Thank you all for the nice things you have said.
Tony: It's not because of what you said that I'm leaving.
The thread I posted which is now titled 'deleted' was about Quinn and RW being an item. I had read about it on the Divorce thingy. I decided to start a thread about them as it seemed it wasn't a secret because Quinn had stated it on that thread. The reaction I got to the thread in the first few posts has made me feel that my sense of humour is not welcome, and that I should, basically, mind my own business and leave Quinn and RW alone. I have e mailed Quinn about it, I've told him I meant no malice, and just thought it would be a fun way of getting everyone to send their best wishes to Q and RW. I will now paste the responses I got which have made me feel it's time to leave. I do enough 'walking on egg shells' here, at home, and don't need it on these boards. Also, as you know, my H doesn't know I've been using these boards, and I hate secrets and lies, and I'm sure he would have found out eventually and it would have caused an argument (at best). Here are the posts that made me feel I was speaking out of turn:

Sandy,

....We're waiting ....

YOU may be waiting ...I hope you are just being 'funny' cause I would like to command them for being this honest and straight forward

As far as the 'dirt' I hope they build their own castle ... and really it ain't our business LOL...


And as you walk you make your path Kat

and this one:

How about a pat on the back for telling us and the right to "privacy" (if they so choose) now that they've told us.

Sandy,

I believe each of us read the forum(s) according to their needs, wants, preferences. Maybe, just maybe, the chosen wording "secret", "gossip" even in jest got you to be on the wrong end of a knee jerk reaction...

And as you walk you make your path Kat.


So, Chris,Anthony, Charlie,Moe, Tony, Quinn, RW and everyone else who has paid me compliments and asked me to stay: I thank you for your kindness. I hope you understand my reasons for going. I wish you all happiness.
Love Sandy xxxx


Edited only because I found a spelling error xx
Twice!
And again, because I forgot Anthony -sorry. This is a bit like getting an Oscar and not remembering who to thank.

I have taken much more than I have given.

Sandy,

> I forgot Anthony -sorry.

No apology needed, I was just surprised to hear you were leaving.

I've been hurt a couple of times myself over the years on these forums, so I understand your position. In my case, my emotions were already on overdrive, and it didn't take much to injure an already wounded heart. But, I eventually found my way back to the forums. At first just reading, and slowly I would start posting again. You're always welcome when and if the situation feels differently to you!

On the other hand, if you are able to break free and go out on your own, I commend you. I know many folks have been strong enough to move forward, but I always seem to come back. Partly because I feel I have friends here I don't want to lose contact with, but I also appreciate having a place to vent and express feelings I would otherwise have to hold inside.

Wherever your road leads you, I wish you all the best. Hopefully we'll "meet" again in the future.

Take care,

Anthony

Thank you. I still think you're a hunk (would you guys over there understand my joke: Marks out of ten, I'd give you one - maybe not, it's an England think. But tell that wife to watch out, cos there's plenty of us that would love to take Anthony away....
Goodbye, wish you happy stuff xxxxx

Sandy please feel free to come back and read or even post anytime you want.

I re read your story and you know that violence in any situation is not good for the relationship.

If it keeps up please find help or leave for your own safety.

May you one day find happiness and joy forever.

Be safe


Tony

Sandy my dear girl it was a pleasure meeting you. I had the occasion to chat with you a few times in chat and although sometimes your difficult to understand due to the Canuck vs Aussie thing going on, your very funny indeed!

If you feel you must leave then I will bide you farewell and wish you the best. Just remember that you can read here anytime, even if you don't feel comfortable chatting or posting.

Signed
Queen Canuck LOL or is that King Canuck


Hugs and take care Sandy
