Thank you, Paw. It's a wonderful work that you've done here. Thanks to you and to your helpers, people have a place to come to read, think, remember, argue, rant, breathe, and heal.
We've accomplished much with this site and keep TWI on it's toes, provided a landing pad for those hurting or with questions.
We've exposed things in our lives that were painful and tough to even peek at much less splay wide open to invite discussion.
For me, personally, it's also been incredible therapy, alot of laughter, as many tears and a connection with some really amazing people; a few of whom I count now as trusted dear friends.
I have no idea how many times, in 10 years I wandered in here to read something that kept me awake or maybe put me to sleep .
Or when I couldn't sleep, I wandered in here to just hang out and consider this life of being free, to learn from those of you who have had that courage to share your lives and story with total strangers.
I've raised two children at Greasespot Cafe and you all have tolerated my stories of those amazing young women and the pains and hysterics and laughter and wonder of being a single/only parent. Thank you for giving me that luxury; they're good people that might thank a place like this for their mama having a place to go and do something else.
We've shared deaths, marriages, divorces, jobs, births, losses and gains and we've done so as a strange somehow functional community.
We've hung in there when it would have been so much easier to bail, we've stayed put when it would have been so much less painful to just close the joint up and walk away. That is a LOT to be proud of and celebrate !
Thank you, Pawtucket, and your team of those who assist you out of the goodness of their hearts and give only because they want to.

David,
I was trying to work in Tin or Aluminum foil both possible 10th anniversary gift suggestions. I loved the "tin foil" hat reference.

Thanks for the memories, Paw!

Happy Anniversary Paw, thanks for all you do.
May your pic-a-nic basket be full and your stay in Jellystone Park be a pleasant one!
(They were Hanna-Barbera, right?)
