Hi, I realized last evening that I have been on this forum a little too much and have been using the forum to "vent" which sometimes has led to discussions that get "off the topic" of what the thread was intended for. I am sorry for that.

First of all, I want to thank each and everyone of you for contributing to a move that has been a long, difficult and oftentimes stressful move. This forum has been of great value and I certainly cannot leave here without telling everyone how much I appreciate all their help and direction in the last several months.

And secondly, I just want to apologize for offending anyone with my own opinions, disappointments or statements in regards to different issues that I have experienced in Tulsa. I probably should have been on a different web-site talking about my personal opinions because I have become someone that is annoying to many and often times offensive in the way I have related my frustrations to you. Please believe me when I say that I have never intended to offend anyone here and I appreciate the fact that many of you are natives to Oklahoma and you love it here. I think that is a good thing and I don't want to ruin or taint that opinion with my own views and comparisons. So please forgive me for causing any bad feelings.

With all this in mind I want to say "goodbye". I have decided to back away from the Tulsa forum. I really feel that for certain people even the appearance of my name on this particular forum brings them stress. Therefore, I would love to receive private messages if you wish to do so but I will not be posting here again. I will post on different forums where I feel I can help, encourage, direct and share with others in a more positive manner and where my name is less threatening.

Again, I apologize for allowing my views and opinions to upset certain people... May you enjoy this forum and have a nice week/weekend... and please not take this personal...it isn't anyones fault that I have chosen to leave. I leave on my own accord... Thanks again.

Raelyn, "goodbye posts" are really not allowed, but I understand that you're still going to be hanging out in other forums of CD so it shouldn't be a problem.

Sometimes the written word is hard to understand and that often causes confusion and hard feelings. Believe me~sometimes the spoken word is even hard for me to grasp at times.

You made a long move and it was a move that wasn't a chosen one. I'm sorry that was the situation and it can't be easy. I know there are many things you like about your new area and I wish you the best. I think your "thank you" to the OK members was very gracious of you.

I'm sorry that you're backing off the OK forum for a bit, but there are many sections on CD and we'll bump into each other.

My DM door is always open, too.

I've always enjoyed your posts, and if there are people out there that have said differently then please disregard them! Don't go, please stay and keep posting! This forum gets pretty boring at times, things need spiced up time to time.

We all disagree one some point at one time or another. In time you will learn which people just disagree with you all the time and you learn to ignore them.

There are plenty of good people here on the okie forum who enjoy your posts, so don't leave on account of a few who don't.

OTOH, there are a lot of good forums on CDF. Try checking them out. There are some good people here who have been around for a long time and good friendships are made.

Jammie, is your DM welcome mat out for the rest of us too?

(Jammie throwing the door wide open) Come on in, everyone.

Yes, my door is open to all of you. (Bring food though.)

I was hoping we'd be invited to Raelyn's housewarming party, but my invitation must've gotten lost.

She said sorry about her attitude but still hasnt said anything positive about her new city. Unless I missed it somewhere? She isnt saying things are good shes saying sorry I cant say positive things so I guess I cant say anything at all. Like they say "if you cant say something nice dont say anything at all"

That's unfair. She is reaching out to people here and thanking them and gets slapped in the face? Where's all that Southern hospitality and manners I always read about?
