Stepping down as moderator, but I'll still be here
« on: January 09, 2014, 12:50:45 pm »
My dears,

As much as I have enjoyed moderating this forum, my husband's health has taken a serious turn for the worse and I need to step down, to focus on him. We've been in and out of the emergency room and seeing pain specialists trying to bring high-level, non-stop, agonizing pain under control that has no apparent cause. He's been through serious health issues before and made it through, but this one has really taken him out. It's been a very rough ride for months now and we are still no closer to any kind of relief.

I will still be on the forum and will still participate in discussions, but I will no longer be on call to delete spam or moderate discussions. Dontbe has said that he will moderate for the time being. You can help out by reporting spam when you see it and keeping the conversations civil.

It's been wonderful being able to serve this forum, I've loved every minute. Please keep my Bob in your positive thoughts and prayers.

-Claire aka talesofthesevenseas

Claire, words are not enough to express…

I am so sorry that Bob is having such challenges and in turn, you are as well.  Will definitely keep you both in our prayers.

You have been an excellent moderator and should be in a "Moderator Hall of Fame"! 

So glad to hear that you will still frequent the site when possible.  It has been sad over the years when we have lost long-time members to health issues.  (Still miss Dwayne D&B and a few others)

Take care and know that your forum family is here for you!

Count me among those who'll miss your participation as a moderator here on the forum , talesofthesevenseas .

I think you've really helped make this a better place to all who visit/live here !

Would that we could , we'd wave the majic wand to cure the ills that Bob has been experiencing , with no hesitating .

I am happy for Bob , in that he's got you to be beside him with your loving & caring countenance to rely upon .

Y'all are in my thoughts & prayers too , along with all your other friends & supporters here on the forum , Claire .

Clair is an awesome Moderator.. And much too young to have to experience family health issues like this. I pray that her Husband's health comes back quickly and his pain subsides, so they can go on with their awesome lives that we have read some about in the last couple years.

Our thoughts are with you Claire.. we are looking forward to your return sooner than later, In that that will indicate good famlial health. :)

Take care.

regards, Ed Elser

Oh no, you will be missed. I remember when you took the job. It will be hard to get used to someone else. Hope you will still visit.

That's why my husband calls me dingy. I got so used to tales. It will be strange without her. You will be in my prayers. Wish Bob our best.

Claire, there are no better hands for Bob to be in the care of. Your strength, determination and infinite capacity to find answers where there appeared to be none will see you both through this. Know that so many here are of the same mind …… we will all miss your endearing presence, but know you need to be with Bob as much he needs you beside him. My heart and prayers are with you both.
