You know - there seems to be a little negativity floating around here today.

I for one, like to start my weekends on a positive note. So I'm just going to blunder out there and send some good vibes to my fellow posters.

I don't post on everyone's threads but I do read along pretty frequently and really have found this board to be extremely therapeutic during this emotional maelstrom.

To the Vets

and anyone else I might be missing. I don't think I've ever had the honor of you stopping by my thread, but I read a lot of what you write and find it very helpful. I know you don't get paid for the considerable time you spend helping people on these boards. I hope you know what a positive difference you make in the lives of so many strangers. Thank You.

A special shout out to Labugwho stops by occasionally and helps me out. Thanks Bug!

To the guys

You know - it would be pretty easy to become bitter about men in general after this experience. And reading how you are trying to save your marriages has prevented that from happening for me. I'm particularly guilty of not stopping by your threads (because its hard for me to wrap my head around a wife leaving her H and kids) - but I do read and cheer you on. Thanks for giving me that hope.

And to the guys across the pond, rd 500, jim0987, edz, South, and of course Old Dog - Ditto the above, and of course your posts are even a little fun to read because of that whole British/Irish thing you've got going on.

And to my lady friends Maybell, Ss, Ahoy, rppfl, Vanilla, Dawn70, Toots, Georgiabelle, T0324, Little, Claire, Kgirl, Stacey9, LisaB, our Aussie friends Vossy and ganb8te. I hate that you're in this boat with me- but, wow, it sure has helped me knowing that you're there.

I know this is going to be like an Oscar speech and I'm going to be kicking myself for forgetting someone. So I'll be back to fill in the gaps.

In the meantime- anyone who wants to join in - feel free to share the love to your fellow peeps around here.
