'Bye

[Wicked Wanda]

I think I should stay away for a while. I seem to care too much what people here say and write and think.
I am too curious not to come back to read what reactions have been posted about what I wrote, but I am not posting for while.
it hurts...

Linda

[jennaflower]

((((((((((((LINDA))))))))))))

I understand.. and I hope that you will return to posting soon... I know that altho I may not respond.. I ALWAYS read what you contribute..

Hugs..

[imaginewithme]

I hate to see you leave.....but I do understand the feeling. There have been times, just yesterday was one as a matter of fact, that I want to leave. But then I realize that I have made friends here too, and this is the way I can see how they are doing. I get too close to people and it's hard to tell how they are coming across when you only have email, chat or posting. I know not everyone likes me, but it's gonna be hard to get that to happen when you're dealing with thousands of people. So I just try to make myself happy.

Just make yourself happy, that's all that matters! Sending you hugs!

[Teddy Bear]

I'm gonna be totally selfish first and say, I will miss you!! Don't go!! :(

But only you know what you're feeling and if you think that going away for a little while will help, then you do what you've got to do. But always remember there are people here who do care for you and value your thoughts and opinions.

Come back when you can. :)

Please PM or IM me any time if you want to talk or rant & rave. :) *huggggs*

[Lilith]

I realize you are mad...but I hope that you are not seriously going to let posts by people who do not know you or care, keep you away from those of us who have cared about you for years. Linda, I get hurt and upset too but in the end, the friends I have made here are worth more than the discomfort of a few posts or opinions that piss me off. A month ago tomorrow someone I loved very much killed himself partly I believe because he felt he could not be just who he was. We loved him exactly for who he was, just like we love you for being you. People can only hurt you if you let them. Avoiding people who love and care about you because others don't have the capacity or interest to be open to your ideals, is in my opinion, a mistake. Plus I'd miss you trying to seduce me :p

[sodaklostsoul]

I'll miss you in chat WW, take care, hope you don't stay away too long. *hugs*

[DallasLiving]

Sorry to hear that you are taking some time off, WW. We haven't seen each other in a little while, but I always enjoyed talking to you when we did. I hope you the best in anything and everything that you do.

(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

[osuche]

Linda -- I too understand...sometimes Pixies and I have a love-hate relationship. I personally enjoy your posts very much....you are an outspoken feminist and very interesting. I hope you do decide to come back, as I enjoy your point of view.

In the meantime, I wish you the best.

[scotzoidman]

Linda...
This is hard for a smartass like me to say out loud...
But I have always loved you & your posts, I love your sexy stories, & I have always respected you for your insistance on living life on your own terms, especially in what I know is a very conservitive envionment...& you should never stop speaking your mind here on any topic...
Please don't go...

[jseal]

Wicked Wanda,

Farewell madam. I shall miss your voice, but I also look forward to your return.

[Catch22]

Welcome to the club. Read for awhile and relax. Then chat to the ones you like and ignore the rest.
There is always a mix and not a lot you can do about it.

Humanity is a sea. Sometimes cream floats by and sometimes shit. You just have to learn to swim under turd!

[nikki1979]

ill miss reading ur posts, and i hope u decide real soon to come back to us (((((((((hugs)))))))) dont ever change and i hope to be readin posts from u real soon


nikki

[thereIam]

Linda, your voice is important here. Whether or not people disagree is irrelevant, your opinions and experiences are valuable to us all. For me personally, each day is an opportunity to experience something different about myself, and about the world at large. You are a part of that experience, and I really enjoy exploring the thoughts that you provoke.

You matter, and I hope to hear you again soon.

[LixyChick]

((((WW))))

We haven't chatted much lately but I've always enjoyed your company in chat and your posts! Whatever you decide...you've friends here who'll miss you and/or always keep a warm seat for you!

*placing a RESERVED sign on WW's chair*

[gekkogecko]

???

[Belial]

I hope your hiatus is brief, WW. You are, and always have been, one of my very favourite Pixies.

*gives you some big warm hugs to keep you comfy while you're away*

((((((((((((((((((WW)))))))))))))))))))

[Loulabelle]

WW,

Please don't stay away......discussion is frank and at times heated here, but you know how well thought of you are.

You know that just because people here don't always agree with you that they respect and like you, so don't let this stop you from being among friends.

We'll miss you

Lou

[BigBear57]

Hon I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do. I always enjoy your thoughts and will miss your spirited posts, of course I'll hope with the others your stay is breif. Hugs.

[WildIrish]

If we all agreed on everything, we'd stop thinking! That you drew criticism and response is an indication of having made people think about their point of view. Not a bad thing at all, if you ask me.


But what do I know? I'm a dumbass. :D

[Irish]

WW---I completely understand your feelings,but you have an obligation!You can't leave me,to be one of the few,that irritates people,by saying what you feel!I'm feeling,alone,already! Irish :jester:

[wrestlemark]

everyone has a point of view debate is the biggest part we all can agree to disagree but noone should ever stop voicing their opinion i've never had a chance to chat w/ you but hope you'll stick it out ....sounds like your well respected :)

[Oldfart]

I've not had a lot to do with you, but the little I have had has been great.

There are always shit-heads who will rain on your parade, but I hope the sunshine of

our little asylum, sorry, forum, will outweigh the negativity.

Most of us here aren't gushy, so I think I speak for many when I say,

"Don't be a stranger, and save a bead for me when I make it to StLoo sometime in

the next 10 years."

There are people here who care for you, sight almost unseen, and hope you'll stay in touch anyway.

[darogle]

I too have to take breaks from here now and then. I just hope your's is a brief one. As those before me have said, I look forward to your posts and your insight. You contribution to the boards has both enlightened and entertained me. I thank you immensly for that. I really do hope to hear back from you soon. Until then, my hugs and best wishes go with you where ever you roam. (((( WW ))))

[lakritze]

I read your post in "Open Marriages." I was think,WOW, here is somebody who thinks just like I do. You always have something interesting to say.Please reconsider or just take a little time off to recoup...then come back as wicked as ever......

[Aqua]

((((WW)))))
Go back and re-read Lilith's post (I will miss you trying to seduce her too) and WI's post (but I'm not a dumbass, I'm a bastard) and you've got my feelings on you taking a hiatus. Obviously you must do what is right for you, but I would strongly encourage you to consider a one day hiatus long enough.

Please know that we will be here with hugs at the ready when you decide to post again.

[wyndhy]

i can undersand the need for a breather. i, too, tend to take things much too personally and even read censure and hate when there wasn't any there. don't let other people's opinions of you change your opinion of yourself. good luck and take care

[Grumble]

WW, I have always liked and respected you for being you. You do whatever you feel is best for you but please come back. Take care (((((((WW))))))))

[Sharni]

*sigh*

Your giving up to easily (not like you at all).....damn if every time someone fucked me off i left...i'd never be here *LOL*

Theres a lot to be said for thick skin...ya get pissed (grrrrrrrrrrrrr)...ya have ya say (fuck you and the horse ya rode in on, errrrr....preferably in PM as the on the boards earns a wrap on the wrist *L*...been there done that)...and ya leave it at that (ignore the dickheads) and then get on with the fun again (many fine friends)

Thats life wether it be Cyber or Real....there will always be someone that gets on your nerves...

Will miss ya WW

[vampeyes]

Just wanted to say that while I can totally understand taking some time off when needed don't let anyone push you away. You are a much loved member here as everyone has affirmed in this thread. You will be missed while you are gone..... :love: So hurry back :daisy:

[Sugarsprinkles]

Dammit, I take a few days off and look what happens!!
Sweetie, if I left everytime someone misunderstood what I was trying to say, or passed judgement on things I've chosen to do with my life, I would have been gone from Pixies long ago. Sure it's frustrating. Especially when you just about stand on your head to explain your point of view and someone just doesn't get or just refuses to even try to get it. Don't let anyone or anything drive you away.
Those of us who know you love you and really don't want you to go. We know you are one of the most honest people here. You hold nothing back......not your opinions nor your "self". If anyone can't or won't understand where you're coming from with your advice or opinions, then ignore them and don't let them hurt you.
We need you here.......you've given so much good advice on sexual matters, not to mention the fantastically sexy stories you've posted. Please reconsider your decision and stick around.

I echo these sentiments and all the other comments as well.
*hugs* and hurry back. :)

Linda


yes girlfriend it hurts, But remember they haven't been in your shoes or in mine so they can't even begin to understand unless they know where you're coming from. If all of us thought the same about everything this would be a boring world we live in. People here are from all walks of life and we have to respect their opinons too hon. Some are more knowlegeable than others on sensitive topics but, remember the more we talk the more people learn. It is OUR history WE are making. Please don't go silent. Let your voice be heard just remember, it's a learning process for all. I totally understand you and where you're coming from. and I'm pleading with you to come back. You are as important to this place as I am. We need you! WE ARE a FAMILY here!
All my love,
Brenda

[huntersgirl]

I hope you don't stay away too long. I always look forward to reading your posts, so come back soon...'K????

[GingerV]

Honstely, sometimes a break is the right answer. I just hope it's not too long, for our sakes. But when it's not fun any more, there's not a lot else to do. Walk away, re-establish equalibrium, toughen up your skin, remind yourself that you don't care what most people thing, and come back to us ready to play.
