Tomorrow is gonna be my year anniversary here... I've made some great friendships and even met a few of you IRL and am so happy I did! I'm super grateful for the opportunity to be a part of a community of freethinkers and the freedom to talk about anything I want without someone interjecting religion. There are some great groups on here and some amazing discussions that happen every day.
I've learned a few things about myself here. Things I appreciate about myself and things I need to work on. I've learned a couple things about people as well... It's been an eye opening experience; there's a broad range of people!
I'd love to get some contact info from people 
I'll be closing my account this week and I know there are people I'm missing from my messenger, (a bunch of messages are gone, I'm not sure if they were auto trashed?) Please reach out, I'd love to have numbers or emails. A lot of you have brightened my day, made me feel good, offered support, made me laugh, made me think.
I'll be starting class on the 2nd so I'll need more time anyway, the other reasons I'm leaving are not important to anyone other than me. I hope the site grows and sends a positive message and that conversations continue to make people think. I'm thankful I was able to spend time on there and be a part of it for a time.
Thank you, happy holidays, happy New Year and good luck to you all in all your future endeavors

@pepperjones Great idea! Btw, thanks for letting us know, so that we don't need to worry about you like we did with ShueMei...
@pepperjones I think all CL's personal section is closed down... maybe. I haven't logged on to CL for ages....
Happy Anniversary! I didn't see as many of your posts in recent times as I did when I first joined, but I enjoyed the ones I did see. Good luck to you!

@pepperjones what are you going to school for?
@pepperjones well good for you!! You go girl! I kind of have that problem only for opposite reasons. I've been in the same position for 38 years. At one time it was lucrative and now it's less so. But when you put on a resume you've been somewhere for this long it sometimes works against you when you want to change. Eh! Im still good though !
Drop in and let us know how you're doing from time to time maybe.
All the best to you!

@pepperjones too bad that we didn’t get the chance to meet.
Sad to see you go, but I'm considering doing the same. I understand completely.

You will really be missed. Your positive attitude, thoughtfulness, and your playfulness brought a very good energy to this site. I think it would be accurate to say most of the folks we see here on a regular or daily basis will miss you. Good luck with your studies. I am sorry we never met. I am sure it would have been a fun cup of coffee. I do hope you return one day soon. xoxo Larry

@pepperjones Your departure brings this move moment to mind. Both Happy and Sad, marking the end of one time event to make room for another.
Take care, Pep...

@pepperjones ...on! 
You were one of the first people to welcome me to this group. Other than one other person, who turned out to be fake, you and I have the highest compatibility number that I have seen here...80%. With the exception of two details in your bio (your love for the city and heels), i would agree with the high compatibility number..... maybe higher. If you do come back to this group at some point and see this message, let me know the next time you camp at Taidnapam. I have no other way to exchange information with you at this point.
