Sorry to see you feel you have to leave. I hope you decide to stay and I get a chance to meet you? If not, happy wilding and good luck with your van and your work. *wags to Rig from Eddie*

Thank you

After being urged by Firefox and Kimbowbill to read this thread I have done so and... well, I don't really know what to say except that I'm gobsmacked and very very touched by everyone's messages. I would like to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment and to let you know that it's much appreciated.

I have just emailed Phil with an explanation and I have, on advice from a wise soul (Firefox), decided to leave my account as it is at present, if Phil is ok with that. I am going to take some time out for reflection and to get all those jobs done that need doing on the Tranny.

I am going to PM Mothman as I hate to think that he is leaving because of me.

I genuinely didn't realise that I had such good friends here, or that my posts had been well received. As ever with any difficult situation, lessons have been learned.

I hope all those brave Southern Softies survive at Stonehenge and I am sorry not to make it but I decided earlier in the week, in view of the weather forecast and because it was such a long way for me, to give it a miss (regretfully).

Keep those wheels turning.....

WVW :heart:

It's a sad world we live in today, folks getting upset with virtual words, then follows the sympathy posts asking those concerned to stay and, there is nothing wrong with this, two members have made a decision, short term, long term, time will tell?

Innocent Men, Women, and Children are dying every day in Syria, we really need to have a reality check!!!

!

what you say is so true, in the cold light of day but people dont behave that way.

A few years ago I was the braun for an old lady that loved her garden , when I explained I was going to have to give it up because I was off to France, she was in tears ...... I was crap at gardening so why the tears ?

I enquired and the answer was " who is going to plant my rasperberry canes"

I was annoyed for a couple of reasons but tried not to show it , the third world scenario you shared although mine was India having been lucky enought to visit the country , and secondly for once I was doing something for me , and not others.

But then it dawned on me that all our problems are what we make them and what is trivial to one is important to the next... It seems part of our brains cant actually rationalise a bit fear or flight refex I guess>

As I mentioned before the net is one dimensional in its communication efficiency I.e no body language etc.

A couple of weeks ago , I had a really bad day when nothing had gone right, and I didnt get the outcome I wanted on just about everything I touched or tried to do.

I then got a call from a friend who shared that a mutual friend had lost their child.......The heartache pain I cant imagine.

Its all relative but human nature we let slip

Glad you're staying WVW, now how do we get Mothman to have a change of heart?
On page one today are two threads from yourself and three from Mothman, gonna be awful quiet around here without folk like you two :sad:

 

[scampa]

Well I think that WVW should at least continue her regular "thought for today" thread.

For some of the members on here, that was the only thought that they had!

 

[herbenny]

Please you have had a change of heart WVW.:banana:....was looking forward to meeting you and your waggies but yes your right the weather is pretty harsh at the moment, so we understand. Hope to see you at the next meet
