Being new here, Tuba is a complete mystery to me. I only know that she’s the one with all the secret codes, and that she knows where all the bodies are buried. I hope things will be copacetic soon, Tuba. ---

**TubaDiva** , We appreciate all your hard work. I’ll take a cue from **wring** , and show my support by **not** posting every lame joke that pops into my head. Best wishes. ---

**TubaDiva** is awesome! I requested that I change my UserName and she was nice enough to change it for me. Not only that, but she changed it within the same hour I originally requested the change. How is thet for nice? I hope that everything turns out ok for her. ---

Tubadiva spelled backwards is: Avid a But. This says it all, yet remains perfectly vague,like the Weekly World News and most of my posts. Hang in there and stiff upper lip! ---

**Tuba** ’s long been tops in my book. If there’s anything the Teeming Millions can offer, even if it’s nothing more than good thoughts directed her way, I’m sure we’ll all come through for her. Best wishes. ---

I’ve thought Jenny (TubaDiva) was the tops since the AOL days. One of the biggest reasons I enjoy this message board is that most of the real idiocy gets cut off fairly quickly. Tuba, Lynn, Euty, and the other mods and administrators are the prime reason for this. Tuba, I have no idea what the problems or troubles are, but our good thoughts are with you and yours. Ugly ---

Amen! **Tuba’s** a fair, funny, genuinely _good_ person, who incidentally does a staggering amount of routine heavy lifting around here. Take as much time as you need, **Tuba**. First and foremost, take care of _yourself_ for a change. Here’s wishing all you the strength, comfort and peace of mind going. Veb ---

Tuba, You embody what is greatest and noblest about SDMB. While the rest of us stew and fret over trivial concerns, you bear our weight upon your precious shoulders. When we misbehave, you correct us. When we mourn, you comfort us. When we need a word of affirmation, you give it to us. Without you, this would be a cold, dank, and dreary place. Your heart is loving, kind, and gentle. Your spirit is strong, resolute, and enduring. Your judgment is just, honest, and fair. You bring goodness, reason, and uplifting hope to everything you touch. I, for one, would still be suffering in emotional anguish were it not for your kind and encouraging words. How unselfish and caring of you to take the time to wish me well and assist me when I needed it most! Whatever trials you are enduring, if you see fit to share them, know that we will gladly endure them with you, and if at all possible, do what we can to lighten the load you bear. We don’t deserve you, yet God has graced us with you all the same. We owe you more than we can ever pay, so please accept our love, our gratitude, and our boundless admiration of you. God go with you always. Lib ---
