to DJ, Steph and those little blue people we call the smurfs mods.  Y'all have had to put up with a lot of grief over the past few weeks and I just want to say thank-you for performing basically a thankless job.  If it weren't for DJ, this site wouldn't be in existance.  If it weren't for his patience and caring, it would have been shut down permanently (since I do know that he's shut it down before).  Thanks to Steph for being DJ's support and helping him.  Thanks to the mods who try to walk the walk and talk the talk in order to help the rest of us behave the way civilized people should.

I sincerely thank all of you for taking the time and effort to keep this place going.  A

And now an Irish toast or two

There are good ships,
and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are friendships,
And may they always be.

May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.

And here's one that we should all copy and read every day.

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.

Well put Carolyn.  Thank you, one and all.

-Dennis-

We all come her to chat, yap and chew the fat.  Ya know, to kind of unwind for a bit and to help those in need.  The last thing we need after a long stressful day is to encounter more stress so thanks for making this a kinder and more gentle place.

I just wonder who is gonna pay for the wine, beer, Zantac and/or tranquilizers for the moderators? :-/

All kidding aside......thanks DJ, Mrs. Deej and all of the moderators.  Your work is appreciated more than you will ever know. :)

Well given that I am FAR too tall to be a smurf (just don't even THINK it!) I'm going to be Gargamel - you know? The evil, mean, wicked, nasty one?! Am tall then too *grinning*

Thank you Carolyn, that was a lovely thing to say.
You prove another saying

Make new friends but keep the old,
The new are silver
The old are gold.

Thanks again DJ and Steph  :)

Thank you, Darlin', for the heartfelt post.  Great toast   :)

DJ and Steph deserve and have earned our respect and appreciation.  I've often wondered were we would be without their efforts and dedication to this site and all the people here.

Lifting my glass to you too, Carolyn.

Much Love,

But if they're Smurfs, wouldn't that make my nose bluer?

I think all of us can go along with that.

It has not gone unnoticed that all the male smurfs have been styled the "lesser" smurfs.   :-X

Great post!

So what are we toasting with?  Champagne, wine???
I personally prefer a Long Island Iced Tea.

Langa

Thanks Carolyn :)  That was very sweet of you!

Ummm I'm still trying to determine if being called a smurf is a good thing, let alone brainy smurf!  If someone as dain bread as me is brainy smurf then I'm really worried LOL

Nuthin' personal, Steph. I've just seen studies that show about 80% of guys would pick the original Mary Ann over the original Ginger. That shouldn't squelch your fun.

sigh, yeah I know, but the thought of some overweight woman wearing flowery hats, being married to that old guy and talking like a blue-blood makes me ill.  

The only thing that makes that worth-while is that if all this were true, I'd be rich enough to "BUY" all-a-youse.   Bwa=haaaaaa

I believe scary spice had a baby with or is married to Eddie Murphy. I may be wrong.
