Tedd, you asked me the other day if I had been scared off Newsvine, the answer was no. I am spending my time with a couple groups, Caregivers & Altruism two things I practice in my life. the political arena while fun takes too much time and the other two are much more important to me. Hopefully my efforts there will lead to more people practicing these selfless acts of giving in their own communities. Thanks for being the go to guy when I have a problem here on the vine. Boy that woman who I filed under stalker was a trip. Felt sorry for her and that led into more bull.

Howdy Tedd,
Just wanted to say thanks for being such a great guy. You've been so nice and welcoming. I'm glad every time I see your comments because I know that, by reading them, my day will get a little better. I actually feel like I could rely on you if I needed, though we've never even met. To me, that says the most about how great you are.
