[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 683449, member: 47"] I have been a member since 1999 and do read the boards almost every day and so miss the camaraderie of the board back in the day. Coming up on 66, I can't remember what I did an hour ago, BUT can remember when SLSH's son tore all the heads off her flowers, Fran's sons first girlfriend and his new shoes, Pico's memorable quotes, Suz's son stealing the company van, Rita's terrifying night with an out of control son on drugs, Martie's Mr. No. And I cannot listen to the Ronette's Da Do Run Run without thinking of Janet and Ant to this very day . I think at the time how odd it was that the universe arranged to put all of us, the ones who had the most devastating sarcastic sense of humor, in one place. I thank these ladies for saving me from total despair. There were dark times, no doubt, but the comedy and laughter over our plights made it much more bearable. Jerry's help dealing with school issues, and the one forum for the Juvenile Justice (I cannot remember her name) was such an invaluable help as Danny was around 13 or 14 at the time I joined and I had to be able to quickly navigate the legal system, and school system as well. It was such a close group - some of us even taking someone else's "gift" to live with us for a time (like we didn't have enough going on at home and at the time had SO's Gift neice staying with us) and of COURSE I landed with one who's mother, someone who was seemingly sane and ordinary on the board, turned out to be a total wack job of unmitigated proportion. Maybe because I was/am a Gift, maybe because all of our kiddo's were the same age we grew close and still talk on a private FB page. Now it seems everyone is so easy child and there is absolutely no laughter or lightness on the board, and there is no "finding it comic" when one of the kids does something stupid. I remember a while ago, Suz commented on it, and did a post about changing sheets on a bed and in short order it turned to dead serious. And because I have a sarcastic sense of humor, rarely post anymore as I have to keep it in check lest I get flamed from one or two posters I have to thank those ladies, and if I forgot a name or two - sorry. You have helped me help Cheech and your sense of humor helped me thru some many dark days. Marcie [/QUOTE]
