Half Price Retreat Place!!

[ThermomixBlogger]

There is so much more than meets the eye in the world of Thermomix    I WISH I could attend the retreat because it would be a balm on my soul to talk openly about Thermomix politics with a bunch of rabid passionate fans. But since I can't be there, I am counting on some play-by-play reportage from someone or some-two or three of you! Please remember to throw a few virtual crumbs to those of us who had to stay home

Yup, this forum is the best because of 'relative freedom' of speech and the HOURS of hard work by people like JudyDawn, Gert, CP Cookie, and all the rest -- not the least of them is/was Jeff who disappeared so quickly, silently and suspiciously. I try to stay out of the politics of it all though, as my presence and the existence of my blog is for the sole purpose of celebrating the machine. I LOVE the machine and think more people should be able to enjoy owning. Thankfully, I can't see anything (even nasty politics and antiquated policies) that will stand in the way of that appreciation.

I will face in your direction and raise a glass for you all while you are on retreat. Maybe I'll shed a tear too. Probably I'll eat some Tenina lemon curd from the jar with a finger while reading through old forum threads for solace.

A spoon would probably make less mess TB

Sounds like a pity party.  Ok I will and you some snippets with the others

I've always wondered what happened to thermomixer, he contributed so much and then just stopped. He wasn't a consultant so I don't understand why politics or HO would make him stop. 

[courton]

Yes, I wondered the same thing. Why would he suddenly stop his contributions?

[judydawn]

I'm so glad you sorted that out for us Cookie, I got lost there and couldn't work out what was going on - not like me to miss something but I thought I had

Perhaps it's time for new glasses.

Thermomixer is still on Twitter. I'm not sure about his blog. I think he has moved onto bigger things. He certainly did an excellent job on here. I think Judy is as good though.

[courton]

JD is the best!

[Amy :-)]

Nobody will ever top Judy's effort and enthusiasm

[gertbysea]

Yea he did a good job but he had only hundreds  of members to deal with where as cookie and JD have thousands and the hundreds of postings each day. They do a far more comprehensive  job .

Brazen is still around  as well though she does not post  much any more. She was one of the starters on the forum and did a wonderful job.

I think those moderators that went before us did a wonderful job and that Cookie & I are just trying to do the same. Yes, the forum is growing all the time but there are so many members who enthusiastically welcome new members, willingly give answers to problems or questions, provide links when required that I feel as if we are a team, all with a great fondness for this forum, our TMX's and our fellow members.  You are all stars in my eyes.

[Cuilidh]

  -  but you and Cookie set the standards, we all just follow along.

[obbie]

Thanks to cookie, Judy Dawn, and yes Brazen and thermomixer too.

Totally agree Helene, they do a great job.
