A Special Thanks Anita18.
I truly am going to miss all of this. The getting up at 6:00 am and quickly checking the wiki to see if I missed anything while I slept. The furtive checking during the day, when I am at work, occasionally blowing off the entire day to dial the same phone number over and over, trying to talk to some asinine concierge in person. Or stepping out of a meeting to check the wiki, knowing that if anything went down on any of the 50+ sites it would be there and I would not have to flip through all of them just to see if anything changed. Getting off work, checking in once again, then eating dinner, mowing the yard, whatever chores abounded, thinking all the while what the current puzzle meant or what the latest revelation might have in store for us. Once the family was in bed, staying up until 2:00 or 3:00 just to make sure I did not miss anything, or chasing some swag trade, or working with other members to make buttons, cards, shirts, stickers....., constantly flipping over to the wiki to check some fact or get a link to a website I wanted to check - and knowing, like it was a rule of nature - that it would be there to give up whatever piece of information I needed. So thank you from the bottom of my black heart, and thanks to everyone else whom I have met on this board and will continue to see in some shape or form, even if it is only in memories I mull over when I get much older.
I think a lot of us have given up a little bit of ourselves in one way or another over the year here, but I think that what we gain back will make us stronger and better people - just another reason why I have always liked Batman. Even though he is a ficitonal superhero with no superpowers, he sure moves the world for me - sometimes I find myself thinking "WWBD?" and let that guide my way.
