Oh Randi, thanks for going to all of this work.

Sometimes I think that new members have no idea of what a history we have here together. Over the years I have spit on my monitor more times and almost wet my pants laughing.

We have gone together on silly adventures - created a cyber bar where we can all hang out and hang loose. (and throw food)

I can't tell you how many times I have sat here sobbing........when I have read about pet illnesses and their loss.

I was accused not too long ago of being part of a clique. That made me feel terrible, but I realized the person had no way of knowing that so many of us have met in person - have become real true friends. So our posts have a familiarity to them that you might not understand unless you know the history behind all of our stories.

I hope all new members soon get to enjoy the same experiences and then they can understand how close we all have become and how much we care about each other.

But Randi - you REALLY are the BEST! ♥♥♥
