Thanks to all my jelly good fellows!
It has been a long road since April 2008 when I joined. I was going through difficulties at the time dealing with my aging mother. One of the first to offer her comfort and wise counsel was my soon-to-become good friend @gailcalled. Now, we have lost her and that is a tremendous change. But, as we all saw, on her final illness and memorial threads, she left a lasting impression on all our lives.
That is what, in some small measure, I would like to do on Fluther. Give some help or comfort to my fellow travelers as you have all given me, provide a new bit of knowledge as I have gleaned so many from this site. It is why I have stuck with it through thick and thin, waves of migrations (and all the accompanying growing pains) from other Q&A sites, stretches of great inanity or boredom in the questions, trolls and troublemakers, but spots of brightness, richness and connection that I find unmatched anywhere else on the Web or even in real life.
Thank you all for what you bring to me and to this site. Now, let’s party! As we do so well!
