Message for Irish

[Katybarstool]

Irish,

I am deeply saddened that you do not feel valued. Since joining this wonderful community a couple of months ago, you have given me some wonderful advice. You are a very knowledgeable and insightful person, who always does her best for our sjoggie family.

Please reconsider. I would be delighted if you would send me a private message, so that I have your contact details.

God bless
Kathy

I am no good at technology and cannot find where Irish talks about leaving.

Like Kathy I would be sad to see Irish go, I would not want to pressure anyone, we all know that sometimes we need in the short term to put ourselves first so that in the long term we can still be here for others.

I never found Irish a gushy person, direct and informative are the words that come to mind, so I do not want to come over all gushy and embarrass her, but in the short time I have been a member I have found her advice excellent and will really miss her.

On a purely personal note I would like to say to Irish that if I have not responded to your posts to me it was only because your direct informative style made me think you were not looking to be chatty not because I did not value your input, I really did.

I hope Irish will be able to chat with us all again soon

Thanks folks for the nice input. I have to tell you that I mis-spoke when I was writing that post. I meant to say I would not be responding on that thread anymore but I used the word site which implied that I was leaving.

Sorry about the confusion. I don't plan on leaving at this time. I would hope that I am not in enough trouble to make everyone mad. I am not a gushy person and you are right, I am pretty direct and to the point. I like to lay the cards on the table. It doesn't do much good to tip-toe around some issues. I have a very soft and sensitive spot and was extremely sensitive when I was younger.

I learned over the years that being so sensitive did not bode well when it came to getting along in the world. I had to raise 3 boys on a hobby farm plus work plus lots of extra chores etc and had a husband that was gone at least 18 days a month if not more. I had to grow up fast as it was sinks or swim. That may make me sound "hard as nails" but I am not.

I also want all of you to know that I made a mistake in posting that long message to faithful in front of the public. I should have done it on the personal message site. The only thing I can say is I did not think of it at the time as I never email anyone on this site except when they send an email to me first reqwesting info etc. I plan to email faithful if it is still possible. If not somehow, someone may be able to let her know that I would like to get in contact with her. Thanks again. Irish

Whew!  This subject made my heart go pitter-patter-whosh!  Irish, we couldn't do without you.  I missed everything but I'm just so glad you are staying.

Irish -

I have no idea what this is all about, but I do want you to know that back  in 2005 when I first found this board (at the old site) you made an enormous  difference in my life.  I will always be grateful to you for that.  You were a Moderator back then.

I got the pitter-patter too!  Since I have no idea what happened either I just want to tell you...

"Irish, you were one of the first people I met here. Your kindness and warmth meant more than you will ever know."

Love ya kid!
