I want to wish a happy Thanksgiving to everyone on the Board. Furthermore, I want to give thanks for all the great people I have met vicariously or by telephone or in person through the Board and the candidate process. I have formed a bond of camaraderie and shared experience with many of you. Also, i am thankful to ALJD and others who have set up this Board so we can meet and share our knowledge and experiences. I hope all of you have a safe and wonderful holiday.  |

After all, on a daily basis...
We gather together to ask Judge Bice's blessing.
Thanks for being such a great group of friends and colleagues,
Cheesy

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. And remember, it is poor form to check the Board during dinner. Wait until everyone's in a food coma afterwards. I'll be giving extra thanks for good people on this Board and elsewhere who have helped me navigate through this process. And I hope Bob is taking the day off.

It's all right to check during dinner as long as you hold your phone at napkin level and are subtle about your glances down. |

I am personally thankful for Pixie as she was the original guru that brought forth truth a long, long time ago in a place far, far away.

It's deja vu all over again four years later. Thanks for resurrecting this post again SPN Lifer . I am still truly thankful to be part of such a great community of individuals who are part of the best Board on the internet. You all rock! I still firmly believe my post from four years ago stands true today as it did then. While I have a lot to be thankful for in the last four years, including my position, I am still heartbroken for those whose rug was pulled out from under them. I will be keeping everyone in my prayers hoping that everyone sees hope in the future and finds a reason to be thankful in the coming year. Once again, happy Thanksgiving to all on this Board. Mail you find the wind at your back and smooth sailing ahead. |

dshawn : You need to go back to your nice fish avatar. It is clear to me you are having identity problems.

No identity problem here. I know exactly who I am ( and who I am not). Just haven’t been on here much lately. Definitely have picked up on the general vibe that it is decidely not a good time to be on the register.
All good though. Just waiting for some action on the Board.
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for all that you do to make this list a valuable tool.

I am thankful for all those who make the board go, and all the Pixie's of this world--the original, and then those at otehr organizations who are the real backbone, the framing that keeps the organization up and running. Anyone can start an organization. Well most anyone.
Anyone for sure can end an organization.
But it's the people in the middle part--the running of the organization, the continuing of it, as many of us boardmembers likely will come and go.
Year in year out Pixie has been clearly monitoring the board, and closely, while leading her other lives as ALJ, music maven, etc.
In organizations you've interacted with chances are there are those who seem to make it hum while organizational presidents and figureheads come and go.
That's the heart of the organization.
Give that person encouragement, and the gift of help, and for bricks and mortar organizations that's even more important as time at the org is time away from office or home.
Let's all give thanks for what we have. We may not live like the associates at a firm who today was reported make bonuses --not pay bonuses--of up to 100,000 per year! But we have clothing,more food than is good for us, reading the entries clearly most have as much as they should drink--and likely more (especially if you believe the recent reports from those who hate the distillers & brewer's and vintner's arts).
And mostly if you have a family member or other who lights up your life be thankful.
But above all, show your thanks! Thinking thanks without communicating only helps you. Verbalizing without doing something to make that person's life easier is talk with no walk.
Carry their load if you can; ease other loads; don't be a burden.
Now on to what I'm also thankful for.......
soft absorbent 2 ply,
highlihghters,
beer, especially craft beer,
but I digress
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I still loyally follow the board, although I am a judge at a different agency now. It’s hard to leave such good friends, as distant as we may become. Wishing you all well this holiday and every day. And my hat is off - as always - to our fair leaders Pixie and ALJD, who have guided us to teach ourselves all we need to learn. Huzzah to Pixie and ALJD! Happy Thanksgiving to all.
