My WOG "Resignation"......

well... i've been doing a lot of thinking and planning over the past several months and i feel it's time for me to pass on the site and board to someone else and move on. this has been a really difficult decision... i put so much into the place for the past 6 years... it became another baby for me.
i'm still struggling with physical problems... mainly one being what they thought was arthritis in my neck. after having an MRI, it turns out it's not. i have 3 discs in my neck that are deteriorating... 2 of the discs are pressing on some nerves which is causing me to have pain i've never quite experienced before  for example... i had to go via ambulence to the ER after passing out from pain a week or so ago. i don't think i've ever passed out from pain. the spine doctor doesn't reccomend the surgery that can be done for this problem due to my age and the fact that i'd probably still have pain after that. the chances are very high that i'd be right back in the same place i am now after time so that would make having the surgery almost moot. the chances of the pressure on the nerves relieving at some point (after enough detoriation) is a much better solution to wait for, if you can believe that  so... no cures for a good long while. i have to start in a pain management program where they'll try cortisol shots to the neck and fun stuff like that. right now i'm relying on vicodin for the bad times, skelaxin pretty regularily and capascien. i still deal with a lot of fatigue and weakness from my medications and just trying to live every day along with this pain issue. the rest of the time is devoted to my daughters and they aren't getting enough of me as it is. so there's just no time for me to be here much anymore too 
working on the computer does not work for me anymore. i'm in pain within 10 minutes and if i aggravate my neck, it gets bad. then i'm back to puking... and the new fun these days is the passing out. we're thru with one thing, on to the next, huh?  i guess if pain management isn't enough i can try the surgery and hope for the best.
this site deserves to be run a lot better than i'm able to run it. i just don't see me doing another record. i'm not going to be able to handle the huge amount of work this site and board requires and the emotional turmoil that goes along with it all. i feel that i'm not stable enough emotionally to handle it also.
it's time for me to let go. i've learned so much over these years... how to run a website, a board... how to deal with people and a whole lot of weird stuff too lol some of my best and worst memories are here. i'm not sure if it was worth it or not, but it's surely an experience that i'll never forget. i'll miss running things
there's a lot i'd like to say, but i just don't have the words... i'm afraid it'll all come out wrong or someone will be offended or something crazy like that. but i want to thank the people that stand by the site during the good and bad times. you're what makes running the site worth it and fun. i know there are some bitter people out there and a lot of false gossip about me and the site, but some of you guys knew better and i really appreciate that.
i've put a lot of thought and time into a new administrator. their name is Adela. they've been here as long as i have (since 199 i think and know the site very well. i know that they love the place and will carry it on with the same philosophies and rules. nothing has changed here... you just have a new admin and moderators. i know that in the past you had the unpleasant experience of someone i DID NOT authorize to run the place and never would've allowed... who was not in a good place emotionally. i assure you that isn't going to happen again. you have a fellow long time fan whose been here with us for a long time. i've filled in the new admin on just about everything and will be here for them when i can for as long as i'm a goo fan with a computer.
i'm still very much a fan and will be coming by here for news. it'll be fun to just come to fart around here  i'd love to hear from some of you so email me sometime... [email protected]
i love you guys... i'll see ya around though, k?
i know this is really long... sorry about that... but it's been 6 years, ya know?
 gosh... this is so hard... i just hope everything will be ok. it's hard to let go..

WOW Eva,
I know you have to do what's best for you and your health but I just can't imagine WOG without you.
Here's wishing you and your family nothing but good things. I hope you pop in every now and again and say HI.

Eva,
You're a super star. You're lucky I'm not sending you along a private message about your "fartin' around" comment...LOL! 
Do what's best for you. It won't be the same around here without you.
All the Goo Fans here - including me - are so thankful for you efforts over the years. Good luck, Good health and Good times to you!

Hi Eva,
Despite my sporadic and long absences from the board, it's always been part & parcel to return and see you as the WOG trusty Moderator (aka Master & Commander)
You're going to be sorely missed, and Shannon said, I hope you pop in occasionally and say "Hi".
I send you my best wishes for a speedy recovery, and hope that you won't have to endure too much pain and difficulty.
Be well, stay GOO

Oh Eva! I'm so sorry you have so much pain and burden. You will be sorely missed (I can't believe it's been 6 years!) but it's important that you think of yourself first. Please take care!

Eva, you and I have had our moments, but you know I've always wished you the best. I can't thank you enough for all your years of hard work. It stinks that you are in so much pain and I hope you find relief soon. Make sure you stop by often and say hello, please don't be a stranger.
