Darlings, I just wanted to let you know that I handed in my Moderator Hat yesterday.
People (family, psychiatrists, etc) have been telling me to quit for AGES so I can "get a life", but I've always felt guilty about quitting. Until now.
I was lying in bed the other night thinking, "I don't want to do this anymore." And then, "HEY! I can quit! I have free will!"

I feel deliciously light and care-free. Now I can be normal like the rest of you. I'm even considering losing some weight.

Anyhow, thank you to so many of you for all the help you gave to me and to others while I was modding. You helped to make the job fun and easy, and I'm grateful.

Yeah, so anyhow... I'm still here, but don't bother me with your questions, eh? I'll give you love and hugs, but please reserve the queries for Sweet Harpo or some other Dear Mod.

Thanks again, girls.

Here's to a happy, well-deserved retirement. Cheers!!!

I'm happy that you've made a tough decision to do what is right for you!
You deserve to "feel deliciously light and care-free"!!!!

You have been my favorite moderator and a wonderful, kind, inspiring and lovely person! Thanks for all you've done to make CIC a wonderful forum!

I'll see you around the boards!!!
