Title: Thank you very much everyone!
Post by: tinkerbell on April 17, 2009, 07:07:37 PM
During the three years I have been here, I have developed a great appreciation for this site and the people who form part of it, and as a result I have come to feel Susan's Place like my second home.  However, there comes a time when things change, and our mindsets change along with them, and it is then when we must move on with our lives to pursue our dreams.   

I have enjoyed my stay here very much, and I appreciate having had the opportunity to know all of you. Hence, it's with great sadness that I inform you that I'm leaving Susan's and deleting my account. My wings are fully grown now, and I need to fly, for the blue skies await... :)

I would like to thank Susan and the rest of the staff for the confidence and trust they have shown me during these three years as a moderator of this site.  Thank you so very much. It has been a real privilege to be here.  I take with me precious and fun memories.

I would also like to thank the rest of the members for having put up with me all this time.  It has been wonderful to meet all of you and learn from your experiences.  To Cindi Jones, Nichole, Kristi, Karen, Kate, Chynna, Nero, Beth, Alice...I love you all.  I'll miss you and think of you often.   

Thank you, everyone, very much for the wonderful times, the lessons, the reality checks, and everything else.  I wish you the very best of luck in your future endeavors!  May you find all the happiness you deserve! :) 

Love always, 


tink :icon_chick:

Tink, there's going to be a big void on the boards were you once were. Thanks for being such a wonderful presence here and wherever you go. ;)

I will miss you, Hon.  :-\ :'(

Good luck with your new wings.  You have been one of those I have looked up to.  Enjoy your life my dear Sister.

May the gods bless you with happiness, peace and love.

Blessed Be,

Farewell, Best Wishes, Brightest Blessings, Peace.

It was nice to have made your aquaintance.
I'm one of the quiet ones here, but Tink was everywhere, like magick :)

Tink,
I really wish you all of the best. I was hoping you'd be around for my "It's a Girl" posting that I've been looking forward to but alas, someone else will have to post it :) Thanks for the support you've given me in the two years I've been here :) Meghan

NOOO!  :'(
I'll miss you, but I understand it's time for you to 'just be'. Please keep in touch with me. I really don't know what I would've done without you sometimes. You're a dear, dear friend.

Farewell, my princess, you will be missed.

You are one of the first people who greeted me when I came here and I felt so welcomed.

You have touched so many hearts and souls.

May love illuminate your path, forever.

Tink we will indeed miss you. You are entitled to retired staff status but since you asked me to delete your account I will do so. But, if you ever want to come back you can just pm me and we can either re-add you to staff, or set you as retired staff which ever you prefer.

Post by: NicholeW. on April 18, 2009, 05:28:16 AM
Hello, my friend.

Yes, I'll miss you here, but you know you'll always be close, at the very least, somewhere deep in my heart.

Nests need rebuilding in new trees and wings need using. :)

As always, much, much love,

Nichole

Awwww, Tink.  You were one of the very first people I met here, and I hold you in high esteem.

As they say about retiring from the Navy:  It's not a matter of 'if,' but 'when.'  Funny, but I've been with the Navy in one form or another for 53 years.  So we may see you back here after awhile.   8)

I have a sore spot in my heart tonight.

Like others say your presence on the boards will be missed.

Take Care Tink. I hope whatever you choose to do you will have luck on your side.

How did I miss this post? I'm so sorry Tink, and I hope Chris passes this on. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort in helping these boards run smoothly. Sorry things didn't work out to meet up when I was in your area, but hopefully some day I'll get to gaze upon your beauty :)

Happy flying,

Dennis

apparently I've been gone too much. Nero is about to sprout hair on his chest and Tink has flown away.

I'll miss you, Tink. I really appreciate your point of view.

Post by: cindybc on April 25, 2009, 12:52:06 PM
Hi Tink I know this might be a little late and I could kick myself for not having been around much lately and missed your leaving.

Anyway I pray that all goes well with you sweets, and I sincerely mean that. You have become like a sister to me in the past couple of years, someone to look up to. I enjoyed reading your blog and I will miss it.

But I am happy for you and Chris. you two were a match made in Never Never Land and I do pray nothing ever changes that. I'm 63 years old and still believe in fairies. :D I also do pray that our tea engagement in SF this summer is still withstanding.

Feel free to email me when ever you wish.
I know your not around to read this but I believe we have a special friend who will.

Tink, I'm happy that you wish to live an independent life away from the trans community. That's my plan too.  So long & good luck :icon_wave:

Post by: Michelle. on April 26, 2009, 02:03:52 AM
Tink you were amongst the first to welcome me too Susans when I posted my "intro" thread.

I hope you fly far, free and well.

But if need be I'll make sure no one takes over your old nest here at Susans'.

Am I allowed that far up into the tree? ;D

I had just come looking for you to tell you I had watched A.I. finally and absolutely loved it.
