Hello Everyone.

Well, it has been quite some time since I have posted as I have taken a break as recomended by many friends (and other people). I miss posting and for those of you who really know me, you know I really do like to help and have a lot to offer.
There are so many things I wanted to discuss and share but have not felt very welcome due to past events. :shock:

The more I think about it, there are 4 - 6 people here who like to cause problems and inflate small things into big ones. I was beat up over something I said and also for making some poor decisions. Many people here have also made poor decisions. It seems like I was able to be flamed but could not flame back. I will not let a few monkeys in the curcus ruin the show.:mad:

It really needs to be an equal playing ground and regardless of what I said, it is a forum and I should have had that right to say what I wanted. HOWEVER, I have also decided to practice what I preach and if I have something bad to say about someone, I can PM them and not involve the pin trading community. So many people here just want to cause problems and will find a way to fault you even when you are trying to help or be nice. They will find a way to put a spin on it. (you know who you are):rant:

I just want to be welcomed back. I miss my friends and trading. Even the person who I attacked has put it behind them and PM'ed me that we are good. Even best friends have arguements and get over it. I hope everyone else can too. Yes, I got caught up in the drama and played on it.

I dont need drama, I just want to be the contributor I always was and will be. So in closing, I also want to say that I really want to MAKE SOME TRADES.

If anyone has the more current vinylmations I would love to trade with you and I am really easy to trade with. Star Wars and Dalmatians too. While I may have talked smack, the one thing I have never done is not complete a trade.

There are 2 people on this forum who we talk smack back and forth all the time but this person said to me one day, I may not agree with you on everything but it does not mean I wont trade with you because I know you are a good trader. I hope you all feel this way.:anxious:

And honestly, we have all had a hard feeling about someone. You may not like someone that I do but that does not mean I cant be friends with both of you.

Has enough time passed? Can you please accept me back into the family? I miss my brothers and sisters. Give me a chance and please trade with me too. I really need some pins for the kids and my passes are blocked for a few weeks.

Well, I hope to hear from you and I know I have lots of friends out there who supported me even when the things were happening. People say life happens and it did for me and I let it get to me and vented that on the forum. Yes, I fell apart but I put the pieces back together.

Thank you and I wish you all the best for the holidays.

If all goes well, I have a few good post I am sure will spark some good healthy debates.

Best Wishes,
:wiggle:

I have no clue what happened, but I have always enjoyed your posts and contributions. I think what you wrote above is very fair. It takes a big person to admit when they are wrong. We all make mistakes and this is the season for forgiveness. It's also the new year and time to move on!
 
Hi Dan
I am the one who"Put it behind them."DAN ,life is to short for us to hold onto the past,yes what happened between us stung pretty badly
BUT thats over now..i wanna welcome you"HOME"you are a wonderful pintrader...I was the first one to trade with you when you joined DPF!

OK, this was difficult for me to do and I had mixed emotions and now I am very happy I did this. I already feel better.
Thanks to all who have welcomed me back. I truly do miss being a part of the form and I have made so many friends here and hope to make many more.

Seriously, thank all of you for being my friends. KORY, I owe you Club33. And its time to show you the ins and outs of the pressed coin machines. I read your post about moving down here. We have to get together.

And I really want to trade with all of you.

Thank you all and especially Judy. You were my first.....Pin Trader..lol
Even before DPF you were my first ever trade period.

I hope to have some great post up soon and look forward to seeing all you locals at the park. I have been saving them up......

Happy holidays everyone, your all special to me.

Best Wishes,

Dan & Family
 
Awwww man... you're back!? Dangitt, where's my penicillin?? :naughty:






(For those not in the know... this is an inside joke between Dan & me)

Welcome back!
 
WoW, do I know that feeling, dan . I was badly raked over the hot coals for what I thought was helping . My husband was so furious, he came home from work and really laid into a few and forbid me to ever come on this forum again . But as you said, there are many including you, that I really missed, so it's been over a month and I pop in from time to time . I'm glad your back .
Since I've been gone, something wonderful happened . Six years ago, I walked away from my boss, best friend and teaching position . Nasty emails were exchanged and we both decided we would remain dead to each other . Long Story Short, we got in touch, had lunch, put our differences behind us and I'm teaching my children again . I've never been happier and I don't care whom likes me here and whom doesn't . It really is there problem and not mine . So, here I am along with you on the forum . Welcome Back Friend !

Another good thing to do sweetie is what Cicada told me , block the so and so's, then you don't have to deal with their negativity . Which is what I did , so even if they get smart mouthed, you don't see it .
 
Can't we all just get along? We are discussing Disney pins which should be a happy and fun hobby. I don't understand what the drama is about.

I don't know who these 4-6 people are who enjoy causing problems. But they obviously need to get a life. :rolleyes:

Anyway, nice to see you Dan. I hope you are doing well during this holiday season. Hope to catch you at DLR soon.
