My 1-Year Anniversary...

Post by BugsySig »

...with ValiantFans.com :thumb:

And almost 2500 posts!

I just wanted to say thank you to the community here for the great interactions over the past year. After lurking around the site for years, I finally joined the boards when VALIANT began announcing its return. Now I find myself obsessively checking the board to discuss everything from new books to sales to the merits of Canadian bacon :lol:

The past year and a half has not been the easiest for me...My wife and I were both struggling with adding our first child to our family when she decided to quit her job, return to school full time and pursue a new career in teaching. Her full time status, classes, student teaching, and now her first year teaching (thank god she found a job right away :clap: ) left me with more responsibilities than I could handle at times and very little time to myself (though you'd never know it by the # of posts :D ). On top of that, changes at my "underperforming" school district, a single income household and taking care of my son often on my own, has led to a lot of stress and an awesome new anxiety disorder :thumb:

This board has really provided me with a fun distraction and outlet in my spare time...its been very good for me and I consider VFans almost like a second family now.

So again, thanks to Greg, the OTV crew, the Nanny Boo Boo Club, the Old Guard and the New Blood for a great year. :high-five:

And here's to another year of VALIANT successes and off-topic discussions with Chiclo...cheers!

I feel the same way about this site. It has kept me sane in a stressful part of my life.

I nominate you be dubbed as 'the scoop ninja', or rather, just plain 'Scoop Ninjak' :lol:

If I was actually the first to call Bugsy the Scoop Ninja, I'll gladly take full credit :lol:
