NO BRIBES?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :urcrazy;

5!!!My lucky number.
Thank you all who work so hard to keep this site up and running. It has touched many lives in such a positive way.
-
Congratulations on the five years! So glad that the site is going strong. What a wonderful place for support and knowledge. Well done!
-
NO BRIBES?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :urcrazy;
I dunno... premium membership got me thinkin... might have to put my limerising hat on. Hmm.
there was a middle aged bird from oz
who pushed out a limerick becoz
she wanted to spare her hip
pocket the price of premium membership
but thats self defeating really because the good thing about premium membership is that your supporting IHD not the other way around. So she'll have to eye off the tshirts and totebags instead.
hmm.. that one didn't come out the way I planned.... for a start the last line is too long.
-
NO BRIBES?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :urcrazy;
The "bribe" (well threat actually) is to submit an entry or ELSE I'll do a nudie run.... or maybe even FIVE!!!!!! :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

WOW, what an astonishing growth rate that is!!!! And, understandably. I think I would rather go without brushing my teeth one whole day than miss one day of reading the posts. Erm, well, maybe not a WHOLE day.

Peritoneal dialysis,
Is, in the final analysis,
Good for the blood.
It gets rid of the crud.
And it won't ever cause you paralysis.
There once was a gal on PD
Who said to her friends, "Look at me!
I have this machine
That makes my blood clean
And now I never have to pee!"
Happy
Anniversary!

I think that what Epoman started and what all of you Admins & Mods are continuing is one of the best gifts to people struggling with CKD that anyone could hope for.
Medical Professionals are working and researching better ways to keep us alive (we always hope), but it is in the peer to peer support that we can help each other really live with CKD5.
Thank you, and Happy Birthday IHD!!!
-
:yahoo; Congrats :yahoo;
I can say I love this site. Thank you epoman for starting it. This place is awesome. Thanks to all who help run it.

Keep up the good work. More forums like this are needed,

When I thought I was all alone in the world, I discovered IHD while playing on the internet oneday. Thank goodness for IHD.
Happy 5th Anniversary.
-
This is SO emotional for me. I am weeping as I type. This will be nearly 5 years for me on IHD (I joined the September) and nearly 5 years on dialysis. I cannot quantify what IHD meant to me then and what it means for me now.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IHD!!!!!!! :birthday; :birthday; :birthday; :birthday; :birthday;
-
5 years :2thumbsup; Where would my emotional health be if I hadn't found IHD? There is so much I wouldn't know about if I were only getting information from my neph. Truly, IHD changed my life. I am a much better patient, I cope with things in a better way, and I continue to learn that I am not alone or crazy. Restless legs is real. Throwing up is real. Insomnia is real. Depression is real. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. Everything is easier when we can lean on each other. A special thank you to Sluff for taking Epoman's vision and keeping it alive. You have done an exeptional job and we love you. Also to Okarol, who spends countless hours to make this the best site on the internet. If the two of you hadn't stepped up when we lost Epoman, we could have lost this whole community. Thank you to each member who make IHD what it is. My heart is full with love and respect for each of you.
Happy Birthday IHD!! :yahoo; :clap; :2thumbsup;
-
aww, what wonderful posts... (paris, so true!) Of all my hubbys issues, and boards i've searched, this is thee one i've stuck with to learn, to calm, and to participate in. It's an amazing road this dialysis, and you all have made the bumps a much smoother ride. thanks to all who have given their hearts and time to help us all. It has surly been a blessing... :yahoo; :2thumbsup; :clap; ;D :grouphug; :thx; and............. a big :boxing; to kidney disease hehe

Happy 5th Birthday IHD!
:yahoo;
Epoman and Goffynina are dancing ! :bandance;
-
And a very happy 5th birthday from me!

Sorry ladies, I talked to youtube and they denied my video on the grounds of gross indecency and the fact that their reviewer was taken to the ER shortly after viewing my nudie run. I tried to plead that it was for such a good cause of such a noble and worthy site, but they said in the interests of the public health and mental wellbeing they just couldn't put it up......
-
Karol is truly the one who deserves most of the credit for keeping the forum alive. I have been driving truck for a year now and am lucky to have time to get on here and post. The vision and my motivation are still very much alive but I must confess that Karol carries much of the weight these days. So thank you Karol.
Thank you to the moderators also for if it were not for you, the admins would not have time enough in the day to do what we have to do.
Members without you we wouldn't exist, thank you and the most important thing you can do to help is to post often and welcome the new people to the board and spread the word at your clinic.
Pretty soon we will be getting ready for another holiday gift exchange so get your post count up now in order to be able to take part in this years gift exchange. Next year we are having a huge get together also so start saving your pennies now!
I truly love you all
Sluff/Admin
