Title: The New Forum
Post by: Ric Wilke on June 18, 2006, 10:49:50 pm

Dearest Forum Friends,

I am overwhelmed by the number of new threads posted since we merged with Poz.  I simply can not keep up with everything being posted.  I try to read everything but get lost.  This site has become wonderfully huge.

We have become a huge family of people that have something in common.  HIV/AIDS is not a pleasant thing to live with but we are all thriving with this virus.  We are all surveyors.

Bless us all, Ric

Yep, things are busy around here and I recognized quite awhile back I wasn't ever going to be able to keep up with reading all the posts.  But you're right, we are one huge family and our strength lies therein.

And Ric, fortunately there is no comprehensive final written test on entries here. So just get to whatever you can.

Always good to hear from you.

Cheers,

Hey Ric,

Oh boy have we grown...so many more new people to keep up with.  I find it overwhelming also.  Trying to keep up -- impossible.  I guess we just have to do what we can, post when we have time and reach out just like we always did...

I took a short hiatus from the forums recently because I couldn't keep up with everyone and there were just too many new people at all once.  It kind of threw me for a loop.  Plus, the fact that I had my own issues to deal with and come to terms with recently, I shied away from the forums fearing that I wouldn't be much support or help to anyone.  But, since I'm in a better frame of mind now, I look forward to getting to know the new comers, make new friends, as well as strengthen the bonds with the friends I already made here.  We just have to make the best of it...and that's what I intend to do.  I'm learning to accept the fact that life changes all the time -- these forums are no different and I welcome the bigger picture -- A FAMILY THAT IS GROWING.

HUGS TO YOU ALL (old & new members)

Trish :-*

Hey Ric...I know what you mean, mind boggling!  It's all I can do to scan topics, posted by, and go from there....this could be a full time job, LOL!

I find it analogous of the Clampetts, moving into the fancy new mansion.     ......fancy pot passers, and all. ;)

I totally agree
It's a bit daunting and the same time I get such a rush as new family members sign in. It's like a  daily family reunion that keeps growing.
Thanks Ric for expressing what I've been feeling of late.
