Was passing by and thought I would say hey. Hope all are well around here. :)
I respect those who are willing to speak what they believe and not follow the crowd.
I respect those who are able to accept that we will not all agree and are mature enough to allow a difference of opinion without making it their call in life to convince us that there is only one correct way.
I respect those who teach us how to fly and then step back and allow us to chart our own course. And if we fail, they gently pick us up, dust us off and encourage us to soar once again.


The way we choose to respond when others make mistakes can cause them to feel ashamed or can allow them to remember our kindness and share our stories with future generations.

Hi Kara;

Hope all is well. Thanks for stopping by.

There are a few of us still sticking around keeping the dust from collecting. :)


I have been over to the facebook page. But honsetly I do not like it. There is no way to seperate the post by category like here on the forum. No Searching. I'm sure I'm missing some valuable information, but just do not have the time to wade through pages of posts and expand every topic to read collapsed comments.

I would like to see the other regulars to come back over to the fourm, I learned so much from everyone. To me it felt more welcoming than FB.

I know some of the folks feel Mpix is making it hard for newcomers to find the fourm, but honestly I see newcomers joining and most companies are moving all of thier Social Media links to the Blog sections. I'm not sure how newcommers are suppose to find the facebook page since its by inventation only. :(


Anyway Thanks again for stopping buy. Maybe you can get some of the others to come back.

I know I wouldn't be able to find the forum had I not saved the link. I have no idea how to find it from the mpix home page. I wonder if that was what happened to a lot of people.

I still miss the conversation here. It is so much easier to follow subjects & catch up with out having to scroll through a bunch of unrelated posts, especially if you are not on every day..

boring. Not that main FB counterpart is better. It somehow became place to whine or vent.

This is the first time I have been on the forum in 3-4 weeks. Just nothing going on here any more.

I haven't checked this forum in a while. It is SO quiet. Wish it would pick back up. Hello, Kara!

Thanks for the hellos... Sounds like we are all much the same... This place just isn't what it used to be. In my opinion this place started going down hill when following rules became more important than being yourself and letting others be themselves. LOL...geesh... and I thought my bitterness about that was gone... and life goes on... it's all good... maybe someday it will recycle back to the wonderful place it started out as.

I don't think the following rules thing was bad...... it is just that certain members didn't think the rules applied to them. Then there were those that weren't happy unless they were stirring up a fight....
