OOPS, sorry RevRuby
I gotta send Larry, my co-mod a big *HUG* and [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] for proof somebody cares about him!
I just hope that everyone reading all this realizes that posting at a forum online is NOT the best way to try and make yourself feel special or important or like you are a 'worthwhile' human being. This is a message forum. We can make friends and get to know one another, certainly, but it's never a good idea to tie one's self esteem to any one thing and surely not a forum where people come and go and things are pretty fluid.

Find other reasons to feel good! Do something nice for a friend or relative, learn something new, marvel at the beauty of the morning! Hug your children or spouse or a pet or a total stranger! [img]smile.gif[/img] But please don't let your belief about how 'good' you are be decided by who replies to your threads or who doesn't! Things move quickly some days and all the reasons I posted above may kick in too. We are important because we are PEOPLE first and foremost, not because we posted a clever or moving or funny post someplace in the ether!
