I love participating on this website in areas that are my favorites. Once in awhile responses to my posts make my whole day or week brighter! Although it's a "Family" website I have little family and DH and I are "loners" by nature(but we found each other! Thank goodness!). What I want to say to the whole website---and I wasn't sure Where to put this thread- is that getting feedback for what I do and so much encouragement when I get so little Elsewhere "live" in my life,is really a godsend for my well being. You people here,if it's a "like" or a comment;Really enhance my life and help keep me going...or Enthused about keeping going!  Today was so fun it brought tears to my eyes but I wanted to give extra thanks to Everyone! for all the help and camaraderie month by month. I don't spent Extra time on the computer,but I sure am addicted to this place to check in daily during any break I give myself or to catch up at night. I So enjoy learning from others here or just hearing about what'sup with their homesteads. I think it's a Good addiction! Many blessings to ALL of you! You make a difference if you know it or not!  -hobby- |

You make a difference if you know it or not! -hobby- I have been wanting to do a post such as this-but never knew quite how to say it as well as where to place it! This really says it for me as well... I "feel" so indebted to Wendy and Melissa... I was over at the "other place" for 3 years and posted maybe 70 times?! I LOVE this place! It really is like an "extended family" per se... It IS so exciting when you log on and see a little balloon with a number inside hanging over "Profile"-isn't it?! I have never been a "socialite", but I feel a tad like one here! And as a bonus-Dear Hubby thinks this is great for me too... He always enjoys hearing what you guys are up to, etc. I'm a bit of a loner in "real" life (I like it that way), but I feel like I have so much in common with a lot of the people here... you guys really mean a lot to me... And yes-I am indeed an addict like hobbitlady... and proud of it! God bless you all! Mari |

I agree wholeheartedly, this is a wonderful place with an amazing group of people. I start my day here and it really gets it off to a good start. You all are a blessing. Thanks hobbitlady for starting this thread. Thanks to Melissa and Wendy for all their hard work in creating this board. Thanks to all of the rest of you for being by friends, mentors, and sounding boards. Blessings to all, Kat

Thank you all for making this a great place. When something "bad" happens it is often hard to see that it is probably for the best. God has a way of bring good out of the various trials in our lives. I happy that people are enjoying the board! I really appreciate all of you and Wendy for doing so much work here.

I'd like to add my sincere thanks to you, Melissa, and to Wendy of course and to anyone else working behind the scenes that make HF a home away from home.

Awe, hobbitlady that was such a sweet thing to share with all of us. I'm with you- this is such a great forum in so many aspects. I love knowing that I can post something as simple as help with a recipe or complicated like- oh my gosh, my hot wire fencing is down and the cows are out- and so many people jump in to offer help, suggestions or just a "like". It is a wonderful community for all of us. |

Greetings All and thank you for embracing my sentiments and wanting to thank Everyone who participates here and makes it such a great place. I wasn't omitting Melissa and Wendy but they have huge thank you threads here already with 100s of posts already (including from me ) and that was why I flavored this one a little different. "On with the show!" Giggle! Hugs everyone! |

Love these posts. I feel the same way too. I was at the other site for years and didn't have that many posts. Over here I 've turned into a real chatterbox. Thanks to everyone who brightens my day. |

Hobby, you said it very well. This is like a family here - and I look forward to coming here each day to visit with all of you. I do have a few close friends in real life, but I probably talk to all of you more than I do them, or even my own family. Just look at my post count if you have any doubts, lol. I never posted this much on the old site. |

Please accept my thanks as well everyone! I'm a newbie to forums of any kind and feel so welcomed here. I thank flowergurl for telling me about this when the other place started getting nuts. It feels like home here and everyone is so supportive and non-judgemental and helpful. Everyone is so positive here and that is really refreshing!
This is truly a special place and you are all special people. I'm blessed to be able to share with you and can't thank Melissa and Wendy enough for making all feel so welcome.
Just like in life, it's the people that make a home!

I also want to add my thanks. I glean tons of knowledge from this site. Plus I need to check every evening to see if I got any notifications?  |
