Hell, you got nothing else to lose!

Denver is just a hop, skip and jump away from Omaha!

[murielm99]

20. Some of us don't know what to say,

so we say nothing. That is not right either.

You are a friend to everyone here, and one of our most informative members. You have my support. I believe you have everyone else's support, too.

You will be in my thoughts.

feeling a bit less depressed. Only you know when it's time for you to step away from the keyboard, but I'll treasure whatever time you choose to gift to those of us onsite until you decide to. Best to you and Marta.

37. OS

I don't post often, but I read every thread from OS. You deserve the best from all of us. And I'm sorry that some DU members failed to give you that. And I wish life were treating you better as well.

I am so glad to see you back today, as I am everyday I see a post from you.

Thanks for educating me about the labor movement.

[sheshe2]

[TorchTheWitch]

39. I'm so thrilled you decided to stay and feel so much better!

So very many of us love and care about you and would miss you soooo much if you left here!

[joanbarnes]

40. I read all your posts OS

[cui bono]

41. Glad you're here Steve!

I missed the drama but heard that there was something ugly that had happened.

Don't let 'em get to you.

[Omaha Steve]

44. Here it is

[cui bono]

50. Thanks for that.

I hope you find the strength to keep on posting no matter what. You have valuable contributions that a lot of people enjoy reading.

[NBachers]

42. Hey Steve- You are actually one of the reasons why I sit down at the computer.

[alfredo]

43. Promise to stay above ambient temperature for a few more decades.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

45. That's a heavy assignment:

responding to each one of us. But pretty typical of your thoughtfulness. Take your time, even if it makes you feel better. And know that even if we don't "see" you for a little time, we are still thinking of you and wishing you and Marta the very best.

[MrMickeysMom]

46. I missed that earlier DU OP, Steve… It leaves me with sadness ...

I'm going to divert from what I might typically say, I hope you don't mind….

Have you ever gone to Disney World and seen the China exhibit? It's one of those 360 theater experiences across all the time zones and wonders of China. The host in front of you through this experience is the Chinese poet, Li Pai, who knows all kinds of history and applies the appropriate philosophy. I was in awe. The wonders of being there, especially through his guidance, then leaves you wishing to visit again.

This is somewhat similar to my experience reading so many of your OPs on DU. I am left thinking that whenever you finally wave farewell to all here, I hear you say -

This is the place where we must sever . . .
You go thousands of miles my friend once forever . . .
Like the floating clouds we drift apart . . .
The sunset lingers like the feelings of my heart.

[NCarolinawoman]

47. I just was hoping for ONE post....

and I found it!

Bless you and your wife.

[rhett o rick]

48. Good to see the post. nm

[DFW]

49. Remember Yogi Berra

"It ain't over til it's over."

People used to laugh at his "sayings," but there was often a lot more simple truth in there than many wanted to admit.

[Hoyt]

51. Glad to see you posting.

[Oldtimeralso]

52. As I have said in the past.

I am thankful for all of the many things you have done here at DU.
You can be proud of the accomplishments you have made.
I can understand as I have a disease that you die with and not from.
You need to keep on keeping on, life is not easy and if anyone said it is, they lied.
Steve, you have made a difference and that is a great deal more than most of us have done!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS

[Omaha Steve]

You're cool as hell and you're good at what you do. We appreciate your efforts that you have done on this site. You're one of the reasons I've dusted off this account and started using it. Stay frosty man!

[bread_and_roses]

60. good wishes always to you, OS

I missed Friday's thread (i'm not around here that much anymore) so have no idea what it's about, but taking this opportunity to say you always have my good wishes. I may have - very rarely - disagreed with you on something (I can't exactly recall any time, but I do with most everyone ) - but you are always a voice for working people and that is of inestimable value.

Your sister in labor,
kenzee13/ aka b&r
