:o Oh, my. I never expected this kind of response. Thank you all so very much for your hugs and kind words. Just knowing you are all here for me is helping my sore heart a great deal.
<too choked up for further words, feeling very cared for, purplebear quietly leaves, as one lone tear of joy slips quietly down her cheek>
PB, you care so much for everyone on this board, why should it surprise you when we care back? You are one of the sweetest, kindest-hearted people I have ever encountered, I don’t think I have ever seen you say a bad thing about anyone. “What goes around, comes around” applies to good things as well as bad. The love you send out into the world comes back to you. Besides, remember I told you my mom is a purple person too, so that makes you even more special to me!
I didn’t feel bad about my multi-post since you deserve all those hugs! In fact, here’s another one for good measure. {{{{{{{purplebear}}}}}}}
Purplebear,
One of the problems of having limited access is that you are always “late” to these threads, unless they get started in the middle of the night.
I do hope that, whatever the situation that has you down is, that the clouds are beginning to fade away, and that your normal good cheer will soon be restored.
And everyone is right–you’ve given so much to others, it’s only fair that the like consideration be returned to you! (I’ve noticed that you’ve always seem to post to the few threads that I’ve started, and said threads are always in support of, or to honor, the few friends I have here. That says a lot, to me at least.)
You have my full support. Though I confess I’m more comfortable with the flirting thing as opposed to the hugging thing (for what it’s worth, I’m the exact opposite in real life).
hey purplebear -
as we both know I hardly know you - but after that lovely flirting - and the fact you’re going to foster my teddybear how can I not wish you all the best and wonderful solutions to everything that is wrong and stressful.
In order not to offend ChiefScott, I didn’t post the smileys I sent you.
After some consideration, I decided to go ahead and give a bear hug anyway. After all, I suppose if you’re a bear (even a purple one) you can take it, especially if you need it.

You are one of the best posters on the board! I’m sorry to hear that you are having a rough time at the moment but if there’s anything we can do you know you can ask! (That doesn’t mean we will actually do it but you can ask! ;)) **(<---- Here’s hoping that ChiefScott is not reading this…)
