Happy Holidays to you as well. May you and your son have a safe and happy holiday season. May the new year bring you peace, joy and contentment.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
GGG: Thank you for your lab experiment notations and wry observations of H. Next time, please be sure to invite me to the next skinny dippy party.
Job: Thank you for your calm and clear eyed guidance to all of us here. Your catchphrase "sit still and all will be revealed in due course" should be trademarked! Thanks for the egg memory.
uR: Thank you for being my partner in crime in putting out antsy pantsy fires. Been a fun ride together.
T2: My dear man...you invented the MLC clipboard with Bill the Cat as our mascot. Thanks for the memories, man!
Eric: Thank you for your wonderful service in putting the You're A Star post here. You've done a pretty decent job for a guy who loves wearing pink tutus.
Mach: Thank you for being a straight shooter. I think I'll take a Cherry Coke slurpree in a black kettle.
FY: You've taught all of us what true grace means in your unconditional love for your W. You've got a fan here who has this massive crush on you.
Jack: Thank you for showing a way to offer support and hope to people here in the MLC forum in a graceful way.
Ellie: Your financial analysis and medical advice has been invaluable. More than you'll ever know. Thanks Dr. Ellie! Love reading about you shaking and baking your lovely Kim Kardashian hips.
Bea: Thank you for sharing that .02 cent demand from your XH. Priceless!!
GB: Thank you for the shining example of how to keep a straight face with a man who wears Spider-Man tee shirts and throws bubble gum wrapper on the floor. Too funny!
Linda: How can we all forget about fermented oatmeal?? You're the real prize, my dear.
Mighty: Your picture is right next to courageous in the dictionary. My hat's off to you for sticking with H since his OW is pregnant. You've earned the bravery medal from Oz.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More to come as I don't want the DB pooh bahs to censor this post for being "too long."
Cadet: Our Old Faithful scribe who rolls out his welcome mat to hurting souls who enter through the DB doors. Thank you for your service!
Raine: Magnificent. Grace and dignity every step of the way in getting your family back together. Loved cooking in your Easy Bake oven.
Matt: You've demonstrated how you were able to overcome some seemingly insurmountable odds from the very beginning as a scared Texan to grudging acceptance while being a rock to your daughters. Keep going. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. No, it's not an incoming train.
Tad: Thank you for opening up and showing the true innards of Tad irrespective of how people may view you. Out of everyone here, you've shown a genuine growth toward better things. It is an honor to witness your slow transformation to a man who can snarl pretty good!
Heather: Thank you for showing us what "taking a gamble" truly means in uprooting everything you've known all of your life and moving half way across the country by yourself itch young daughter. And who can forget the "dead cat" comment?! Wild indeed.
Bright: Thank you for showing us your never ending persistence in everything you set your mind to and accomplishing them such as finding your dream job and navigating through your life with a long-distance H who is very much stuck on Neverland.
AJ: My dear Mr. Bowtie, this'll teach you not to take a peak at the last page of a novel before reading it through from the beginning. Thank you for your words of encouragement when people seem to fall down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was near impossible to list every name here in the MLC forum as I've included only those whose thread I follow on a fairly regular basis.
You all ROCK!!!
Now I'm off to swill some choice egg nog with a splash of amaretto.
Thank you, Job. I wish the same for you and yours. I wanted to thank you for your kind words about me on Mighty's thread awhile back. Meant a great deal.
Wonka, it has been a ride...partners in crime indeed. Wishing you the best holiday and happiest new year.
Hmmm Wonka and UR - "partners in crime"? Should make for a fantastic, or at the very least, interesting 2015
Merry Christmas, all!
AJ

Aw, thanks Wonka (and everyone else here!). I do love a good laugh and I'm so grateful for this board. Your advice and insight is always appreciated. Lots of good peeps on this board.

You guys are the nicest group of people. I have been reading here for a year now. (Posted since July).
I can't thank you all enough for your never-ending support, encouragement, and guidance.
This is the only place in which I have ever posted anything. I don't have fakebook, ahem, facebook or anything. I cherish this.
Wonka, that was very kind. I guess others see more in me than I do. Does this make you Oz? The great and powerful? I could see that! To Wonka- the steadfast advisor with witty grit. Never misses a beat and strikes when you least expect it- with a powerful punch in few, humorous words... and they stick to ya.
I will toast to you all on New Year's! Ready for a new year, anyone?
