Don't leave us, Heidi!!!!!!!!!

[davidgud_equestrian_jihad]

Attention:

Guys. GUYS GUYS GUYS . . .

This week is Chuesock - Korean Thanksgiving.

This is the most important holiday of the year for Korean Nationals. I live in Seoul and I haven’t worked since last Friday (It’s now Thursday here)

Chuesock is more like our Christmas than like our Thanksgiving - in terms of importance you understand.

I STONGLY SUSPECT the real reason for Heidi’s absence over the last few days is because she has been busy slaving away in the Kitchen (along with all the other lovely Korean women) - so that the Lords and Masters of the Kingdom can stuff their faces . . .

I myself am so full of food this week I can barely move . . .

Happy Chuesock Heidi!!

I am the one who sent the precious COTH caps over the border.

If Heidi and Jair leave, they must surrender their caps!

Just as I was about to book a flight … just as I was about to head North over the frozen tundra by dog sled (and, believe me, my Jack Russells were NOT looking forward to THAT experience!) … just as I was about to, yes, RELEASE MY CAPTIVE MOUNTIE …

Our fair Heidi conceded to return.

Whew. My little corner of the world just took a small step toward righting itself.

I was really worried Hiedi kins!Just ask Duuffyy !!! I begged for your email and she would not give it to me ! As I have said before you are one of the only funny people here !Thank Gawd Colin didn’t have to go out on a search and DESTROY mission !!!You know what that would have caused . So much pleading begging etc of ERIN and all the moderators to let COLIN back on !!
Thankfully none of that will be required !

Now back to Sumo Toddler poor baby I really understand all of what you are dealing with !I explained to both my daughters as much as I felt I could. The thirteen yr old finally said “I know MOM I’m not stupid ya know !” Put me right in my place didnt she ??? Meanwhile the 6 yr old listened and said the folowing several times “If Shannon ( her very best friend ) was there I wouldn’t have any friends .” All I could say was … “But Shannon wasn’t there she is here. She is all right you are safe and I’m here with you.” Meanwhile she wants to sleep in the big bed and doesn’t want to sleep in her own big girl bed.Thats how its affecting her so I really know how you feel .Sending mommy sympathy vibes up north !

page 2x of the never ending ‘Bush opens …’ thread

[HossShoer]

Whoaaaaaaa, what the heck happened???
I just read the page that Duffy pointed out and was a little stunned, which does not take much, but there is no way Hedi is getting away from this BB without a fight.

The new post about the Royal I think is after that, so maybe that “I’m outta here” post was just in the heat of the moment so to speak/post.

If you do, you will have let the extremists (ie someone at EITHER end of the spectrum) turn you into an extremist (ie someone at either end of a spectrum, in this case the OTHER end from the formerly mentioned extremists)…and you are far too insightful, intelligent, and well-spoken to allow yourself to be labeled as such! Remember, only those in the middle of the spectrum generally remain at the table long enough to hammer out agreements (which, if they are good agreements are HATED by extremists on both ends of the spectrum)—and we desperately need you to help the COTH board (an empowered group if ever there was one) Solve the Problems of the World…no, we cannot allow you to turn your back on such a Noble Calling as this…!

[M_O_Connor]

the phrase my Korean college room-mate taught me:

Ahn yung ha se yo, David?

(For sure, Heidi might be watching the Kim-che fermenting…or, more likely she has passed out from the fumes!)

[Dee]

Now Heidi, I seldom come out of lurkdom these days, so you know it’s important when I come on here to say please, please don’t go! Would it help to say that your threads are the only ones I open when I’m pressed for time? This board without Heidi? Ugh! I really hope you are not answering because you’re in the kitchen doing the Korean holiday cooking thing!

Oh, and what Portia said at the end of her last post! BTW, Portia, that’s always been my motto…

[Kellybird]

Thank god…I can breathe again!!

I would abandon all hope of sanity on this board if heidi left

[Canter]

Why is it Heidi that the thought of you downing sour apple martinis scares me more than you locking horns with Ozzy Osborne in a childrearing debate?

And which one of you chewed the head off the bat?

[dogchushu]

Okay, I’ve found Heidi’s last post. I guess she was typing it while I was composing my over long, wordy missive on the Bush Whoop A$$ thread.

Heidi, don’t you DARE leave! Please! I don’t beg often, but if it keeps you on the boards I will. Let’s see, I don’t have the cute brown eyes of my puppy dogs, but I can whine… puh-leeeeeeeeeeeeze don’t leave? Pretty please?

Seriously, one arguement on one thread from one poster should not drive you from this board. People here love you too much. Don’t deprive us of your wit and wisdom. It’s not worth it!

[hobson]

Is it just me, or did the aforementioned thread disappear?

[Inverness]

I included my plea on the “other” thread before I saw this one. Please ditto me here!

[Alan_Greenspan]

Heidi… what can I say? The economy of the free world depends on you…

Jair, you are such a copycat.

But you’re right, I can’t leave my BB friends, so many of whom I consider my virtual sisters. Besides, without you Jair, who’d be the Sonny to my Cher, the Gilligan to my Captain, the Luc to my Childeric?

Thank you all for your kind words. I am very, very touched.

I am going to follow the advice of so many of you and hermetically seal my eyes and brain to the posts of some and adapt Portia’s wise words, ‘joke em, if they can’t take a f*ck’.

As trivial as it may seem when so many have faced such utter tragedy, my three-year-old is the only one of my children to have internalized the terrorist attacks. On a daily basis he’ll interrupt his play and mumble, “mommy, some planes flew into a building, there was fire. Lots of people died.” He’s also demanded that I not watch television when he’s at school. That the world has devolved to such a frightful and terrifying place, for an innocent toddler, saddens me deeply. In that context, the cruel and violent posts of some have shocked and enraged me - that’s why I stormed off last night.

Again, thank you all for your kind thoughts and emails.

[HossShoer]

Phew, the universe is back in line again.

BTW Beezer, why not come on up for the Royal (see the other thread) Us Canucks could billet a bunch of our BB friends. The Royal is THE GALA SOCIAL EVENT of the year.

[Heidi]

Canter, guess?

Now excuse me while I floss.

[Duffy]

You’re not allowed to leave the BB, Heidi. 99.99% of the BB reads, learns from, and enjoys so much your posts. Please do not deprive us of your wit and intelligence.

[Becca]

Heidi, in the words of the much revered Portia, You are MY hero! Do NOT leave. I would probably not stop crying for ever!!

You are so wonderful, and happy, and funny. You add so much to everything you contribute to, and the overall atmosphere of this community!

It would not be the COTh Bb without Heidi. I don’t know why you are considering leaving, but please don’t. Sometimes the opinions of one, or a few, or some harsh words make it seem pretty bady, but when you consider the thousands of members here, one or two is really not a bad percentage. . .

I hope to death that you stay:) I love you and everything you say far too much!! (Thats right, if you don’t do it for yourself, do it for ME!!)
