Re: Queenyforever Going Away Party If not for Queeny's faithful membership to my first board I'm sure that I wouldn't have kept it going. She has always been there with an encouraging word when needed. Meeting her in person was a treat that I won't soon forget. A little part of me will go with her and encourage butterflies and hummingbirds to visit her new home.
Re: Queenyforever Going Away Party I don't get things done. I have ideas, but usually it ends there.
In number of posts, there are several boards I've been more active than at Queeny's. But in amount of text... I wonder if any but AG has more.
QO inspired me to do couple rather big projects - which will live on as I always eventually post again all my long writings to one or other place.
As is my bad habit, I'm speaking more about myself than Queeny. But I'm sure she doesn't mind reminder of Californio or Raven Banner.
Re: Queenyforever Going Away Party Although I haven't known you as long as some of the others, I know how special you truly are, Queeny. You have taught us some very fascinating things about your beliefs and although I know why you have to turn your attention elsewhere, you will not be forgotten on Runboard, or on the board where I got to know you. There will always be a place at the table when you knock on the door, dear lady. You are one of a kind.
Re: What Firle said. You will be sorely missed, Queeny! Thank you for your friendship and support all of these years! I know we'll catch up away from Runboard, but this place just won't be the same without you. May blessings follow you wherever you go and in whatever you have to do. Much love, Renee
Re: Queeny, we are going to miss you so much. I know you are given up your duties here and closing your board but I hope that we will see you occasionally on here at least to drop in and say hello from time to time.
Re: Queenyforever Going Away Party *Somebody hand me a tissue*
PASTOR....this ain't playing the game by the rules.
Now you've all gone and made me cry.....happy tears, but cry none-the-less.
I can't believe you still have all those images from my old skins...no wonder your computer is running slow! And YES....the whole thing started because of my love of an ELF!
I also remember when I decided to open the "famous Drool Pool" and dear Corey came in and added some FREAKING HOT models of his...LORDY, I just knew somehow I must be breaking the TOS! But you all let me go on!! WHEW!!!!!
And yeah....I do remember telling you that you that ""You might regret this." I'm so glad that you did not come to do so.
And I always cherished being given the ability by THOR to do what you sometimes call that "thankless" job...of welcoming every new board. I loved it...I loved meeting all the new people. Seeing how excited they were to start a new, fun place and I truly enjoyed helping them when I could. I'm glad that Erika gets to do that job.....because "Thankless" it is not....enriching it can be. ♥
Good times didn't stop there as Queeny traveled to Texas and after much angst and changing of schedules Queeny and her husband sat down with Pastor Rick and PK Captain Sun (my wife) at a local restaurant for dinner.
Oh PASTOR that was truly one of the highlights of my REAL life. I so adore you and PK.....that is one memory I'll never forget.
(BTW....the Bon Jovi..."It's my Life" Youtube video...is spot on!)♥
SUSA...I do remember telling you that..... and I meant it. I'm even happier that not only could I nourish you, but in return my Universe became even more full of love and gentleness because I came to know you.♥
(Psst...btw, you best keep an eye on Miss Isabel...her heart is in the right place, love her for the gesture, but she's giving away Lily's doggy biscuits... )
OH and thank you for bringing the cakes....you make the best GOODIES and it goes so well with your perfectly brewed ...I'm sure Pastor won't mind...
ERIKA.....
The Queen of long titled threads that makes my iPad jump about trying to get in them.
Sorry about that......
I love you TONS TOO!
E..Exciting
R..Real
I..Inspirational
K..Kind
A..Adorable
sokolkeep .....
Queeny has been there since I joined and has been a vital part of Runboard and has always been there to help out runboard site owners and has too many post counts on so many numerous runboards to actually count.
Sok...I do believe that is the first compliment I've ever gotten for talking TOO MUCH!!!
And I've thought about passing the 'torch' of Queeny's....I just can't. Maybe that makes me selfish, I don't know. That site was my 'baby'...my 'dream'...and my 'sanity'...(or some of you may say my insanity/undoing... )...I just think all things need to end eventually, and with all that I have to do now...I'd rather bow out gracefully. But bless you for your comforting words.
FIRLE.... you have always made me welcomed. You have always listened with a kind heart and an understanding energy. I will never forget you....and shall visit. As well as continue to get your books...
MO......Thank you. I shall try...tis the only choice I have.
clabarfuil ....
I'm shall miss your joyous energy, and crazy avatars. YOU never failed to make me smile. No matter what else was going on.
PK...
A little part of me will go with her and encourage butterflies and hummingbirds to visit her new home.
And you know better than anyone....that how I believe...and your knowledge of butterflies and hummers....it may very well happen exactly like you just said.
Meeting you, was definitely a highlight in my REAL life. One that will stay in my heart forever.♥
Miss Isabel....thank you for the biscuits. The peanut butter ones are my favorite...
Kaunisto...
QO inspired me to do couple rather big projects - which will live on as I always eventually post again all my long writings to one or other place.
K...I'm glad that I could be at least a little bit of an inspiration (instead of just a very bad example.....as my Son is fond of telling me. )
And no, I do not mind one bit that you talk about yourself. Your an amazing person...and I wish you luck, as always with your writing. Don't you ever give up on that. It's as amazing as you.
Outslider4 ....
Oh dear, gentle one. You were always one of those who made me feel special when asking me about my beliefs. I loved chatting with you....
. There will always be a place at the table when you knock on the door, dear lady. You are one of a kind.
So are you, sweetpea.........so are YOU. ♥
jalalski....Thank you for your sentiments....
RENEE....you are so right. We WILL catch up in other places. I've cherished your humor and your talent to make me smile. Bless you hon.
MARIEL........oldest, dearest internet friend. You followed me from that "OTHER" place (that shall not be named.. ) and have been by my side from day one here. There IS NO REPLACING that kind of love.
All I can say is, I so hope we get to go back to having our little early morning chats on FB...I have always loved those, and miss them. Blessed be to you dear Sister....never shall we part.
Zapit3 ....Hon, thank you. I am sad that even when I did have my board going, I just ran out of hours in the day to get to see you all over there....but I shall most definitely try to pop in on occasion. I have you all 'bookmarked'....I mean after all, I DO still need my drool fix, and there is nothing better than a man in Uniform!
I think one of you....*scratches head* posted the below picture on Facebook....but it fits perfectly, so I'm using it here.

...that "OTHER" place (that shall not be named.. )
That always makes me laugh, because I know all too well who you're talking about and had my own run-ins with them in my pre-Runboard days.
Dear Queeny, what are we going to do without you here? I'm glad I'll be able to see you elsewhere, but I'll miss having you here.
I'm not very good with words, but found a song that seems appropriate for the occasion. I'm familiar with quite a few of his songs, but don't think I had ever heard this one before.
Re: Queenyforever Going Away Party Thank you Erika ....but I believe a person is only as good as the friends with which they surround themselves. So, my thanks go out to you......and all my friends here, I'd be something all together different had I not had ALL of you in my life the last 6 years.
Lesa...made ya laugh!
What I said above goes to you as well. I've got that John Denver song on my Ipod and my PC....I've actually had it since the 80's.... But for you to use it in this way, at this time....well you just made me cry all over again. I love the song, the man and that video...and you.

Re: Queenyforever Going Away Party Queeny's is closing, so sad...but I totally understand....I know I haven't been around RB much..life tends to get in the way.....but SO glad I came back to Queeny's , even though it was for a short time and was welcomed back with open arms.. ...You are a wonderful friend....I have such great memories of being at QUEENY'S boy, did we have some crazy times there... I have never laughed as much as I did there.....I know you will still be on FB...so we will still be in touch......Queenys will be missed VERY MUCH..
