I owe an apology to all of Teddy's fans that have helped sustain us & shared in our passion and joy since way back in May of 2010 when our Grand Adventure first started.
With the new Triple Ace engine roll out for the 2014s, the new ST and now the new F3 ( wow, BRP's been busy) things here in SpyderLovers land changed. Our little community continued to grow & with that growth came growing pains, for us as a group. This just may be my perception, but things here started to become. ...... for lack of a better word.... negative. There seemed to be so much bitching & complaining, one person attacking another. It wasn't just ppl venting, but personal attacks & with me being in a bad place myself, needing back surgery & now possibly neck surgery, I didn't want to add to the negativity that I was reading about on a daily basis. When a person is down, when I am down, if I allow more negatively in my life, then that just brings me down more, so that is the main reason Teddy & I had to take a break from our SpyderLovers family. For that, I am sorry, but I thought it was in my best interest.
Much has transpired, including me having a revision surgery on my L5/S1 lumbar disc on June 30th & I start PT on Monday. I still have 3 messed up cervical discs in my neck that are causing me major issues, especially safely being able to ryde. For the past 2 months, Ted's Red Sled
I, too, spent the late spring and early summer dealing with the L5/S1 combo. PT helped a bit but the pain is still there. Doc says I'm not a candidate for surgery, yet. He was willing to load me up on Tramadol and send me on my way. I found the Tramadol left me rather depressed, even though the drug isn't supposed to have any psych effects. Now that I've got them out of my system, I'm a much happier camper.
Prayers for for your continued healing.

Glad you TWO are back. Hope things keep getting better.

It looks like the 'additional options' for Thanks & Like listed under 'miscellaneous options' in Advanced were checked up around post #13 & they are simply defaulting down as everyone posts. Dunno if it was ever an intentional thing but hopefully 'UN-checking' them as I have done for this post may break the cycle.
Good to see you back Cyncy, & good to see some more pics of Ted enjoying his Sled!! Glad you are both still with us, & hope things only continue to get better too!

But it didn't bugger up my post?
You're right though; it IS good to have Teddy and his favorite human back in here!
I been away for a while, has something changed to posting?
I started this new thread like I always had done in the past, didn't put any special requirements or permissions needed for the 'Like or Thank' to view that I know of. If anyone knows what I need to do to correct this, please let me know & I'll do it, thanks.Model.jpg
