Marvelous Mibs Marbles Collectors Zone

Hi Everyone----

I haven't posted on here in so long and I know that some of you think that I have disappeared off the face of the earth! lol

I want to apologize to those of you whose emails I haven't returned. I have had limited access to a computer and when I do, it's on a little netbook and the little keys are hell to type with. I keep making mistakes and having to back up and delete. hehe

Anyway, I have moved to the southeastern coast and have had so much going on that I had to put "marbles" on the back burner. I did not think that it would be this long but since it has, I think that it might be time to "close" this board...............or put it on "hold". I know that when we started this board, it served a much needed purpose for many of us. We were able to come here and talk "marbles" without all the other drama/BS that was going on, on another board that had been "our hang-out". This became a sanctuary of sorts.............for me anyway. Smile

I know that I will be back, as involved as ever.....in marbles.....as I once was...........so with the thought in mind............that we'll be back, I will say, "See ya'll later!" Very Happy

I really have missed many of you and your friendships!

Oh, Oh,

Our sanctuary is sliding into the southeastern coast.

Thank you for the fun place to be. I really enjoy the group that chats on this board.

Fritzie too.

Maybe us Survivor Fans will find another spot to be.

Thanks for everything Lizzy.

See Ya Later!

I'll check into it.

I've had a feeling this was coming. Sad

It was a fun and informative place to come to Lizzy without the usual BS. Your comentary on many aspects of marble collecting is to valuable to loose. Take care and come back soon!
Thanks,

Bob

Completely understand the time thing and marbles on the back burner. I've cut back alot with Job and family stuff keeping me busy. I'd peek in here once in awhile though just to look. Pop in on LOM once in awhile.

Ok, after talking it over with a few folks.......I've decided to just go ahead and keep it open. Smile

It doesn't cost anything for this forum so $$ isn't a consideration...........it was just that I felt that it might be more of an aggravation to some that check in regularly..............to see nothing new posted. But as someone else pointed out to me..............if that aggravates them, well...........hell, let them post something! lol

Also, there is a wealth of information on here still that wouldn't be accessible if I closed the board for posting.

Chris, Steve & myself have been pre-occupied with other things for the last 6 mos. or so and I felt kind of bad about "neglecting" this place....... although this board hasn't ever needed much moderating.

So with Galen offering to help out even more.............I'll just leave it open. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to contact myself or Galen. Of course, if you prefer to talk to Chris (tankgrrl29), I know that she won't mind. hehe But I do know that she doesn't have the time that she used to have to be able to donate to the board now. (Not sure where Steve is or how he and Sandy are doing......anyone know?)

Thanks again everyone! We'll just play it by ear for now, but feel free to post again. Smile
