My 2000th post......

.........but I have nothing much to say, except:

Isn't Wiki great???? The community spirit on this site really is a joy to behold. Well done to all the peeps for making this place so wonderful .

The best thing about Wiki is watching how people recover, grow and then leave us in good cheer looking forward to their future, after arriving here in such a dark place. The only thing I can liken it to is watching a caterpillar change into a butterfly and soar away (although there are some we simply can't get rid of ). To any newbies reading this you may not believe that you will become a butterfly and fly away happily, but trust me, you will.

Particular mention and thanks have to go to Sera, Had, Fiona, Zara 2008, Mike62 and Mike 100468 for their hundreds and hundreds of very very helpful posts, and to all the others who freely give their knowledge and support on the forum boards, and in the chat room, especially to the people who come in there in something of a mess, but leave with a huge wiki grin .

And of course a thanks to Team Wiki, who keep the place running and make it a safe enviroment for everyone.

Oh, and here is one of my fave lawyer jokes:

A couple were on their way to their wedding and sadly were involved in a fatal car crash. On arriving at the Pearly Gates they are asked to wait in a queue to be seen. Whilst waiting they realise that they are very disappointed at having missed the opportunity to marry and wonder if they could get married in Heaven.

When it is their turn to register they ask St Peter if they could marry in Heaven. St Peter is dumbfounded and says "I don't know, no one has ever asked that before, if you wait here I'll go and find out for you".

The couple sit back down to wait. After two months sitting on their bench they begin to re-examine the question again. "Should we get married?", "what if it doesn't work out?", "with the eternal nature of Heaven would we have to stay married forever?", "could we get a divorce?"

They decide that they will ask St Peter and continue to wait for another month for his return.

After a three month wait St Peter finally returns looking excited and says "Good news you can marry in Heaven!" The couple reply by saying that they had had lots of time to think about it and were unsure if they in fact wanted to marry. They were worried about eternity, so they asked "can we divorce in Heaven?"

St Peter goes red in the face and looks very tense. "What is it?" the couple asks. St Peter throws his clip board down on the floor and shouts "Oh COME ON! Now you are just taking the mickey. It took me three months to find a priest up here. Do you have any idea how long it would take me to find a Lawyer?"


Take care all

Amanda

Just wanted to say that you have been excellent and so has this site.

It has helped me greatly, I have never be in chat and one day may well try it but to be honest I am kinda hoping that I am in the pupa stage of the life of a butterfly and really just waiting for the paperwork before I can fly!

Congratulations on your 2000th post Amanda.

You have been a star for so many on here - even despite your own troubles.

Long may you continue to shine.

(and thank you for the kind mention )
