I am sure you will all join me in thanking Simon for instigating this site and for all the hard work he puts in during the year to keep it going. :santa: Many times during the past year I have been so grateful that I could turn on the laptop and just see what was going on in other peoples lives and compare our problems related to sci or just generally surf the site and add my comments or not. So on behalf of us all a big THANK YOU, a happy Christmas and I look forward to Apparelyzed in 2012. :santa: :santa: :santa: :cheers:

Yes, indeed, Merry Christmas to Simon and Trinity, and thank you both from the bottom of my heart for all you do here to preserve the peace, save us from ourselves and prevent us from self-abasement through sheer baseness on our part and the workings of our sometimes exaggerated egos. Of course, that is in addition to your having created the site for ones such as us in the first place.

yup another year nearly over and an eventful one on the boards with people leaving/joining and getting booted out!!! but on the whole exciting in a way to log on in the comfort of our homes or at work to give/receive advice whether good bad or indifferent and voice our opinions likes/dislikes or to just browse the forums

thanks Simon and admin for dealing with the various disagreements etc in a professional manner and working to keep us happy in one way or another, i for one would miss this site [which i did earlier on in the year whe it went down for a while] it was very surprising to me how much!

It took me 24 years of being in a chair to find this site...that's what I call slow!!

This has been one of the hardest years for me and without the support from friends on this site I would have been a basket case.


Thanks ,thanks, thanks....Simon, you make it possible for us to learn, share, vent, flirt, laugh, cry, eat, dream......the list goes on and on. We owe you big time!!!


MERRY CHRISTMAS....maybe Santa will bring you whatever you want....MAYBE???!!!

Thanks everyone for your Christmas wishes.

It's been quite a year for the forum one way or another, what with me being stuck in hospital, moving servers and general mayhem which goes into making a forum such a collection of diverse opinions.

So, I'd like to thank Trinity for helping look after the site while I have been otherwise incapacitated, she has made a big difference in helping monitor and moderate the forum.

And I'd also like to thank the members for their continued support in answering SCI questions, and helping put others minds at ease with their knowledge and life experiences, which was the primary goal of setting up this site.

Wishing everyone a verry happy Christmas.

Simon :santa:

Thanks from me too, Simon!

This site has helped me so much in so many ways. It fills a big gap and it is like family here.
Thank you for all your hard work, you have made something really special.

Again, Merry Christmas:)

Many thanks from me too. I found this site by accident this year. When I joined I had no idea how much it would help me. I have found a lot of information about sci's and have been able to share some of my own knowledge with others. Most of all, the people that are here are amazing. Some have become very dear to me. Without the two of you, Simon and Trinity, none of this would be possible!

Thank you again for all your hard work throughout the entire year. Merry Christmas to both of you. May it be happy, safe and blessed. 

Thank you very much Simon!

I found the site by accident on google, and thought with my 30 years as an SCI I'd be able to help some newly injured. I never expected I'd be leaning from the site as I have.

My Hat is off to you for thinking of creating such a beneficial site to So Many! And then all your hard work to keep it running.!!!

Have a Happy Healthy New Year, and Many More to Come!

Not quite yet, GB,, We don't usually eat till 5 or so,, to allow the kids time to visit the "other" grandparents. I do, however, fully intend to get myself good and properly stuffed, then.

To you simon,, I would like to sincerely thank you for the continuing gift of this site,, and you too, trinity,, for helping to keep it sane ( or as nearly so as possible) It takes a talented shoemaker to make something that fits so many so well. This comfortable fit keeps bringing me back.
