Hi Carima!   I was looking for a little comfort today actually, and thought of this board.  I spent Christmas day in pain and the day after Christmas in the emergency room due to the pain.  Luckily, it turns out to be a spinal disc problem and possible bursitis, nothing dire. 

I have tried other boards on Media Domain, but none ever were like this one, due to the caring posters and the fun times we had discussing the show and personal topics - all of it.  This was my first home on the internet, a place to come to where I felt relaxed and happy.    Yes, it wasn't perfect, but it was the most perfect public board I ever found.  I grew disheartened when so many left.  Then I left too.   I will never forget the support I received when my mom passed.  

Carolyn - if you are there, I miss you!    I wish we all could revive this board, but I know that won't happen.    But the memories are still as sweet!

Merry Christmas and a super New Year to one and all!

Hi

Hi Elaine, I'm sorry to hear you weren't feeling well, but I am so happy to hear from you. I remember when you did my horoscope for my birthday; it was pretty much on point. We did have a lot of fun on this board with Carolyn, Prozgrl and all the rest. Everyone kind of looked out for each other. Oh well, I guess this is what they mean about the good old days.

Hi Carima! I enjoyed doing the astronanalyses. Unfortunately, I think I lost my touch, because I don't seem to have the success I once had doing them. Maybe this board was magic inducing. If only we were able to prevent Another World from leaving the air. I've lost Carolyn's email or I would try and get in touch with her - maybe she will peek in here! Maybe we should do one topic per week, lol. Or month! But you are right - they are wonderful memories. Elaine/eom

Hi Elaine! Sorry to hear about your pain but know you will get through it. You have such a strong spirit. It was not too long ago that I was reading through a post that I have saved from the day following the announcement of the cancellation. You may remember it. It was written by Danny and it was his open letter to P&G recalling how he first remembered watching it on the tv in the Sears & Roebuck. I, too, miss the days of that old board. I wonder how Danny, kibbles, you, and so many others are doing. I see a few posting here and there on other MD boards. I am now watching ATWT and occassionally post over there, but they can be quite cruel on that board sometimes. We were definately spoiled by our AW bunch. Hope 2009 brings good things for you.

Hi Tanya! It is so nice to see you and thank you for your encouragement. Yes, I remember the letter from Danny. I wish I had saved it. It was a masterpiece! I was in touch with kibbles, but not much any longer as he has moved on. I used to be able to remember all of the names from that time, but I can't recall all of them any longer. Danny though was a stand-out with such a kind soul. It is so nice to see you again. At least we can stop by now and again and catch up. It was nice that MG kept the AW board active. I would love to hear from Carolyn again - she was the mom of this board without a doubt, the first one to welcome newbies, like me! I wish you a very happy and healthy New Year, Tanya! ElaineJ/eom
