Very, Very nice Raven.......

It was a steamy,humid,buggy morning...on the Southeast Coast of Georgia. I got up at about 4am and staggered.. coffee cup in hand, cigarette dangling from my lips.. over to the brand new, incredibly intimadating computer.. that I had recently purchased for my business. I DIDNT HAVE A CLUE!!!

I accidently stumbled upon this place called Forum Garden. " Well, I thought, I am a gardener.. what harm could there be in my joining this??? That was around November 2004. The rest is history folks.

I was immediately captivated and enthralled... couldnt believe I was making friends from all over the world. I was not only learning about people.. I was learning about subjects I was totally ignorant about before.

FLASH TO... April 5th 2006 WEEDER ( my preferred name these days) lands in Londons Heathrow airport and is welcomed, hugged, and unconditionally accepted by 15 people.. I have never met before in my life. Not only was my dream of going to England realized... My lifelong belief in the goodness of people and the power of humans reaching out to one another was reinforced.

Raven, Voodoo, Bez, Jackie,Minks, Betty, Chris,Open Mind, Spot, Arnold,Rapunzel, FRED, and the fairy children.... I carry you all around in my heart, and I always will. Thank You for your hospitality... your warmth.. and your opened hearts.

Anastrophe and Tombstone... Thank You for starting such a wonderful place, where anything is possible... dreams are realized...frienships are formed.. and teeth can be cut.... in a safe place..in cyber land. You have my gratitude and my loyalty.

Just like to add my own thanks to Tombstone & Anastrophe.

Forum Garden is a 'Sanctuary', a place for fun, a place to learn and a place where we have made wonderful freindships.

Did you guys ever imagine that your 'creation' would turn out the way it has ?

:) ..THANK YOU BOTH ..

I, also, found this place quite by accident. But I sure have enjoyed my brief time here. I do hope to be able to meet some of you fine folks at some point in time. :driving:

I am but a Newbie, and it seems like you have a great sense of camaraderie.

Guys, even though I was a major thorn in your side for a long time, I agree with all the sentiment here. There's no other forum I've seen anywhere that has the tight-knit family feel that FG does. Ya done good, guys!!! :-4 :-4

My feeling is that it is only the beginning..
