    This is a happy thread, please lets keep it that way!!!!

    I will start.



    ontariogirl-you were the first person to PM me on this site when I was having a crisis, you made me feel welcomed here. I will never forget your care and concern.

    kate1966-Thank you for being here for me when I need to talk (about emet and other things) I am so glad that we are friends.

    rileyl-thank you for always taking the time to PM with your care and concern when my children are sick. I admire you and all the single parents here for taking such wonderful care of your children like you do. You are a strong woman, dont ever forget that!!!!

    stella9-I know I can always count on your sound advice. I think we see eye to eye on lots of issues. Thank you for always being here for me.



    I know I have more people to mention, but I am going out for dinner. I hope that when I come back, I find a thread with lots of nice happy replies!!!![img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]

    what a nice idea!


    japa - her posts always seem to make sence out of a complicated situation.


    Shiva- always enjoyed reading what you have to say, because your so positive about it!


    crimmgodess - never scared to tell it like it is, I love the fact that she often tries to give a non emet perspective about things.


    donna - you always amaze me. You have emet, but your very brave and an awesome mother - I hope one day I can be as good as you are at it.


    harmoneygirl - your such a fun teacher, and what you say is always interesting.


    To everyone: I remember reading once that people with a high IQ are more suseptable (sp?) to an imbalence in the brain.. did you know albert einstein may have had OCD? I think we are all a smart, intelligent crowd, and that the IQ theory certainly holds with all of us!

    Madisonsmom, you were one of the first people on the board to make me feel welcome and you are always supportive of others.


    Jennyleigh, you are always positive and willing to offer kind words when everything seems it is going out of control.


    Japa, you are pure strength and positivity wrapped up in a person. I wish I could be half the person you are.


    Hippychick, you do a very good job at being diplomatic and are always there for others


    Californiagirl, you have been there for me since you first happened across this board and I am forever grateful for your support.


    Sillygirl and Madisonsmom. How cool that the both of you have shared your experiences with your current pregnancies with us all. You are both sweet and caring people.


    Princessmel, You let yourself be vulnerable here. You shared very intimate details about your life with us, like you trusted us like sisters or family. That is pure and for the trust you give us, you must also be a very loyal friend.


    Babydoll. Yes, you have always supported me here. You and I have often seen eye to eye on kicking the s*** out of emet!


    Ontariogirl. You are a very non judgmental person. You have a very strong presence here. You have the right balance between seeing things rationally and offering compassion at the same time.


    Donna is freaking amazing and that’s all there is to it.


    Pookey, look what she went through and she is back and offering support. Amazing.


    Stella, you are another rock here. You always seem to know how to put things to make life feel like it will be okay.


    Crim, You definitely do call it like you see it. You challenge people here and you have no apologies for who you are.


    There are so many others who have been supportive of me here during my times of crisis. I love this board and all of the people here. I think it’s great that there are so many different personalities here. I think it’s more beneficial for progress when there are other people to offer new perspectives. I wouldn’t change a thing about any of you… Well, maybe I would get rid of emet for us all if I could. One day we will be there. I am confident of this.

    Neha- I know you don't post a lot anymore, but we've gotten to be good friends, and your posts were great to read.


    Jenneh- I miss your posts too, you were and are very kind and I enjoy reading your posts too.


    Sillygirl- I like reading your posts on how your doing, and keeping updated on how your feeling being pregnant. You are amazing (as are the other pregnant mother-to-be's are), going for your dreams despite this phobia.


    Crimgoddess- I like readingyour posts too, very well thought out, and you're not afraid to call it like it is. Lol evil Oprah!


    John! For keeping this site going, it is such a blessing to have this site, thank you!!


    Of course everyone on here is just great, and its so nice to have this place. I come here anytime day or middle of the night in freak-out mode, and just reading the posts helps me almost every time.

    THAT REMINDS ME!


    GALADRIEL! You are always there for anyone when they need someone to talk to about anything. I remember a time in particular when you made me feel much better about life in general. You are always positive.

    Wow, who to thank...I'm half asleep right now, so it's tough thinking of individuals, plus I'm a bit shy around here so don't know anyone very well! [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]


    But I would like to add a special thankyou to princessmel...you helped me out so much when I was having one of the worst days of my life, even if you didn't know it, so thankyou! You have a lovely way of calming people down, and helping them realise everything is ok. I owe ya one!

    I don't post much, but I'd have to say the person who's touched me the most on this board with everything she has gone through lately would have to be CurlyWurly. She just comes across as one of those beautiful people who doesn't know how great she is!!

    I really just have to say that everyone here is so wonderful. I used to post on a pregnancy forum as well (big emphasis on USED TO) and just never felt the same feelings of understanding and caring that this forum has. I always know that when I have a question or concern people here will be supportive whether or not they experience the same problem themselves. I am learning how unique that is - both in real life and on online communities. I can't name anyone specifically at the moment, because I feel that everyone here has helped me in different ways. If it wasn't for this site, I don't think I would have had the courage to get pregnant and live life the way I want to, not letting emet stand in my way!

    Ok- here goes, my list be long, but there are so many people here who I want to single out for being, for lack of a better word, hella-cool [img]smileys/smilies_39.gif[/img]


    So, let's start the lurve fest!~


    Babydoll- For always engaging me in interesting conversation...and being such a smart, rational person. You're the bees knees babe!


    Suze- Just.....AWESOME! It's great to be able to biatch and moan to someone and have them completely understand where you are coming from.


    MJewell- Even though we don't always agree, there are never any hard feelings. That, and I completely respect the fact that you love animals so much!


    Galadriel- Hehehe- glad that someone else knows that Oprah ain't all that! [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]You aren't afraid to ask questions or for feedback, even about subject matters that may be embarrassing to some. Good for you for being so open!


    Japa- You kind of remind me of that quiet kid who didn't talk a lot in class, but when they spoke everyone stopped and listened. I love the fact that you take a step back, evaluate the situation, and then post your honest, well thought out opinion. And that you aren't afraid of being blunt if that's the way you feel.


    Shiva- Even though we don't always agree (hell, if we all agreed the world would be dreadfully boring and I would throw myself off the nearest cliff), I dig the fact that you have a sense of humour and aren't afraid to laugh at yourself or this phobia. You also allow yourself to ask for help, which not everyone is capable of doing.


    Lizzo- For being my online little sistah! You are wise beyond your years, and I can always count on you when I need to get something off my chest.


    Spilled Milk- You don't let this phobia get in the way of things that you want to do- such as your recent trip to spain. You are such a good role model for other emet teens, as you are living proof that you don't need to let this get in the way of living your life.


    Soccer Princess- Even though you are so young, you are very articulate and mature. You also have definite goals for the future, and it's obvious that you work very hard and will eventually achieve them.


    Hippychick- Keeping this forum under control is NOT an easy task- you are so diplomatic, and really try your best to make sure that everyone's needs are met. You are a goddess amongst moderators!


    Carolee- It's great that you ask a lot of questions, and really want to look into beating this. You admit that this is taking up too much space in your life, and are motivated to change it, which is FABULOUS!


    Ontariogirl- For being so open about your experiences, and just being such a kind person in general. The world needs more people like you.


    Mommyof3- It's obvious that you not only love your own kids, but all kids in general. It's great how you put this phobia aside when your nieces were over at your place recently, and that you are so understanding about family issues (even though they can be a big pain in the butt sometimes!)


    Donna- Even though you have the world's pukiest kids (lol), you still manage to care for them. You always manage to rise to the occasion, even though it may really scare you on the inside.


    Harmonygirl- Who else would I have random MSN conversations with midday? You always make me laugh, and it's great to have someone to talk to about the randomness that IS life.


    Purpleteacher- You show people that you can do what you want to do in life, regardless of thisphobia. Good on you- and I know I always look forward to reading your posts- even if they worry me sometimes.


    Happyteacher-You shared with us your frustrations andfirst not being able to get pregnant, and then your joy at finding out you have a bun in le oven. Congrats- you are goingto make a fabulous mom!


    Blondie90- No particular reason....I just think you are fun, lol. That, and I can sympathize about the whole finding where you s

    Californiagirl: Thank you so much for being here for me when I needed someone last weekend. Your phone call meant a lot to me and I love your PM's. You make me laugh.


    AAR13: Alissa - Thank you so much for your support and advise. You are a really sweet girl. I love your PM's too. I think you are really funny, and I don't know if you even realize it.lol


    Carolee: Thank you so much for caring about me and your advise also.


    Kate1966: Thank you too. Your PM's meant a lot. You are very sweet.


    Ontariogirl: Thank you so much for caring when I needed someone to talk to too.


    Violet: All I have to say is that you are so very sweet.


    Shiva: Thank you too. You are so sweet. You give really good advice.


    Now. I know I'm missing people, and I'm sorry, but I'll have to get on here again tomorrow.lol Forgive me. Anyway, I think everyone on this site is great and so very helpful. I've made a lot of friends in a very short period oftime, and I am so very grateful for that.

    Such a good idea, Leigh! I had a chance to visit some other posts when there was talk of shutting this one down. There is absolutely no comparison - the quality people and support I get here is like no where else. Although I don't post often, I visit the site daily and am constantly moved by the compassion and strength shown by all the members. I have tremendous respect for all of you,but especially all the other emet moms. With special props to my buddies


    Jennyleigh1975 and Kate1966 -You guys are so intelligent andcompassionate - wonderful people and moms!Thanks for always being there to talk to me and supporting me through good times and bad.

    I don't want to single out any one in particular, because there are a lot of people on these forums who maybe don't post as often, but I can tell you that every time someone even responds to my posts it makes me feel so good. I love it that complete strangers would take the time to read my problems and respond, even if they have nothing to say but feel better soon, we are here for you. That means a lot!

    Altho I joined in Nov 04 (Ithink) it wasnt really until Nov/Dec o5 that I started to get really involved.


    I think everyone on the site is fab, I dont know how I managed to get by before,I havent had much individual contact butIm trying to get more involved.


    Its like one big happy family and I miss you all when I cant get on here (bit too difficult to post when Im at work and Im generally there from 8.30 - 6.00 pm plus each day) cant wait to get home to catch up, I feel for everyone during the bad times but lets not forget the good times as well when we can laugh..........


    Violet, Im glad I makeyou smile, thats just me, bit of a fruitcake, like to make people laugh/have fun (despite the inner turmoil)


    Thanx to everyone in the past and hopefully the future.......

    Geez.. crap! Samara, violet, emetojackie.... this list goes on and on and I keep thinking of more and more. I guess I just want to say that there is not one person here who I don't think highly of and consider a friend. I would do anything I could to help anyone here. You are all great and amazing people.
