I don't do as much as everyone else anymore because of my job. However what I do manage to do is a very important part.  :thumbup;   Thanks to all the people who touch this board daily, for without them the motivation to go forward would simply not be there sometimes.

A BIG THANK YOU to EVERYONE.  Special thanks to Fludgebunny and Okarol for their perseverance in taking Epoman's vision and running with it.  More thanks to my fellow moderators, especially recently when circumstances meant that I was not functioning as I would have like.
Thanks to all you regular posters who assist in keeping this dream alive.

I am looking forward to 2011!!

I love IHD.  I have had a rough year and have not been on as much as I usually am.

I want to say thanks to the the Admins for not firing me this year as a Moderator.  They are amazingly supportive!

To the other Mods- Thanks for the support and encouragement when I was down and out this year.

2011 will be a better year!

Thank you IHD for a site where I can find help, vent out my problems and being my second family. I want to also thank Epoman for starting this site where we can be like family with others who are afflicted with this dreadful disease. Finally I want to thank Sluff and his gang of moderators in keeping IHD running in great condition.

If it weren't for Okarol and Sluff, we would all be out of luck.  The are the backbone and keep this site running smoothly.  They take such good care of everyone.  And they are very supportive when each of us have had to take some time away.  I can never thank them enough for all they do.  I never thought I could make such incredible friends online.  It changed my life when I found IHD.    :cuddle;
