For shits & giggles, I decided to go back and search for some of my very first posts on this board. Jesus on ice skates, I was so clueless!  

I know it's been less than 5 months since then, and I still have a lot to learn, but I feel like I've come miles from where I was back in December, and I owe it all to this board.  

I guess the point of this post is just to thank you all. I'm sure I'll continue to make some rookie mistakes, but because of how much y'all have educated me, it won't be anything major. Your advice may very well have saved my life. So thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.  

Love,
Tobi

That's what keeps our community (or "secret society" as I call it) going strong.
Whether here, the general board, or on your local board - you will always find people willing to help.
That's what I like most about TER (well, actually, to be honest, I love meeting gorgeous ladies!!!) LOL!

Shit, I almost feel bad using the word "hooker" to reference your skill set lol. It's so nice to see someone not make many life altering mistakes many of us made. I could not be happier that you've come into your own, and are a strong presence on TER.

We are better off helping each other.

Goes against what Christian Bale says in the first of the Batman reboots, but it's something I feel.  A genuine good person is just that. What they do doesn't change who they are.  It's something I've come to learn firsthand as well, but I won't go into that.

So glad that we, myself and my highly unpaid assistants, were able to help you in your endeavors in our favorite hobby.  Just so you know, regardless of how long we have been at this, we are all still learning from each other.  That's why I like this forum so much, and also why admin made me it's moderator and then it's host.

Please keep coming back here.  Now that you are a 'seasoned vet' of about 5 months, LOL, you can help others and keep them from making some of the boo-boo's you may have made in your early days.
