P3 says farewell

[paradox3]

Oh, no, we are loosing another OT..

It was delightful to discover the OT contingent here when I joined the original site.

@Carolla and I know each other from university although it is many years since our paths have crossed in real life.

Wishing you the best, @Carolla, @Mrs.Anteater, @DaisyJane, @Tabitha

@Kimmio Laughterlove, @Naman and @ChemGal

You have all been very open about some of your struggles in real life. I have appreciated reading along and wish you the very best.

I'm going to miss Snoopy and that cute little face popping in for a game or offering her considered opinion. I admire you even when I don't agree with you. Like as has been said, the door is always open.

So you don't always agree with me? I am shocked, I tell you, shocked.

Thanks very much for your good wishes.

 

[BetteTheRed]

We will miss you very much, P3. May your paths be easy.

Thanks Bette. May your paths be easy, too . . . I know you have hit a bit of a rough patch lately. Hoping things will look up for you in the near future.

I will miss you around here, @paradox3
Wish you all the best!

It's an enigma ... the departure ... an off we go blown ...

Sorry to see you go. I hope it turns out to be just a long break and you'll be back in the not too distant future! But I understand your need to move on, too.

I will miss you around here, @paradox3
Wish you all the best!

Thanks, Giancarlo. It has been great to have a "newbie" join us and become part of our community so quickly.

I was very happy to hear that you have rented a house which suits you and your wife so well. Good luck with discerning your future!

Thanks Luce. I am happy to see you on my farewell thread.

 

[GeoFee]

Farewell and best wishes as you go forward. I have enjoyed and appreciated your insights and encouragements. It is always good to experience thought from other perspectives.

 

[paradox3]

Thanks @GeoFee. All the best to you.

 

[BethAnne]

@paradox3 ...Time flies when you're having fun and we certainly have had lots of fun times here...thanks for all your posts (even when you bumped me out of last)...I hope you can pop in from time to time.

 

[paradox3]

Thanks @BethAnne. I have enjoyed your company on the last post thread.

It is a great place for fun & fellowship and a surprising amount of support in its own quirky way.

Good luck with snagging some more of those great post numbers! I will never forget a certain someone (may she rest in peace) merrily "cheating" her way to some of the really good numbers.

So many memories of WC and WC2! Taking my leave seems to be a bit of a process as I think about some of these things:

The Wondie award threads and the buffets hosted by our friend Redhead.
The ongoing gag about Grant and his thong although the actual story took place before my time on the original WC.
The wondershaker, the wonderdictionary and the crazyhearth.
The funny threads about United Church buzzwords.
All the game threads and others started by Crazyheart. She is truly missed @Sarah
The virtual Secret Santa gift exchanges and the lovely gifts I received from @Seeler and @ChemGal
The generous gift of a prayer shawl book from @Tabitha

The walk with many of you as you have shared stories from your lives.
And, of course, the many interesting discussions about theology and church life.

Someone should write a book one day.

 

[paradox3]

Oops! I forgot to mention EZed. Who can forget his little furry face or his scampering around the threads on the original WC?

Over the years, a few other things took place that are probably best forgotten. This is likely true of many communities and/ or relationships, when you think about it.

Peace to all of you.

Are you regretting your intention to depart yet or do we have to come up with some more memories of old times?

No, I am not regretting my intention to depart but more memories of old times would be welcome.

 

[DaisyJane]

I am just returning from a lengthy dissertation break and seeing this. I am sorry to see you go.

Thanks very much. I trust the dissertation break was a productive time for you.
