First, I want to thank Bruce for educating me on what a moderator does. I did not know and had never given it a thought. If one doesn't look behind the screen, you never see the one pulling the strings. Yes, thank you Leanne, Joyce and Beth for your hard work in making this forum what it is. I am a realtively new member, but I have already learned that it's addictive. I will not only love you today, but every day that follows.

Thank you.

Peggy,

OK mom I'd be happy to come home more often if the price of gasoline would at least stop going up!!! Love you much! Right now saving my pennies to go see my sisters new baby as soon as he/she is born!

Thanks to Bruce and everyone else for the appreciation! And to my fellow moderator Joyce and our wonderful site owner Leanne, I adore you both!

Re: Leanne, Joyce, Beth-LOVE THE ADMINISTRATORS DAY

Group, Bruce has certainly said a mouthful of TRUTH. MB & Lojack have been here at my house and are my daughters. I do wish they would come home more often. They do deserve all the praise we can give for the JOB they do on this board. And Joyce, (best hugger in the world) Is so smart with a heart as big as the sun.

Yes Yes Yes, I LOVE ALL THREE DEARLY.
