hi there, glad you could make it i am happy to provide this new forum for members of
the L-S old forums ( http://lightning-strike.com/forums/ )as well. as those working their way from our battle-torn alt.support.grief.pet-loss newsgroup on USENET. perhaps we all can use this as a troll-free resource as i will be ruthless on off-topic postings and finally have the tools to squash any problems this would be a great forum to introduce yourselves, if you want. i will kick it off for y'all. my name is marcdavid, people call me MD (i am not a doctor or vet, a rumour that has been around ever since my pet-loss work has). i started the lightning-strike site back in '96 as a tribute to my very dear friend Tribble, who passed quickly from a thrombotic clot. it was a nightmarish scene at the end, my wife (now ex) was a new vet and we tried to save him but he died in my arms. i have not had a pet since, not my own...we did have 7 cats when i was married though. to be truthful, i am kinda burnt out on cats and hope to get a dog one day, a jack russell terrier is my hopeful. oh, right now we do have fish. and a snail. and cuz i left the window open, about 100 flies im a 40yo freelance writer in columbus ohio and have 2 great kids ages 6 and 3. they keep me on the run constantly. so although i will visit here several times a day, i may not post as much as the rest of you but rest assured i will be reading and wishing you well during these hard times in your life. over the summer, i hope to completely redesign lightning-strike.com. i also have a very nice chat room up and running now if anyone has the interest to participate. it has not been released publicly yet, so let me know and i can get it readied. welcome again, i hope you find the support you need here -------------------- |
