SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE POSTING ABOUT LEAVING PIXIES. IS THE SHIP SINKING? NOT BEING IN ANY LOOPS ALL I KNOW IS IN THE POSTS.

Hate to say it, but get used to it...

It has always been this way and will be this way in the future

People move on, lose interest or whatever their reasons

We may not want them to go...but hey it's their choice!

No sinking ship here.......we are growing at a faster rate than ever and despite the holiday slow down which is typical, from what I have seen, our # of active members, meaning they have visited or posted in the past 4 months ( people's web behavior seems to run in predictable patterns) is climbing as well.

People often get busy with the demands the real world places on them :( and sometimes they just get too busy. If we are lucky they keep in touch or pop in from time to time.

Other have left with hurt feelings, something that can not always be controlled, although many of us try. In a community of nearly 15,000 people there are bound to be erruptions.....and like volcanoes they sprinkle debris and ash on everyone they touch, every one who cares enough to have gotten close.

Nothing makes me sadder than when someone feels they need to leave but I have learned that everyone has to make their own choices and be responsible for those choices. The only thing we can do is remind them that we care about them, hope they choose to come back (at least to visit), and wish them well.

Afterall one of the greatest things about Pixies is the way we support everyone in the decisions and choices they make in their lives.

Wow, Lilith!

That was very poignant...

(-well put-)

Beauty and brains -the ultimate one/two punch.

Wynonna Judd once said, "I'm the person who will tell you if you need a breath mint"!

At Pixies.....I feel I am that person too!

dzbuster.........You don't need a mint! You are as fresh as the morning breeze! I don't get to reply to you often.......but I read your posts and replies all the time and you are indeed a breath of fresh air!
