To the thread... I hear ya Giant. I've tried ad nauseum to get a hold of PatriciaA with no luck. At one point, Tery's daughter went to the store where she worked and was going to try to get a report. I've heard nothing further on that. The others that frequent FB now do so it seems for one main reason: no groups here. Furthermore, having watched a couple of these groups migrate over to FB, it's pretty obvious that not just the groups are important, but controlling the commentary as well. I won't mention names, but someone I like a lot has shown themselves to be a bit over the top with the power to control the group. I noticed a lot of people disappeared when we went to the un-moderated posts. Oh well, such is life.

I lost contact with Patricia a year ago. I know PITH made phone contact with her after his mama passed (end of April '14). Did not get a Christmas card, but mine was not returned. Had heard she was helping her sister. Holding her to good thoughts.

Oh Gawd... now all of my insecurities come bubbling up to the surface--if I am a part of this problem it will destroy me, Hoss.
(If I thought I was causing people to want to not be here... I would throw in the towel in a moment, I do worry so much whether I'm doing enough, or too much, it's so hard to find a balance.)

Did I ever tell the story of what, shortly after high school, a girl I knew did to a good friend of mine when he broke up with her? He had joined the Navy and about a year in he dumped her before going on secret maneuvers in a nuclear submarine. She decided to get even and baked him a big batch of brownies with laxatives. Well, he didn't eat them right away, and took them on his sub. He handed them out to all the crew. Things got so bad they had to surface, which I understand, ruined the maneuvers. She got a call from the submarine commander in the middle of a night asking what the guy did to her that was so terrible she would put the security of the country in jeopardy.

I'm sure whomever hoss is referring to isn't you, Flake. Perhaps you should PM him about it?

FlakeNoir - I am sure Hoss is speaking about a "group" over at FB - from what I understand some where formed by "missing" SKMB members. I think he also speaks about a person on FB "controlling" said group. I personally do not do Fb, but friends of mine who do have told me "stories" about SK related groups.
Flake you do an excellent job moderation. Completely fair and understanding. Giving freely of your time to keep this a safe place. I do thank you.

You are my twinner, honey. We all love you! I was never part of the groups, so I'm not sure about all that, but I do know you are a beloved member and moderator. But I would be thinking the same way. I should send you to my Dr. Feelgood.

Sorry about my last message :a11: I was racing through the thread earlier and might have (hopefully :blush: ) misunderstood what Hoss meant.
I'm just always hugely concerned that I might be alienating myself with you guys--the other moderators might also know what I mean--it's sometimes really hard to do the job and still also just be the friend.
You guys and this place mean so much to me.
