My turn....

Once upon a time...
I'm not going to let the rest of you have all the fun...
When I came to this forum I was in a bad situation. I had 7ish PDL's out there, and I had NO CLUE what I was going to do..My bank account went into the negative EVERY payday...Which then I would have to go get another internet PDL to fix that...The cycle that many of you know so well..
When I came here there was no where near 71,000 members, and there was no where NEAR as many people who know what to do about PDL's. I consider myself, and a few others here "Pioneers" in the field.
I was lucky to have JJ, Clay, and Mikey to help me..Also Mishele came around the same time. I also had Mary and Shirley, who did not have PDL problems, but were my cheerleaders through it all. We brainstormed and came up with ideas. Finsfan came along about a month after I did in a panic about how to tell her husband about the PDL's..She had been keeping it to herself and was at the end of her rope. She did finally tell him, and they pulled through it..
Polly came soon after, and her amazing brain started the research on state laws and she developed the famous "Letter" that most everyone now uses to negotiate with the PDL's.
I could go on all day with everyone's personal story from my eyes, but I really don't have that much time on my hands.
I love you all, and I love this site. I am not exaggerating when I say it saved my life. I did not know what I was going to do, and then I found this place. I will not leave because some jackasses want to be bullies and try to run people off.
I will say there HAVE been members who have gotten to me...I will also say those people are no longer here.
If anyone has a problem with me, tell me. I know of one person who has talked crap about me..She's not here as far as I know....(Although, some of the bitterness from certain guests is fishy to me..) I could really care less though.
I will continue to help here where I can..And I hope that no one leaves because of some jerk that wants to be mean.

I agree!! Jessi, you were one of the many that helped me when I
I agree!! Jessi, you were one of the many that helped me when I came on the forums, and you are right-it saved my sanity and life. I think when I came on there was something like 27,00 on the forums! Look how we have grown! I am not going to let some bad guest or members posts run me off either. I have fought hard, with everyones' support to becoming debt free ,and I want others to feel that too!
