I've come to say goodbye

Best of luck, Gratitude. I'll miss you.

I know what you mean about having an all or nothing personality, and how addictive this place can be, but I'm not ready for rehab yet, no no no

Hope you'll check back in and let us know how you're doing

Aww! I hope you'll pop back in from time to time! Best of luck to you!

Gratitude, so long... and pop back in once in awhile!

You guys are killing me

Made me cry. LOL. You made me feel so special and I thank you so much for that

I posted this goodbye because I knew if I didn't I would be back. Now I can't come back because I'll look stupid

It's my fail proof plan! Lol.

I know normally people probably just drop out, but I wanted to say thanks. And to the mods. This place is great and well maintained and protected. I'm sorry for anyone I missed out in my first post, you try to think on your feet and then see a name come up and remember! Everyone here has something to offer and I think the different view points are refreshing.

I hope everyone out there in the virtual world keeps taking care of themselves and their spouse's if they have one. People's lives are changed here at TAM. This place is important.

My last words ... and thanks guys x x x

The Optimist Creed

Promise Yourself ...
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

- Christian D Larson

Life is for living. Whatever is thrown at you, believe you can cope. Know that you are strong enough to do it. Enjoy your life, not just focus on what you don't have. Remember what you do have. Health, kids. Family. Love. Think outside of your own world. Help kids that can't help themselves. Animals that have no defenders. Use the gifts you have to help at least one breathing thing on this earth. There's too much pain, wrong and violence in this world. The change starts with us.

Love this!

I have enjoyed yours posts alot Gratitude, what a wonderful user name! I've thought a zillion times of leaving here but my addiction appears to have too much of ahold on me. My normally clean house has suffered a bit & so has my cooking.... my poor family.

It is funny.... I have thought just like you, if I posted saying Goodbye... I would be back and look stupid. I have watched 2 other regulars do that (I won't name names)....they are loved here very much and very helpful... so just saying....if you do come back...you won't be the 1st who said "Goodbye".... but had withdrawl so bad...you was back on here reading more threads & jumping back in! I think it is a normal occurance.

It happens to the best of us. Ha ha

If you have the will power to stay away... I envy it ! ...I need some of that myself !

Once you've gone through TAM "detox", you should set an alarm next to your computer and come by to visit for say 10 minutes now and then.

Thank you! I think all of you are great ... Such amazing people on here. I jump on and still browse once or twice a week, I can't help it! Lol. But I don't post (well, apart from this but hey, lol) But it's given me a lot of my free time back for now ... And I know there is always this place to come to if I ever needed help and it's terrific knowing TAM is always here.

It's also good for a laugh to jump on and read the posts in the Social section! You guys are hilarious. Loved seeing all the photos!
