This has become an Elenin site - I came here for a more rounded discussion.
I tried to send this by private message, but still, for some reason, couldn't... wanting to say farewell to those who have been patient with me and who have seen other 'sides' of things, willing to discuss things through, using more than one argument/angle for an issue.
Cheryl, thank you for having me.
Pan, thank you for forgiving me and being so understanding.
Alex, Byron, Brad, John, and others, thank you for making me laugh, and esp. for taking part in healthy, well-rounded discussions.
Dianna, thank you for ALWAYS answering my questions.
Aleshia, wow, thank you for helping me learn so much!
Angela, Kim and Rosemary, thank you for being such gentle people and real sweethearts.
Doedwig, thank you for directing me to this ning.
Keith, thanks for being patient with me.
Paul, thank you for being so thoughtful.
Jim, thanks for being 'solid.'
edina, wherever you are, thanks for some good reads.
And, desertrose, a special 'thank you' to you. I won't explain.
I'm not withdrawing my membership, because, who knows, I may feel an empty spot in my heart and need to come back for a visit.
Don't forget to keep looking for the good in people and love in the world. Both are still there!!! This earth is not void of beauty. It is not completely made of conspiracy, lies and hidden agendas.
...my email address is mnrd34 (at) gmail (dot) com, if something comes up and you find it in your heart to let me know about it. Until whenever, GOD bless.
(Cheryl, sorry about posting this 'in blog,' but I had no other way to tell those I've come to care about, good-bye.)

Hey there,
Missed you all. Tried getting on last night and the night before, but kept getting interrupted, so quit trying. Hope everyone is well... SO, off to try and catch up.
Break was great (hubby and I even got out of town, away from everyone and everything - except the PHONE - next time, that will be turned OFF!!!)
THANK EACH and EVERYONE of YOU who emailed me AND/or commented. I so needed to hear the positive.... but, but, but, one thing, please don't think you have to read or respond to anything I post. I read quite a lot that I don't respond to.
Things are better here --- esp. since it rained this afternoon... lol, PTL!!!
XOXOXOXOXO to everyone ---- love this group --- hoping some day to meet some of you.
Msred, dear one. No one understand s what you have written here more than I :). If I had a dollar for every time I had been misunderstood, misquoted or verbally attacked I would be a billionaire I tell ya !!
LOL, those things are neither here nor there , my dear. There will always be someone who does not see eye to eye on what we see or understand. It is a fact of life. However, life without us would be so boring ;). No one to disagree with , no one to give differing points of view . No one to keep their blood pumping trying so hard to prove us wrong with indignant righteousness. OK, maybe not all that , but you get my point. This is your home dear msred. Whether we agree or disagree here we are a family and you will always belong, be loved and be missed. Who else to present your very unique view of the world than you ?
I do not know why the special mention in this blog for me , but I am flattered. I am also curious and would love to hear why , lol. Yes I am a very curious little minx so fess up little one . I await your disclosure very soon , lol.
Love you and your candor more than you can know. Believe me when I say that you please and educate more than you upset. I think the consensus is out and you my dear have been denied retreat! :P
Hugs !!!!!
