Absolutely! No bickering, snide comments, or stupid arguements over who's opinion is right. It's nothing but helpful and positive.
 
Beth, I''ll miss your wisdom and advice.
 
Sorry to see you go!

You guys are great! Thanks! I'll miss CS - I've posted over 9000 times in 4 years so I obviously have been in the thick of it. I have always cared about you and the business. I want you all to succeed and do it right. Remember, what goes around comes around. What you do today affects tomorrow. You can all be stars just dream, then act on it - the key is action.


Scott, I think it was you early on who pm'd me with a comment about spelling and professionalism (at least you get the credit). I've never forgotten that and I pay attention (and smile) every time I see your posts.


Ann, there is no drama over there on DCS! It's business and helping each other. Sure there's a little venting but then the venter gets support. No one assumes attack and jumps on anyone. Go back!

Beth, I think one of the things (well the biggest thing) I'll miss about you is your willingness to keep others within business ethics! You are always willing to speak up when someone talks about bending the rules weither they wanted to hear it or not!
 
I'm sorry to see you go Beth. You always have great business advice for all and have always been very helpful. You will be missed.

I'm really glad I checked for new posts while I'm on vacation or I would have missed your post.

I have noticed CS has been a little more quiet lately which is kinda sad. I figured more are on DCS instead. In some ways I think it has hurt this site.

Take Care,

Quiet isn't necessarily bad. I've noticed that when there isn't drama happening there are less posts.

Talk about quiet - DCS has many days that only have a couple posts. A lot of the directors that are there are still here too so I don't think it hurt CS at all.

Thanks. That's also what gets me in trouble around here.

It only "gets you in trouble" because people don't like to hear the truth!

'Bye, Beth. I'll miss you... (I was a charter DCS member, too, but I couldn't stand the negative-speak and left rather quickly)

WOW!! I have been a member too since the beginning and have never seen this. Yes, do try us again.

Beth, we should add that another benefit of directorship is being able to be a member on DS so we can continue to share and be supported by you!! So glad we still have you there!!
 
Beth, are you giving up DCS too when that runs out?

That's not my plan at this time.
 
I agree there is more activity when things get ugly, but I guess it's like one of my old college teacher's said, "Life is exactly like a Soap Opera." Boy was she right!

I'm the middle child with an older brother who was very mean to me growing up, so I can take anything that is thrown at me w/o being hurt:)!

I do think sometimes there is too much off topic of PC here, but ther is more to life then PC. I've learned to only respond to those I have a heartfelt feeling to respond to and just ignore the others and go on.

Again, we will miss you. I agree, you were always so good at keeping everyone straight w/all the PC rules. Thank you for all the support you have given to so many through the years.

Take Care

Thanks for all your good wishes. I wish you all the best in your businesses!


One final bit of advice. Remember to consider this when trying to figure out if something is okay to do: What if Doris was standing behind you?


Take care everyone!
 
Beth when I first read this, I thought you might be leaving PC. So glad you are continuing in the business. It's time for me to decide too, and I am wavering. I will definitely miss your posts, if I continue here. I'll forever remember our being roommates at 2006 National, thanks to my Director being a matchmaker.
 
Wow! I missed this thread so I probably missed saying good bye Beth. Hopefully you'll know that we'll ALL miss you. Thanks for all the wonderful advice and friendship over the past few years :)
 
Beth ... you will be missed. PM me if you want me to add you on FB and that goes for other cheffer friends too ...
