I am putting my toe back in the water so to speak.

I am a bit afraid of doing this. I do not have some of troubles that others here have posted. My only wish is to help, not hurt anyone. This is how you all help me, by letting me help you. Even if it is just a little, or I think I am helping, makes me feel good.

Now a suggestion for all of you who are willing:

Answer a post, any post. In my case, I like to hear from all of you. I like when you agree. And I like when you dissagree (I love a good debate) Smile

Others here rely on people here just to show that you listen. Sometimes they are hurt that they don't hear from you, so just say hey, i agree, a hello, an i don't agree, say anything to let people know you care.

OK enough of that.

From me, I love to hear your views. Agree, disagree, I love to hear from all of you. You are my family. And each here has a special place in my heart. Many of you know this already, (you know who you are).

Thanks for letting me rant on, and making a general pest of myself. And tell me when you think I am full of it.

That will not break me, i will be stronger and pester you more!!!!

All my love to all of you,

Kevin

Multiple Hugs from Australia for YOU Kev. I wont runaway from you or anyone else. I happen to think this place is great just that sometimes people take themselves TOO seriously.

Debates are great as long as no one adopts the attitude that they are right and everyone else is wrong. Not saying this happens here but it is a temptation for some.Smile

Just remember that the Kangaroo Mafia is hanging around to make sure people dont take themselves TOO serious ALL the time. If they dont get ya, I will and tickle ya till ya pee yaself ok? Smile

... I think that you should take a determined and certain walk around the confines of "Your" place.

There you will learn my views on the Where's, Why's, When's and How's regarding your dispersal of these perky little critters.

All my best.

Stuck our little tootsies in the water....

And we ducked under the waves we did.... Hahaaaaaaa....



I just had to do that.......



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Kevin, I'm so glad you came back. You were an instrumental part of the group...EVERYONE is. That's what makes the loss of someone so disheartening...because EVERYONE is so important to the group. They have their own opinions about stuff, and it makes this group fun and interesting. I'm glad to call you all family.

Once again, welcome back. We're so happy you've decided to come back home. ((HUGS))

but only on the debate part - I dislike debates. I know they have great value but, to each his own.

I second timmy's "welcome home." I really appreciate your perspective because you're unique - just like everyone else! Well, seriously, we each have a different perspective that others can learn from.

Sometimes I'm just not coherent or articulate enough to make meaningful posts, or sometimes my opinion has already been well stated and I refrain from "Me too", but I read practically everything, as I'm sure many many others do, so please (everyone) don't assume lack of replies necessarily means lack of topic value or lack of interest.

Not quite fully able to see the screen, my tears of happiness drip to my keyboard.

Thank you, I am trying real hard to feel safe here again. It's not real easy for me yet, but I am gettin there.

Ashley ...
Thank you so much. You are awsome. Every day you get out of bed, the world is a better place.

Warren...
Thanks for your support, when times are tough, your still there.

timmy ....
I will make you angry from time to time. It's not because I don't love you. It's because I am a flawed, imperfect being. But I will try my best.

T.S. .......
I think your statement hold even more true for you. You inspire me. Thank you.

Marc ......
Love your warped sense of humor. Though it is WAY to much like mine. hehe

Brian ...
Thanks .... need I say more .... naww you know already.

smith .....
We just HAVE to do something with those ears!

TomS ......
Not sure if I would have made it back if it wasn't for you. Thanks, I owe ya one.

'e' .....
i was doing research on the topic, "How to be a Caring Person" and there you were. This does not end the lesson though, your just getting us started.

Trevor ......
Remind me you don't want to debate now and then. Otherwise I will take the other side and run with it. hehe And thank you for the disagreement.

*******

You truly are my family, I love you all. Now I gotta go clean up my face. I am a mess.

Love to all,
Kevin
