SHELLY'S New Years Resolution

I'm resolving to give up SoWal-ing in 2010.

Nothing personal...just wanna ride off into the sunset.

Kurt, can ya please close down my account on New Years? It'll help a bunch...otherwise I'll have to get "banned" (and I WILL make it a humdinger!)

I for one will truly miss you and believe you will be a great loss to our SoWal community. Thanks for opening my eyes in soooooo many ways. BTW, will you please meet me for a cup of java?

Nooooo! Please don't go Shell!

dang!

I'll miss your perspective...

puck.

puck.

double puck

Can't you just post less often? I don't think you realize how much joy your humor brings to this community. Or you could just come back as 'beta insert arthropod name here' and crack jokes about countertops.

Nooo! Please don't go! I always go directly for your postings first, love your humor and how you keep it real.

Triple puck, but I vote for the banning option. We need a little excitement around here!

Sowallers droppin' like flies these days~~~~~~~~~~you'll be missed Shelly!

SHELLY, SHELLY, SHELLY...why you do this to us? I mean I know it has been a little slow around here lately, but that is no reason to abandon us, is it? I truly have learned so much from you. If you really do go I will miss you.

Nooo! Please don't go! I always go directly for your postings first, love your humor and how you keep it real.

Double ditto!

Shelly, don't leave.

Could this be a sign things are improving??????? ;-)

Me thinks, since Shelly is not prone to drama, that there must be a good reason for riding out into the sunset. Perhaps, Shelly may not have access to internet in the big house.

Either way, you will be sorely missed around here.

So, who gets the red convertible?

"Ghost Crab cracks on Corian?"

Stay around, Shelly!

where are you moving?

now that is sad news! will you at least post a picture of yourself and tell us your real name and address and phone number and email and life story? okay, just a pic and name. and life story. seriously. we all want to know. you are so mysterious! but somehow still a good friend to sowallers.

Hang it all to dell. Say it ain't so!!! I so love your input & humor. But if you really, really, really, must go, I vote for the humdinger.

I'll say now what I was too disappointed to say earlier.

We can always count on Shelly for an informed and thoughtful perspective. Deflation of blowhards is usually close by, too, something that is always near and dear for me. All delivered with a touch of wry humor.

I realize that SoWal will lose some of its novelty as it matures, and the level of frustration has crept up as various factions in the (non-forum) community continue to be the d***heads they've always been. Unlike many internet forums, though, SoWal.com is really a community, and it performs a very valuable community service. Lacking a functional local press, this is literally the only way we can get the poop on what's going down, and organize ourselves to act. We need folks like Shelly.

Don't do it, Shel.

me too!

This I gotta see! It's calling you...!

Thank You Shelly

Your thoughtful insight was always a joy. You may never know how many folks sat at your feet and listened to the wisdom you shared on this board.

Enjoy that sunset and hope to see you around.

Now I understand when the others were saying you'd be missed.

I am new, but I have always enjoyed reading your posts. But I understand - when you want to leave a forum it just means time is up for you.

I am certain you can always come back.

Have a good life
