Signing Off After 7 Posts

[jsageurge]

Well it’s about time that I sign off. Being a “saint” isn’t in my support contract, so I only have 7 posts left. Maybe I’ll drop by once year for the next seven years just to say hello. Anyway, for now I’m going on vacation and removing my frequently used bookmark to this forum.

In 8 months, I’ve never had to post a single question. All of my questions were answered in the first week that I spent reviewing the wealth of information on this site. But that’s not the most impressive thing here. That has to be the support and care that people are offering to total strangers. I was so impressed, that I decided to hang around for a while and contribute. I didn’t plan on 2 posts a day for 8 months, but … I’m happy that I’ve had the chance to do so. I sincerely thank every single person who has contributed to this site.

You all take care of yourselves. Find the peace of mind that is within each of you. There is something Real, silently and patiently waiting to be discovered, if you make the effort. It is within your reach, but no one can make the connection for you. It is a “bridge” that only you can build.

Anyway, if there’s anything that I can do for anyone (as long as it does not involve discussing neurological conditions), feel free to send me a PM or email me.

Bill,

I will miss you so. You are one of the most intellegent people to ever post on this site. You have helped more people then you will ever know. I will never forget how you read through the lines of my post, reached out and sent me pm's with your phone number and offered help that went above and beyond.

Since I have become convinced that I have BFS, and nothing more sinister I don't post too much anymore. I still check in....not as often as I used to, but sometimes I feel I can help someone, so I post. The first thing I do though when coming on is see who posted. If I see a post from j_sageurge...immediately I have to check it out. You and a few others (I hope that they know who they are) saved my life. Now you know that when you save someones life they are indebted to you forever....so please know that if you ever need me...I am there, and quite happy to be in your debt.


Enjoy your vacation, and don't stay away forever......

Love,

ristinaL91

Bill,
That's great to hear. Not that you're leaving this site, but that you have yourself mentally healthy enough not to need it anymore. You helped me a lot during my high anxiety time of this syndrome, and I thank you for it. You did this by either answering my posts or by me reading some of you're previous posts.

It's interesting because I was thinking the same thing this morning. I think I too will be signing off soon. Not because I don't want anything to do with this site anymore, but because I just want to rid myself of any more thoughts of this syndrome. I think this board is really the only thing that even has me focusing on this syndrome anymore because when I don't visit the board, I very rarley even think about my twitches.

I think everyone has their own time frame on how long to be a part of something like this, and it sounds like yours has come to a end. I just want everyone to know that you shoudn't feel obligated to visit the site after posting for a while. There will be a constant turnover of new people scared to death, and new people to help those people get through it. I've seen many people with 400 posts that don't post anymore, and that's fine because now we are here. And when we're gone, there will be new people to take our place.

Oh no Bill! what happened to our 12 month plan?!! I was going to wait that extra month until your year was up and dissapear at the same time. I've only got about 3 weeks to go now until my 1 year anniversary so I'll hang around a bit longer then twitch off into the sunset

I'm the same as you, I've never asked a question on here, I realised I was fine as soon as I read BFS in a nutshell and got over the ALS thing instantly, but I just wanted to be here for a while just to put something back into the site and I really hope I've helped. Take care Bill, and thank you for being a part of this wonderful site, this place saved me from oblivion. You'll be sorely missed, you've done a fantastic job here and are a kind and generous warm hearted soul. I hope we cross paths on here again from time to time.

Oh and have a great vacation

Hi,

I never had the privledge of knowing you.....I was a frequent visitor to this site over 4 years ago......I just recently returned to see if I could be of help since this was my life source back then. I agree with everything you said. Never in my life have I met (via postings) so many wonderful strangers.....who offered kind words, information, encouragement and friendship. I hope I can be that "special" someone!

The people on this site are some of the kindness, most generous people I've ever been in contact with.....

Good luck to. You obviously had a bunch of people who thought very highly of you....

Wow, does this make me a total loser that I'm still here and have no desire to leave?

LOL. OK, OK I can take a hint...I'm outta here, seeya later alligator, you won't have me to kick around anymore.

What do you MEAN I've gone and made Bill's parting post all about ME?

Whoops-I guess I have...

No, all kidding aside, I'm happy for you, my friend. You've done your time here and certainly blessed many with your wisdom and wit.

Much as I hate to see you go, I'm glad for you.

I pray your life is long, most precious, and that there will always a hot tub in your heart.

Many blessings,
Sue

PS-I do hope you will be joining us for lunch if we decide to meet in NY?

 

[EyeoftheWild]

Bill you are an amazing man and a beautiful person. I hope you will not forget that offer of a beer down in Jersey, because I am going to take you up on it. Forget about the hot tubbing though, cause you and I just don't do that kind of thing, satin panties excepted.

Oh and by the way, I disagree with everything that you ever said on this forum...(big JK here)

love ya man,
Basso

PS: LisaLM, what shameless grandstanding...is there nothing you won't do to get my attention. I already think you are the bees knees, and elbows.

Wolvy and Morris_M,

Don't even think about leaving right now, it would just be too traumatic to lose anymore people right now. I am afraid you two will have to wait a bit, lol.

Suzi, good thing that you have no intention of leaving you are like the surgeon general here. If you left, I am afraid that we would have to go to Doctors for medical advice. SO much better to get advice from Nurse Suzi (who knows more anyway).

And Basso...looks like you came back for a visit just in the nick of time, as you are the community humorist.

ristinaL91 ..missing Bill already!
