::Jumping up and giving Colleen a standing ovation:: You go girl. I know that Phil has taught me tons with his posts and at the same time it seems he knows when a laugh is seriously needed by all. We all are hurricane exhausted and if I could get my hands around the eye of this hurricane, I think I would just have to strangle the energy outta her bands. Phil: All I can say to you is thank you for all you do for this board and those of us that need the laugh or the occasional OT. God Bless you, Mike, John, Phil and others that put time and effort in keeping this place up for us to come and learn, find comfort and yea, that laugh. :climbing off soap box: |

To those who posted on my behalf, I cannot thank you all enough...I have just awakened after a very fitful sleep, in part worrying about all you guys down there and in part because today is also a deeply personal one for me. One year ago today, my wife and I split after 10 years of marriage...I won't go into the details, many of you already know this via numerous PMs. Since that time, while my small family has been supportive, emotions are not something we can display all that readily. The most excellent folks who run these boards (Mike, John & Ed), my co-mods Coop & HF, and everyone who posts here have become my family...the support shown last night in the middle of a hurricane on my behalf cannot be sufficiently appreciated... In short, thank you thank you thank you! Not only is today a very trying day personally, but I have to work off-site and won't even have computer access. I'll be back on this evening. Everyone stay safe and god bless! |

I'm sorry I wasn't there to stick up for you, I'll be there next time. The whole divorce thing tell me about it. My parents are divorced too, and it's not pretty. |

DeLandT, I agree with you 100%. LI Phil does a ton of work here....for free to boot. I wish I had more time to devote here but he by far does the job and does it well. I regret I was not on when all this happened and maybe that was for the best but in short..... if you don't like what you see...go elsewhere. Coop |

Yeah.... what they all said.... several times over... The other thing I would say is that when, in the midst of fear, grief, trauma, etc., we can talk about mundane things and even laugh... we are affirming that life does go on... that this too shall pass... and that we are all human.. Thank you, LI Phil... Dee |

Hi I too was unhappy to find out yesterday that someone tore Phil a new one simply because he made post in reference to football scores. In our scaredness, we might have benefitted from having a diversion. I can say he has given me valuable information in the many times of need this season. He was there last year when Isabel was a cat 5 storm threatening the SE coast line. I was a lurker than who on occasion posted unregistered. To those who might be new here need to understand that the longtime posters have developed bonds with one another after going thru several storms together online so it is natural that we talk about our lives and what have you. Last but not least this is a FREE site and those that run it like Phil should be treated with some sort of kindness........... Phil please don't split on the board even though at times it seems you give more to us than your outside of your job life. |
