Now that the Mrs. J auction has ended over at otwa, and I think I have actually caught up with all the emails, I need to do something....
:1clap3: THANK YOU ROSS BOARDIES!!! :1hug1:
The gratitude for what I have had happen in the past week thanks to all of you, cannot be properly expressed in words....mainly because if I tried to post what ALL i am feeling would take people all night to read!
This move has been made so much easier because the financial pressure that was there, has been lifted greatly. Every dollar has been kept track of and WILL be getting passed on along as things regain normalcy in New York. Some of you mentioned that you were paying something forward and that's what I will be doing also to pay back the kindness that has been shown to me.
Many of us talk about "the community" that Pierre created 10 years ago and long for that to be a part of eBay again.....but let me tell you.....if eBay wants to know what REAL community is.....they need to visit some other boards besides their own. The Ross Board and OTWA made me cry so many times the past week and not just because of the assistance, but because of the words that came with paypal notices and cards in the snail mail. Making this decision was hard, but those comments made me realize that it was a GOOD decision, and they also provided a positive attitude I have been missing for quite some time. Life LOOKS good again and I am even getting excited about LISTING again next month! :1chirol_c
The only people that I can publically thank are the two people that already were publically involved: Bobby for pushing me to let him start the original threads, and Beverly for co-ordinating things over at otwa. Everyone that provided an email address was written privately and that privacy gets respected.
So....before I turn this into a novelette....each one of you need to give yourself a BIG hug & pat on the back and pretend it is from me as the only way I can thank you at this point. You people ARE the greatest! :1ross_bli
