Post 100,000!!!!!! Nothing profound, just heartfelt gratitude and thanks for [View all]

this incredible community that has been my sanctuary, my safe haven, my rock, these last 20 years. Thank you to our wonderful EarlG and Elad (and Skinner) for creating this space. And thank you to each and every member of this community for all the learning, the laughter, the joys and sorrows shared, from the most erudite of posts to pets, from heartbreak to truly tacky jokes.

You all have been keeping what little remains of my sanity through this century, through good times, and some truly terrible ones. I love you all!

May you all be blessed.

So mote it be.
