    It STILL takes forever for me to get hooked up with QMB2, and I STILL find it very slow and hard to navigate....since the very start, these issues never seemed to be remedied by the puter gurus at HQ....I've noticed less and less activity and interest over here as well....

     

    So, unless I find some strong, compelling reason to stay here....I'm planning to leave this Q2 sometime in the next few months...I will also be closing my "Costume Etc" group that I am owner of.....I'll continue with my friendships and sisterhoods on the original QMB1 as I always have....It's just much more "my cup of tea" over there....

     

    Lots of Purple Hugs to all of you

    This is NOT good-bye

    Sunday, April 27, 2008, 11:24 AM [General]

    It has been no secret that I don't particularly like this QMB2, but I've learned to deal with it, thinking that I would soon have no other choice...Imagine my joy, along with many of you, that our original QMB1 will continue after all...I'll continue to check in here, maybe once a week or so, for messages, emails and a couple of groups that I belong to... but otherwise, I can primarily be found on our QMB1 instead...I'm NOT leaving the party, NOT saying good-bye, just choosing a more comfortable atmosphere in which to primarily join and play...

     

    I can't post pics on QMB1, and I think it serves a purpose, so, I will continue to add and delete pics from my site here...I'll also continue my "costume" group here as long as interest is shown; pics and/or postings are made....I realize that it isn't needed all the time, just when an "occasion" arises...So, if YOU want it to continue, please let me know... 

     

    And just a side note...I don't like the "friends" connotation either...I consider my "friends" (as the powers that be, who make this board, call them) to be my SISTERS...and my "best friends" are my more frequent contacts...(Gee, I wish they would change that terminology)_

     

    Purple Hugs to each and every one of you..Raskal
