Hi Kate,

I've been on this board for 2 & 1/2 years and you have been a positive, shining light on this board and I appreciate all the help you have provided.

Oh Kate, so glad you came back! I completely understand wanting to disconnect from here especially with all the "craziness".

I really got disgusted here several months ago and I deactivated and then contacted OH to reactivate as all my history was here and I wasn't willing to give it away. I may write a book one day

.

Really (((BIG HUGS))) Kate

Welcome back Kate!

I know what you mean about answering the same question over and over. I skip over those basic questions and let some of the newer people answer them, and usually it gets handled. If not, I might jump in and answer it, just so the person isn't ignored all together.

Glad you decided to come back, you are a valuable resource!

Whew! I'm so glad you're back. I was getting ready to grab Jean M., Bette and a few others and jump the pond to come after you! Just what you need, a couple of cranky band grads showing up on your doorstep because our dear friend deactivated! Well, actually, it would be really fun but that's beside the point!

Anyone who's been around here for a while totally understands your feelings. I have pretty thick skin but it's very tiring to see out-right mean behavior on the very forum that's brought me so much support, many new friends and lots of laughs too!

Welcome back!

Hi Kate, glad to see you back.

When anyone is as far out from surgery as you are, I think it is completely understandable that the newbie questions get a little old. Just know that I'm sure your advice is much appreciated.

You have to take care of you, but I just wanted to drop a line to say thanks for coming back.

Please don't leave us we need you. Just back off for awhile, the drama always dies down eventually. Or even better just ignore it and keep the Pollyanna club strong! We loves you!!!!
