A "Thank You" to all of the friends I have made on the boards, and goodbye.

I thought it was Forum Drama Queen.

 

 

It's really Fantastic Dairy Queen.

 

Thanks. I guess that solves that.

Now I have to go get a country basket.

Scott-

 

Best wishes to you!

 

I hope you will stop by the boards once in a blue moon to visit and let us all know how you are doing. You will be missed.

 

Happy and healthy new year to you and your family!

Best Wishes and Happy Trails to you, putting your family first means you have life sqaure in the cross-hairs. Also, I hope 2009 is a watershed year for most of us. Life is what you make of it and it sounds like you've got your feet firmly on the ground. To say the community has had a difficult year is an understatement and I'm sorry to add you to the list, take care and God Bless-Peace CC.

Flaming (or, alternatively, eff-ing) Drama Queen

Thanks, I didn't know either

 

Scott, best of luck to you and hope to see you back soon. Here's an Irish blessing for you that's always been one of my favorites

 

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

The title of my thread is simply that......a heartfelt "thank you" to so many of you.

 

I have been a registered boardie for almost 5 years now, and I have grown as a collector due to all of the contacts I have made on here. There isn't another place that exists on the internet that has so much to offer when it comes to sharing knowledge about our hobby. Simply put...you guys know your stuff. Because of this fact, I feel that I know some stuff now too. For that, I am grateful as a collector. To all of the friends I have made, (you guys know who you are without giving a roll call) you have increased my love for the hobby by sharing with me, listening to me, advising me. I love you guys.

 

The boards have allowed me to grow my collection in a way that might not have ever happened if I hadn't been exposed to different genres, artists, titles. I thought that I knew alot about comics when I came here...but I soon realized I was a true "babe in the woods". Thanks for helping me grow as a collector.

 

With that said...here comes the hard part. I am going to take a sabbatical from collecting. For how long, I really cannot say. I just feel that it is time. I have a few deals that I need to get tied up...and to do that I plan on selling some of my really nice books that I didn't plan on selling. I don't want to, but it will allow me to get all of my time payment slates wiped clean. However, I want to be clear, I am not asking for a ton of pm's asking me what I plan on selling. I don't know yet and probably wouldn't tell as I don't want this thread to come off as a ploy to make an announcement for an upcoming sale. It couldn't be further from the truth...it just needed to be stated so as to explain why I need to take care of some outstanding deals. I didn't want alot of you to read this and then see my sale thread in a week....that seems tacky to me somehow. Enough with the sale talk.

 

 

I haven't always seen eye to eye with all of you, but I want it to be known that it didn't mean that you were not respected. We all have something to offer on here...some more informative than others. Like society, there is the occasional rotten egg, but it seems that they never stick around too long. Can't stand the heat as it were. Arguments occur here, just like any other tight knit group, whether it be a family or a sports team. We are all a family of comic nerds....loveable nerds though.

 

In closing, it always amused me to see all of the FDQ exits over the past 5 years. I didn't want to go out that way. I wanted to let you guys know that you are special...and to let you know where I was when you don't see me around anymore. This is very hard for me to do, but life changes, and it is time for me to move on to something else for awhile. My family will definitely benefit from my leave....which makes this a little easier to do.

 

If any of you want my phone number, shoot me a pm and I will send it your way. A few of you already have it and I expect a call from time to time.

 

 

Take care and be well guys and gals.... you truly are the best.

P.S. I took a break a while back of almost a year....I needed it. You'll regain your center in no time and in the meantime, I'll keep you in my prayers, my friend.
