I was going cold turkey so I've been reading some of Julia1996's old posts. Perhaps because of her intelligence, her prolific posting and her helpful advice and support for any members who need it, not to mention her encyclopedic knowledge of probably every womanly skill that we aspire to, it is easy to forget that she is only just starting adult life and has not even been a member of Susan's Place for all that long. Even if she never posted anything again, there would still be a wonderful legacy of her wisdom and humour.
Technically, I am a Newbie, although as a guest and sometime member I have been a fan of her posts during most of her membership. It is obvious that she is deservedly one of the most beloved members of Susan's Place. Julia will be having GCS within weeks and there must be so much going on in her mind, in her life, and in the lives of her immediate family. I thought that this might be a good time to start a thread for members wanting to wish her well and to thank her for helping and cheering us up.
Thank you, Julia, for your inimitable wit and wisdom, for frankly sharing your experiences and feelings, and for being there for other members. I wish you well in your coming GCS and all of your future life.
