This is it!

I have gone back and forth with this decision so many times, but I think I’m finally there. I’m going to say good-bye to Linda’s Thoughts. I don’t know if it’s me, or the fact that I’m just not enjoying Raw or Smackdown like I used too, but I am finding it an effort to do a column on both shows. It’s gotten so bad here that either I dread putting something out, OR I forget that I am supposed to put a column out. This is a day that I really didn’t see coming until I would say the last couple of months. And even though I have no intention of giving up on Raw, Smackdown or even ECW the thought of talking about the shows just means nothing to me anymore.

I don’t know if it’s the PG rating that did it, or just the fact that it’s the same old feuds over and over again, but writing on a weekly basis is not what I want to do anymore. I think the thing that bothers me the most about all of this is that I will miss the emails that all of you send me. I have always looked forward to reading your thoughts and so many of you say the nicest things about my what I have to say. Feedback has always been one of the reasons I loved doing the columns. Plus I can’t thank you for getting so many wonderful compliments from you many of you. You can bet I will miss that a lot. Yet I have noticed that I haven’t even been answering the emails like I used too, and that’s just wrong, because all of you are the reason that these columns continued. It was your support that kept this chick going for almost ten years. I’m going to miss you all so much. You made this 55 year old feel like a kid because you all made me feel 30 years younger by accepting me as a fan.

I will also miss all the wonderful webmasters that I work for. This group treats me with such respect and in a way I feel that I am letting each one down. But it’s so much better to leave then to continue to be so inconsistent with my columns. I want to thank you guys for all that you have done for me, and making this one of the best highlights of my life. I’ve learned a lot from all of you and just like my readers you guys also made me feel like my opinions really meant a lot. I will never be able to thank you enough for hiring me and KEEPING ME.

I can’t believe that this is it. I’m starting to tear up, but I really do know this is for the best. I can’t thank you all enough for being with me through all the losses in my life and all my health problems. Your compassion and kind words always lifted me, and that I will always remember. Well I will say good-bye to my column, but hopefully many of you will keep in touch. And just remember I’m still going to watch the shows, but now I just might turn off segments that I could care less about. See I can do that now because I won’t be talking about them. So that’s a positive. And one more thing thank you for putting up with my constant lists of things that I didn’t like. I probably would have had another list from Monday’s show, but at least there were some highlights. To my readers, friends, and my wonderful webmasters, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
