I met Mastiff, Linda H, 'Bama and Charlie when I stumbled in the hsg chat on one of those night where I was afraid to go to sleep.
They gave me advice and support when I really needed it and for that they will always be special to me.
thanks guys,  :)

Thanks for curing me Jonny.   ;D

I bet JudyW was a first for a lot of people.  She is the ULTIMATE mom!!

My first was Ueli, although *I* don't remember it, he still has the e-mail.  I had asked something like how to post links on the old board, lol.

But the one I really remember was Jayne.  She called me up and yelled at me over the phone, in her English accent "You need to fucking UP your fucking verapamil".
Will never forget that.

Then there is chat...and all the ANGELS there!!!

Mast

Title: Re: Who was the angel !
Post by Roxy on Sep 8th, 2003, 12:27pm
Mast was my first....... ;D.  I talked to her in chat before I ever posted anything.  She gave me damn good advice, and the nerve to post on the board. She still yells at me quite frequently.....LOL.

The first ch'ers I ever met were Den and Georgia.....it was love at first site for me.  They were just great....and I never believed the instant bond stuff....till that night in Houston.   :-*

The first ch'er I ever saw get hit.....Linda H....it was a horror that I had hoped to never see.  Someone you care about in unbelievable pain.   :'(

Drummer.
Who posted his very first post right under my first post.
He was such a good friend to me in those early days, even going so far as to give me his home as well as his work number to call him 24/7 if I needed to. I miss him.

Post by Leesa on Sep 8th, 2003, 1:49pm
My first angel was Elaine, Mast, Jonny (who really was sweet to me and didnt whip my ass) NancyC, JudyW, BarbG, Charlie, Joy, Cheryl, Ree, Paula, Bama, and some that are no longer here. With out them I know I could not have delt with all this before I had lost my mind. Thanks to the angels of the board! Now I call it home in "Clusterville"  ;D

Title: Re: Who was the angel !
Post by jonny on Sep 8th, 2003, 1:59pm
It was Elaine for me, after outting me for posting as someone else so I could tell Todd
that if it was up to me he would have no air to breath (I knew nothing about ISP #'s back then) she e-mailed me and told me to get my ass back on the board or she was going to kick it.....LMMFAO ;D

So everyone blame E that im still here....ROTFF ;D

Post by MOBster on Sep 8th, 2003, 2:18pm
Bennie Sue (MIA) was the first then came Elaine, Jonny, Jackie & Todd (MIA). The board has changed and so have I but my friends still remain my friends  :)  They all gave and give me the strength to want something more for all Cluster sufferers.

Best Wishes,

LMMFAO.

Almost an immediate fight with Jonny.

My post went something like this................................

"Who the fuck is OUCH and why should I send them my money" LMMFAO

Since then my dog has taken a dump in his Hostas and I been farting in his reliner.

I WIN !  ;D

Post by TxBasslady on Sep 8th, 2003, 3:56pm

ummmm .... the first to welcome me was Echo.  Then there were many more...Prense, Wendy, Pam, Charlie, Carl D, Barbara, Melissa, Nancy and several more.

All of you are angels....all are on a mission. The goal is the same. And that is to give love, help and support and even some laughs. And you all are great.

The post by Opus/Paul about the signs....cracks me up. The sign that impressed me most was the "AMIGONE FUNERAL HOME".  I have lmao daily at that.  Remarkable that we can display a sense of humor when we are in this battle.

However, if I had to choose an angel....I spose for me it is Jackie. She has corresponded daily with me via e-mail. Such strength and determination she has. And always right there for me. Before I can click the send button on my e-mail, she has responded. I feel as though I have known her and Blake forever.

May seem a bit unfair to choose 1 person out of so many, but I think that is the way it is meant to be. With so many sufferers, how can 1 angel take care of them all?  So, in all actuality, all are angels in their own way.  Some are naturally drawn to certain folks, and I think that is a natural thing.

The Head Angel in Charge has to be  D.J.   If I have read and understood this correctly, he is the creator of all this. Never in my life have I ever felt a need for support for anything. Now, all of a sudden, I feel that I cannot survive without this mb. I have never been to chat, don't know how to get there...lmao.

Thanks to all the angels....you will not be forgotten, and I hope you realize what a special gift you all are.

Post by miCHel on Sep 8th, 2003, 4:30pm
First person to get back to me was Susan H.  She sent me a private mail with great advice when I was at my lowest and it re-energized me like crazy.

Das also pointed me to a good neuro near my home for which I can never thank him enough.

There was Bennie Sue who was so sweet and asked me to translate some stuff in French.

And there was also Jonny who gave me a ride when I said I had been away for two years because I was PF.  I thought it was the right thing to do cause I didn't think I could help anyone else (I knew so little).  Let's just say his message was crystal clear.  And here I am now, PF and all...  This guy scares me... ;)

It was Sept. 8, 2000.  Charlie was the first one to respond to my 1st post. ;D

He has been a steady, welcomed, precious friend ever since!  (love you Charlie! :-*)

edited to add Holy Crap!  That was exactly 3 years ago today that I found CH.COM!! :D

Ok, Jonny, the real question would be ........ who haven't you ridden ???????  LOL, it's no wonder you think you are getting it all the time ........ you are giving it all the time.  LOL.  You sir, were also the first one to bite my butt on the board .... I have the teeth marks to prove it (yes, before extraction).  LOL and love ya bunches, dude.  

I went back to actually check my first post ..... and couldn't find it.  Are the archives gone again or am I just stupid ????

Anyways, the first thing I did on the board was email Charlie cause I thought he seemed like the nice friendly sort.  I wasn't wrong.  He responded with a warmth that I'll never forget.  I joined the board shortly after that ............ and I remember

Echo, who to me has always been a savior when times are tough.

2 Late, with his warm welcome and his advice now and then.

Not4Hire, who I still think deserves the best job in the world and I hope has found it !!!!!

Dark Angel, who has always inspired me with his welcomes ...... what ever happened to those days ...... I miss them.  

And soooooooooooo many others who made my first cycle bearable .............. too many too mention but all in my heart.

Post by Ann on Sep 8th, 2003, 5:39pm
Jonny!!  That's quite the visual.  Can we do it even if you're right?   ;D

The first person I connected with was NancyC.  When she hadn't heard from me in a while she had me check in.  We exchanged phone numbers and she used to tease me about trying to quit smoking.  Both of us were out on sick leave at the same time so we had two things in common.

During my sick leave Elaine and I use to MSN almost every day.  I miss that!  Glad I'm at work, but sorry I'm no longer around to MSN with you Elaine! :(

And the there was Jonny.  He was always there to kick me in the ass when I was feeling sorry for myself and to give me advice when I needed it.  Glad Elaine convinced you to stick around big guy!

I love all you guys...so happy you are here!
big fat hugs
Ann

Ahhhhhhh, but of course, what other would it be besides Charlie and Svenn..........found those two during cycle in chat..........(and back then I thought Svenn would be a tall, handsome, blonde Swede!!...lol)

Don't think I would have ever stayed around if not for the help I received that first night.

And, Tony G was among the ones whom I chatted with that first night also.........and offered great support for me.

There are many other angels here, all for different people at different times.

Hoping that future sufferers continue to find their "angel"

pf wishes,
EDNA

Title: I snuck in
Post by rumplestiltskin on Sep 11th, 2003, 12:05am
It was a dark and stormy night. People were not getting enough Imitrex prescribed, some asked for support, some were being asked not to "leave", folks were discussing the proper use of O2, Narcs as CH meds were being debated, prayers, misery and comfort flowed....on the board the day I first posted...8-3-1999.

I kinda snuck in. Just pulled up a chair and started posting. I 'd been reading for a while and knew I was home....like a soldier sighing....gettin off the bus on main street...didn't need no parade...I was just glad to be home.

Sweet Dreams

I gotta see if I can get another post off before I lose concentration. So, I may forget some people that were there for me at the begining right now. This was back in '99!
Bob G kept me going through rough nights. Nancy always was there for ANY type of support. Johnny kept me on my toes. BarbD and LindaH were always there.
Remember the classes with Ms Holloman & Ms Twitch?
BobP and Drummer going at each other. All of us going at Jack B ;)
Loved debating with Ted & Todd. Loved trying to figure out Den! Sailpappy was great!
Where's Bob Kipple, LC Bob, Ken Hubbard?
But, I'm surprised I've haven't seen a name I expected to see quite a bit ... Riccardo!
I can't remember him not responding to every post written by anyone on any subject. Now there's an angel!
Shoot, all of the above I mentioned are, and the many more way back then I'm getting too shadowy right now to remember.
What was this thread about? Oh yeah ... angels.
Everyone, newbies or old timers who respond in their different ways of support are all angels!
Best be going, can't find the keys to easy now.
This new board though has taken away mine and BobG's addiction to wiping out all the "blue posts", couldn't have a post unread and still in blue font.
Obviously, I've got to go ...
Dave
Wait! ... Bennie Sue! Mostly E-mails, but gotta love her!

My Clusterville virginity was broken by Charlie and DarkAngel.

Every since I have felt a little cheap and dirty. I dont know why that is?

Just as importantly as the first people who made us feel welcome and at home,  are the ones to continually make it feel that way, every time we open the door.

;D

Post by StanTheMan on Sep 11th, 2003, 8:35am
I don't remember exactly who was first, but after I posted my first message on the board, I got a whole BUNCH of welcomes -- Elaine, Charlie, Jonny, Sailpappy, Drk Angel, (and his hilarious greetings  ;D), Judy,  ... gosh the list goes on and on...
