Erica Mena is the new owner of the blue cashew

[Fashionista]

She approached me a few days ago about taking over the TBC..

My initial reaction was no, but then I thought this is an opportunity..

I'm going to be leaving forums very soon..

If BC merged with SG it would keep me here..

I've always wanted to go to university..

My daughter is graduating university this year and my son graduates from high school and begins an apprenticeship right after..

I've enjoyed my time on forums, but the time has come to move my life in a new direction..

I love you all, and I'll pray for your health and provision.

[Fashionista]

Biggie, Dovey, Lokmar, Rancidmilko, Oerdin and RAVEN you were terrific online friends..

Joe you're a good troll......keep it up..

SCOUSE, we want different things in life, but I admire your determination......I hope you meet a lovely Aryan lady who makes you complete..

kiebers, what can I say, you're were the first person I confided in for a reason.......I will miss you so much..

There are others too of course, but I have to leave for morning fellowship..

Enjoy your day.

Awwww...  I'm so excited for you!!!   It's been great knowing you for this short period of time, Fash.. You've always been so kind and helpful to me and I will miss ya   Good Luck in the next chapter of your life.  I'm sure whatever you do, you will kick ass    I too am going to slowly remove myself from "forum life" after my account was hijacked on BF.. My private life is extremely important to me and that situation really shocked me to the core..   But.. this isn't about me LOL..   Good Luck and hopefully I will see you around the forums for updates on your wellbeing/life.

Congratulations Erica.. You are a natural for forum ownership with your no-bullshit attitude and fairness to all.  I'm happy to see TBC will remain open under your care.

Good luck Fash! You can do it!!!!! My wife finished getting her Masters when she was in her 40's. It was intimidating for her, especially with a family and all but we were so proud of her when she did it!

I do plan on dropping in here and Erica's Cashew to say hello and let you how I'm doing with my studies.

I read this ten minutes ago at the Cashew. It was a bit of a shock for three seconds. But, not really. You have given hints for a while you didn't want to run a forum anymore. You were a first rate admin. But, you got to do what is right for you. I get that.

You go get em kid. Show those young folks how it's done.

Enjoy your day.

I am glad you are following your dream and you will be missed.  Hopefully,  some day you find the time to drop in again.  For what it is worth, I am glad TBC will live on.

I definitely will Oerdin..

You might find it amusing to read about the (mis)adventures of a mid forties first undergrad degree student..
 

I'm glad BC will remain open too......I believe I left that forum in good hands.

Sadly Fash, I doubt there will ever be a happy ending for me in the romance department, I had the girl of my dreams and fucked it up, no one since has come close.

We've had our differences over the years, but as Chinks go (  ) you're one of the good ones, and I do wish you and your loved ones well.

What are you planning on studying by the way?

[Aryan]

Good luck Fash! You can do it!!!!! My wife finished getting her Masters when she was in her 40's. It was intimidating for her, especially with a family and all but we were so proud of her when she did it!

What was Mrs Lokmar studying and how long did it take her?

What was Mrs Lokmar studying and how long did it take her?

She had a Bachelors in business something or other. Her Masters was in civil service of some sort. Its been quite a few years so I dont remember what her degree is.

I hope Erica Mena gives the website appearance a makeover.

How about a banner colored like red hot chili sauce & the cashew replaced a smokin' hot chili pepper?

I'd say that's more like it!

Suits her temperment more than the drab blue.

[Oerdin]

I guess we will have to wait and see what time and budget allow wrt any make over.  So far, the only thing I noticed so far is the politics forums seems to be missing.  Maybe rejected could be the place for such threads in the future?

So actually, you're reliving the youth you never had time to enjoy, eh Fashionista?

Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Men do it all the time.

Ie - John McCain ditched his 1st wife for Cindy.

According to his ex, he wanted to be 25 again
