when I feel I can/should/would like to. When I made the final ending, this board and you were in my thoughts. How disappointed (yet, not in a judgmental way) folks would be that I'd fallen back into A-land...but more importantly, that you'd all be here with you wise words and understanding; a place for me to fall and fix myself up again. I can't speak for anyone else, but I have no idea what I would have done without you and this board. It would have ended eventually, as they all do, but I think it would have ended a lot of me first.
In short, thanks for all you do and my friends do tease me often for my love of walking to just about anywhere...so, if I've gotta, I'll start walking! (and then maybe TU will save my poor feet and pick me up on the way, she is pretty close!)

Iddy,
Please make sure someone bails me out before they all get to your place and be all happy and then forget about me. I can not call a colleague, I would be too embarrassed and you guys already know all my secrets...Dee could charm the hell out of anyone and get me out and TU could break down the logistics along with E-1. Jane would blog about the horrible place where you all found me....when us lawyers our found in contempt, they put us with the real menaces to society...just come get me soon please...
:)
Man, I love this board...I truly do. We rock!!Luvin
