Well what does one say after an accolade like this?
I thank Rosie, MBrevard, MarthaMae, and Mariella for beautiful words, and for your love.
Everyone on this board accepts me as I am, warts and all (and yes the post whoring is under control)

I've matured, and grown from a reticent poster who when first started looking around these boards, felt very uncomfortable initially, knowing that so many of you were much younger than myself. But I have grown superbly (If I can say that myself) to a very confident person, who feels so at home here with my adoptive family, where we can all share our love for Meat and his music.
Um turning into a bit of a 'wedding speech' best be quiet now
Thank you girls, you really have made my day.
Kisses to you all
