:cheer: me! So happy to have it back.
:cheer:
here!
@Contessa - 🐢 is an emoji on my tablet.
Here too!! :cheer:
I was wondering what you meant at first :doh:
As to hanging around during the server migration, I've found this site valuable enough even without the current updated postings to find it useful. There's lots to digest in the archives. The discusssions of course add the element of how this stuff sticks around and messes up lives.
In a way, though, the gap in postings, in making the site seem more remote, also was eerily reminiscent of parts of my life where, having found some element of relief, understanding, genuine help, etc., it could be yanked away on short order, leaving me with a feeling of abandonment.
Of course this was mechanical and not an intentional happening, but it felt like a form of abandonment on a purely emotional basis. It was almost like a confused sense of having lost something that has struck a chord for me :Idunno:, followed by :bigwink: and :thumbup: feeling now that the forum has returned.
I'm here! :heythere:
I know what you mean by the "confused sense of having lost something", woodsgnome. The migration unluckily coincided with a rather turbulent patch for me, and I really felt it when I didn't have one of my support avenues. But I suppose it just goes to show how big a difference every little piece of help can make.
:grouphug:
I noticed the absence of the site as a sort of loss too.
So it must help me I guess!
Good news really, especially now its back again.
Where is jamesg? Who else isn't around.......?
Cool 3R... well hey I've got one too then🐢. Small things amuse small minds...
SongbirdR... me too. Oh the irony. I had to post regardless, without the support from people on here things would have been much much worse IRL. Still learning.

Call the (bread) rolls? Roll the calls? ;)
Just making sure nobody got lost during the migration....... We still have a few no shows I reckon, hopefully the stragglers will catch up soon.
Its like herding cats!
JamesG had been off for a while before the crash. My understanding is that he is busy with life, which is good!
Glad to "see" you all again :wave:
Really pleased to be back.
