Hillary brought us together when she decided to run for President of the US. Most of us worked side by side for her campaign. We stuck together through thick and thin. We were brought together by Hillary yet we remain together despite one forum "going bot" and the second one being hacked. We used Twitter and Facebook to find each other and here we are still together. We support each other through hard times and laugh together during fun times. We cheer when Obama's numbers go down and wonder outloud if people will stop drinking the kool aid.
We have become more then online friends but family. I will always be grateful for all my friendships but especially Optixmom who has proven to be one hell of a friend. I thank all of you for your kind remarks and can't wait until I am back every day.
I feel as Shadow does, hmg. I remember the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when it became clear that HV had been hacked, and when members were lost in cyber space for a while. Then, you and Optix created this space for us. What a relief to find old friends again.
The trauma many of us experienced after having so much hope that Hill would be the president (as she damn well should have been), was made bearable because we could share that disappointment and hurt with others who had experienced the same thing.
Personally, I've learned so much from you smart Hill fans, and am proud to be on of you.

I feel the same way. Poor Optix and I have been so busy lately with her studying for her GRE's in seven days and with me moving. I am going to be on a lot more this week then I have been last week.
