   Ha!  You got me.  I saw the title of this post without seeing who it was by, and was ready for an angry tirade of some kind.... What a pleasant surprise!  Thank YOU guys.

          There.  More recent, though still taken a good six months ago...
          
          
          
          And thank you all so much for your kind words.  They do make such a difference.

    Yeah, so I'll bet you look even better!  (i.e. Stacie, Gamergirl, Whitney, LDSNana, etc.)  They all changed their avatars in the past 2-3 months and look younger than ever!

       I noticed that too.  That's when I changed mine to a photo of 1999.  Much less fat & bald.

    Oh, Maddie!!!  Hon, give it a few more years and you'll be scouring your albums for a picture that will make you look younger and not your age!!  Ahhh, youth!!
    
    Keep up the good work!!

    Ditto everything - being a moderator has to be one of the most emotionally draining jobs around, and Maddie, you are always so gracious, even when people have tantrums and become personally abusive toward you.
    
    Grace under pressure, that's Maddie. Thumbs up to infinity!
