Topics: goodbye, moving
Hi everyone!
I just got a notice that our Blog Membership is ending today and due to our plates being full we will not be renewing.
Rory and I are putting our house up for sale today, arranging an estate sale and will be packing up what we have left and heading out west.
So I want to thank everyone for an enjoyable time here and I will stay in touch with a few!
My Sunny blog will still be active

Cathy-I knew you were moving away, but I hoped it wouldn't be from BC as well. I mean this sincerely: I'll miss you.
And I don't understand: how can a blog membership end? I never knew you had to renew.-
Yes we pay monthly (I think)! I thought it was an automatic renewal but I get this email from them each month anyway! Just as well this time around!
You can always keep in touch through my blog and I will do the same with you!

everyone's leaving -
I know! I am sorry Epi!
We might re join once we get things back on track. -
kinda sad to see friendly kind faces all leaving be safe, hope your move goes well.

Cathy - your PAID membership?
Blogcatalog is FREE honey - you Don't HAVE to pay. Paying only gives you the knowledge that you're supporting BC. And you get some terrific stats.
But 98% of the community does not pay to stay here.
It's a FREE community.
And your blog is on a freebie host - right?
So - that won't change.
If you're moving - I totally understand - cause I'll be doing the same thing as soon as my condo sells - our buyer fell through. And we don't have anyone else in mind at the moment...... SO IT COULD BE FOREVER!
Anyhow - no matter what Cathy - I wish you and your sweet, kind husband a wonderful time...
And I hope hope hope that you come back here as soon as you are able to.
When I move - I'll only be offline for the amount of time it takes to get across the country - and have electricity and cable set up. LMAO - screw the house - I need my internet.
LOVE you kiddo - and I'll think of you often if you go for a bit - but I'll hope that you find a way to stay.
HUGS - and much HOPE for you!
M -
Ps. IF you are paying - you have the OPTION to NOT renew - OK?
It is not mandatory - and you'll only notice that there are no adverts... OK?
IF that is the only reason - You can just keep your little rear end here.-
I was told the membership enables me to be on the discussion boards otherwise I cannot participate!
Am I wrong? -
As far as I know participation in discussions is free.
-
you don't need to pay to use the discussions or anything on this site except the stats. Who told you that? because they owe you some money!
-
I've never paid anyone a dime
-
-
Well don't I feel silly!
I don't remember who told us that but that is the impression we have been under all this time and the reason we were paying the membership!
Here I thought this was my big swan song so I told Petlvr he was an asshole!!!!!!-
hahaha! Glad you did!
-
Well .. as long as you keep positive thoughts, and don't focus on the negativity! I never keep any grudges!
Have a safe journey - at least weather is nicer than here in the 'Peg.
-
-
Does this mean you guys are staying now?
-
I'm waiting...
-
Well if it is free!!!!!! *shakes head feeling foolish*
We will be offline for a while though. You can contact me through my blog if you would like!
Maybe I will start a new blog!
Rory & Cathy's Excellent Adventure!
PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
yay! *does dance*
-
ROFLMAO - THAT --- precisely THAT - is why I adore you Cathy.
-
WHY for admitting I am an idiot???????
I do that all the time! -
Nah - not cause you did something silly - IT IS because you're a sweet,kind, wonderful woman who has a GREAT sense of humor and is absolutely adorable...
And you were soooo sooo worried about missing all of us - it gave me those warm fuzzies that you cared so much.
I don't think you are an idiot.
But I do think it was hilarious - and it made me like you that much more.
SO there - neeener neener.
(PS. Besides - if I'm going to be totally honest... It's something I would have done... LOL! So you're not alone in doing silly things... HUGS!) -
I'm relieved you are staying--there are too many trolls overtaking the place lately--and not enough great folks, like yourself. I'm so glad to hear you are staying! -
Same here!! Really happy that you're staying!
-
-
And i'm glad.
-
Yippeee!
-
I'm glad you're staying
-
-
Exactly what she said.
-
I'll add a 'sod off' to that.
-
mi2 -
And I'll add my own special brand of
"Eff Off!"
-
Oh I had send a shout before I saw this. Haha, I think you'll still be on BC after knowing the discussions are for free ^_^!! I'm really happy that you are staying!! *does a happy dance as well*
I wish you & Rory all the luck for the upcoming period...the move, selling the house and so on! -
Cathy--I am so glad you are staying--this place needs more of your type of energy and less of the passive-aggressive, bullying behavior that we have been seeing in the last few days.
I've made some big errors in judgment recently--and one was supporting a couple of members return to this forum who have shown nothing but horrific behavior. I'd love a 'do-over' right about now!-
Yup. I expected nothing good would come of that.
But what I don't understand is why Admin turns a blind eye...and scolds (or suspends) anyone who has the audacity to point out the transgressions! What's up with that??
I'm also glad Cathy is staying, even if she'll be too busy to participate much for a while. Hope to see her (and Rory) back on the threads sooner rather than later. -
Thanks SV! Yup it should be an interesting few weeks.
-
@SV--it's baffling, I know.

Question:
Why are Americans always 'heading out West'?-
Cathy's Canadian. But I think that all of us in the U.S. and Canada say that because of the vastness of the country. It's so far from one end to the other.
Every time I go to San Francisco, I saw I am "heading out west." Because I am--to the western part of the U.S. -
oh yes...I keep forgetting they're Canadians! Oops...
-
How can you forget we are Canadians eh?
Out west is much prettier (mountains galore) and less taxes and more jobs. -
One reason could be that there are employment opportunities out west that do not exist in other parts of the country. Another reason could be that west is less populated and has developed a completely different culture in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria than what what one would find in, for example, Toronto or Montreal.
-
Aren't Canadians just peacenik Americans who say "about" and "house" with a funny accent?
*ducks and runs* -
60% of the job opportunities posted on the internet for my career specialty is in Calgary. Oil and Gas is hiring ... even though I do not have experience in the Industry.
Companies aren't going to short list people outside of their immediate geographic area if they get a few qualified candidates locally ... so, I need to be there to get considered.
Then again, I'm not sure if I want to stay within my "specialty".
-
-
Phew! I got scared for 3 minutes, first reading your shout then reading this. I'm really glad WW told you that the membership is free. I would have missed you and Rory terribly if you left for good. Good luck with the move and we WILL see you after you settle in Calgary! No excuses!
-
We will be in touch with those that matter!
Thanks DeRay!
-
-
That is too funny you thought this was a fee service. Good to see you will still be around!-
Thanks CA! Yup, I was always under that impression!
-
-
*gives Sweet a pinch for the Canadian comment*
Glad to hear your sticking around guys! -
wow. i'm new here. But i like it in here sorry to hear that you are leaving us man. hope you come back soon!
-
Wow Cathy, you message just hit the nail on my head. Anyway good luck. Yes it's always about blogging anyway and I will be looking at your's always I have enjoyed our games together. -
Hope we'll still see you around from time to time. -
Whew! I'm glad that got straightened out and you a Rory will be back. I'd be so sad to see you two go, with your ever-changing avatar and Rory's evil kitty and your mutual senses of humor. -
Happy Moving Day and don't forget to invite us on your housewarming party...just kidding hehe...
