I just want to take a second of your time to remind everyone how great you are! Every once in awhile I've run across a sentence or two giving thanks and admiration to all the many voices represented here. But personally I need more than a few words to express how much of an positive influence you all are in my daily life. Sometimes I even find myself referring to you as my friends when I'm trying to tell someone about some wonderful advice I picked up on here. See the reality of it is I have no friends, just relatives. And when I start to feel lonely, I know you'll always be here. Through good and the bad, there are no fair weather friends here! My thanks also go to the founder! Does anyone else feel this way?

yes, definitely, I refer to SFV very often in my thoughts, when I try to solve situations or even when talking to colleagues.
SFV with its members is a wealth of ideas and knowledge and yes, that includes all kinds of people and characters and yes, I do not agree with everyone.
It's almost like real life, isn't it ?!
Thank you all for being who you are. You are great, I agree with Stellace.

I agree too. It has been really postive for me as well. I also don't agree with everyone here, but that is what makes this site work. Multiple opinions/advice, ideas, and sometimes just plain fun.

Thanks to all of you at SFV.

Me too! Me too! I respect everyone here and although I occasionally need to take breaks I always come back. I come back because you are missed and needed.

(((((((hugs to everyone)))))))

I will jump in too...

Stellace, thank you for starting this. Thank You to everyone active with SFV ... I appreciate your honesty, differences and your willingness to share.

Yes, thank you Stellace for starting this thread. The best part of SFV is the fact that we DON'T all agree on the same things. Differing opinions is what makes us think. Also, the fact that we don't really know each other on a personal day-to-day reality, allows us to be honest with our statements as an objective outsider without worrying about losing face. I know I can be a bit harsh in my replies at times but have the greatest intentions at heart, just like everyone else here does.

I'm definately glad I stumbled upon this site. Thanks to you all!

:huggies:

I'm so not sure how in the world I missed this until now! I, too, want to thank everyone here. I think we all know that I wouldn't be here as much as I am if I didn't feel completely comfortable w/each and every member. This site has opened my eyes to so many different ideas and ways of doing things. The diversity of the members makes it a great place to share and care and laugh and cry. I've never been made to feel the range of emotions I have w/each and every person here. Even though we are strangers by sight, we are friends by name and stories. We're all connected by a common bond and I think that everyone here has the best of intentions. I am blessed every day for having found this site and the people that have helped me when I needed it most.

Thank you to you all. You all have my utmost love and respect and I hope you will be a part of this site and my life for a long time to come!
