Hi liquidsunshine, I just searched for my first post and found it was

on Sept 5, 2004. Dan and Edith were active posters then and, of

course, Edith was the moderator. Edith has left us officially and we

miss her. However there is a new moderator. I don't know just when

Dan quit posting but haven't seen him for a long time. I'm not sure

you were there when I started posting. The only other name I

recognize from that time is Sylvia.smhtrain.

We are happy to have you here. So glad things are working out for you

after Katrina. What a thing to live through.

Just because it's been a while doesn't mean you are not welcome. If

you have been doing lots of hard work on your own self you will be a

valuable asset here.

Like you, this board has been a great help to me. I am still trying

to manage with my mother who is 96 now. I am doing much better than

when I first posted here. Life is good and I love my new found

freedom from the guilt Etc. Dee

Hi Liquidsunshine--

Last I heard from Dan he was moving back to the states because his

wife hated France. He is no longer posting, but in his last post he

wrote that he felt that he arrived at the lamppost, and wished us

all well on our journeys.

Welcome back.

Hello liquidsunshine,

So glad to hear that you are well and safe. Dan has left us - he

felt he was ready to move on. I am not sure about Greg. Edith is

no longer the moderator - I miss her wit and willingness to share

her own experiences, as well as the very important posts and links

she often provided.

As far as I am aware - the advanced group was not formed. But we

are still here, alive and kicking and healing.

Take care,

Sylvia
