Exclamation Only 1 Regret......

Hi there TT Peeps

OK, I know I have been "missing in action" and some of you have asked about it so here is my confession:

I have only 1 REGRET about my decision to have WLS and that is that I have NOT been able to spend as much time as I would like with my TT Peeps!!! My Newbies Thread is out of date and the Clan of the TTBears are growing and I am losing track

With the newfound energy levels and the confidence peaking (my SPMs and those more that 3 months out will understand where I am coming from ) I have found that I am enjoying life sooooo much that there are not enough hours in the day to fit everything in and unfortunately my time on the Forum has been one of the things that I have had to give up

I am sure that it is also a "summer thing" and that in the colder winter months I will be back in full force catching up with you all.

In the meantime I can only say that I think about many of you on a daily basis and thank my lucky stars for finding THIS wonderful place!

I LOVE TT and YA'LL and MISS ya like CRAZY!!!

PS: If the new "Bears" would like to make themselves known to me I will update the list and if there are any good threads that I've missed which you think should be part of the Newbie Thread please let me know and I will add them.

XXX

See now I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to see Gwen more often. I saw her on Sunday and she is completely amazing, managing her tool so well - the transformation in her is just fantastic - pictures really don't do her justice!

We miss you Gwen - you have so much more to give than just information. I'll keep the seat next to me nice and warm for when you're ready to come back full time.

I was just commenting to Duckie yesterday that I noticed that she and quite a few other "Veterans" seemed to be MIA lately.. and I was missing them.. even though I've only been here a short time.. the absences have been noticed with sadness..

Y'all have too much to offer us newbies.. we NEED you guys!

The comic relief is missing too...though Fisher does a pretty good job there even by himself
