I think this is actually mighty impressive.  Look from the User List how many actually are here and post regularly.

So many of you came over on 7-14-2014. Or just a few days later.

I remember well being on the abc.com board, hearing that you were leaving.  Some like annie had trouble it seems to me finding the "ship" but eventually did (despite the fact that any mention of it got "red-lined" almost immediately.

Though invited more than once, I kept saying, no...I'm just here until school starts in late August.  I'll just stay put.  CEK would come to say hello and good night in the evenings.  Booky and I (eastcoast and Shippette and others) tread water over there trying to stay afloat until the thread was literally pulled out from under us.

How wonderful to find you all in September.  How great it is that we are still together.
 

Awww, View!  I miss the old days on the ABC message board!  Remember when CEK would serve a buffet style breakfast for us on the deck?  Haha  Those were good times!!  Despite the trolls and the naysayers, I had a blast posting over there and I'm proud that we managed to keep that thread going until it reached over 3 million views, before the webmaster locked it up and banned us both for trying to start up new M&M threads.  LOL

I thank CEK for sending out a life raft and bringing me over here and of course, I thank Carrie and HRM for creating a place where we could continue to discuss M&M and share our news (both good and bad) with each other.  Even though we didn't get the fairy tale ending we had hoped for, I am grateful for the friendships I have made on this board.

Set to the theme of Gilligan's Island


Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip.
That started from the ABC site,
Aboard the MnM ship.

The posters were a mighty crew,
The hopes and dreams were pure.
Many passengers set sail that season
For a love  we thought was true,
 A love we thought was true.

              *BOOM*

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless  two
The MnM ship would be lost,
The MnM ship would be lost.

The ship set a ground, here and there,
but not all is lost or to fear,
for it now is a ship of friendship and love
and that is what it is about,
yes,  that is what it is about.

We sent out lifeboats for everyone
to help them find this home.
We thank all for being  here
and hope that those that roam,
will one day again come home.

So lets raise a glass for all we've been through,
our ship is different that is true,
but may we  always be here though,
for me and for you
FOR ME AND FOR YOU !!!!!!!!!

Haha...I love it!!!  This is the perfect tribute to our sisterhood, luv!  Gilligan's Island was one of my favorite shows growing up.  If I ever find myself stranded on a deserted island, I can think of no one better I'd rather be stranded with than all of you ladies!

Happy Anniversary to the Sisters of the Traveling Message Board!!!  Can't believe it's been a year!!!  Here's to many more years of friendship!!  Love you guys!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi Cassidy!  I just read the good news about the birth of your grandson!  What a blessing!  Congrats, grandma! 

In honor of the two people who brought us together, I wanted to post two of my favorite M&M videos.  I still don't understand how we could've been so wrong about these two, but I have no regrets about shipping them.  It's been a blast and a blessing!
