WOW Bev and Thank You for your kind, empowering and inspiring words ... and yes, i too, as an entrepreneur, spent most of my life in that control mode ... and am truly looking forward to this less stressful way of running our groups. For those of us who have been at that stressful moderator's control panel, they too, will soon realize what a relief in the stress load of moderating a group(s).
The idea behind the group(s) creations was to give us a place to vent & wind down from our everyday stresses of the concrete jungle ... a place to play & share with one another, here in cyber space ... and now with our Twisted MisfitsCafe.Biz concept ... we can eventually pick up a few extra bucks for ourselves and loved ones. Kind of like getting paid to play. - lol
Yes Bev, i'm really looking forward to our new "Coasting Mode" when it comes to running our network of groups. --- Looking Forward, as always & again, Thank You - steve :-)

Steve...will simply say that whatever you decide is fine with me. I am not a "control" person - have been there, done that in both my prior professional life and always my personal life and am into a coasting mode now as much as one can be who is totally responsible for another adult who can't care for himself.I am truly sorry about the situation with Heather, but hopefully time and distance will allow tensions to diminish and everyone might get a new perspective not just on the Groups and everything involved with that, but another good look at life and what really is important...that being family.I am really sorry for all the stress in your life at this time when you are personally fighting serious health issues, but you are a strong and level-headed man and am so glad your good friend Steve Pix has come on board...he is perhaps an "outsider", meaning not close family..and will also be good for you as a sounding board as well.YOU, Steve, are the owner of all our Groups...you and only you..and that I feel is something some people fail to remember. You do what has to be done for the betterment of your Groups..they are not just fun for you, but they are your livelihood. It is because of all your abilities, your time and your talents and your desire to provide both entertainment as well as knowledge to others that you formed your many groups and made them available to all of us searching for something...we didn't know what, until we stumbled upon one of your groups and then the rest has become history for all. Your Groups didn't appear by magic out of the air ...it was a great deal of hard work (based on your lifelong garnering of knowledge) on your part to bring everything together into something wonderful that we all enjoy today...some of us don't just enjoy, but we are addicted.Again, Steve, for myself, I want to thank you and everyone else who works so diligently behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly for those of us "on this end" to enjoy and have fun.Sending you a tight warm hug....and all my understanding.Peace, my dear Friend...peace of mind, body, and soul.Always...your "old" friend..........Bev.

I hate it when stuff changes---Diane wrote:can only invite people.... is this intentional if so maybe i should leave ... and ...I dont understand ihave given my heart and soul....and i dont understand......(plus sent several personal emails to other mods & myself) - lol----StumpySteve sez,Relax gang ... while yes there are a few changes underway ... most were planned long before the Heather situation. And so you'll know, this is more of a falling out between Heather & KittyRose and not as much as the groups themselves. You see, while KittyRose has been a friend of the family for decades and became my caregiver after my stroke in 2002 ... it was only 13 months ago that Rose became Heather's Step Mom. So without getting to personal, i think you can imagine what this type of change could bring.As for me personally, stepping down from the moderators control panel will be a good thing thing ... i promise you, it's all good. KittyRose, Becky & Steve Pix came up with a great idea so that ALL group members can take part in the groups moderation without the use of any management control panel ... i'm telling you ... you ALL will really love this idea, since it will require less management time and allow for more play time.Also remember, we now have 60+ paying PROmisfits (and growing like a weed) who are ALL qualified to be control panel moderators ... but yahoo will only allow for 12 slots at a time. So please relax and be patient as these new Special Notices are put out to ALL members. There will be one notice to all of the existing control panel mods in just a few minutes ... then followed by an all groups notice which will show how ALL members can help moderate the groups without the control panel.Additionally, there will be no need for any new staff voting procedures. Steve Pix, an old family friend (almost like a son in law - lol) and a long term group member has agreed to buy out Heather's share of the MisfitsCafe biz and take over in her stead ... and since KittyRose, Becky & myself still hold the lions share of the voting stock ... there will be no need for an all out members vote at this time.This is one advantage to having the controlling interest of the MisfitsCafe.Biz under one roof ... when changes do present themselves ... situations can be resolved more quickly. However, on the flip-side of this ... when you have several strong minded misfits coming and going all the time under the same roof .... occasional tempers will fly ... glad you ALL missed that part. - lmaoSo for now, you all continue to play and have fun ... keep the lasagna flying ... and let your staff here at HQ take care of the business end. Watch for our additional notices coming soon ... K?!

Will only say, Steve, definitely am sorry to see Heather has decided to leave. She did a lot of work in the background that perhaps she didn't feel was truly appreciated....when in fact it was. Maybe she was feeling being taken for granted. Certainly hope not....but sometimes those of us here should have been saying "thanks" to her. Really am sorry I for not did not take that step, Steve. And I know she will be missed.I do wish Heather well in whatever she does decide to do...maybe a break away for a few months or even a year or so from the pressure and stress of everything here in the Groups will do her a world of good and let her get a new focus, a new perspective.And, Heather is definitely entitled to take all her investment funds with her, no question about it. They are hers to do with as she wishes. Just ask her to please stay away from the casinos....she can't double your money there:)Again, I truly wish her luck in any and all future endeavors and as well know everything will be well taken care of in the capable hands of KittyRose, BeckyK and JollyJohn. They have my utmost support, for what it is worth...but am sorry there is not much more than I can do, with both my limited time and current knowledge.On 19 October 2010 00:09, Kid Curry wrote:

Please Note: This is the first of a series of Special Group Notices which will take place over the next few weeks. Effective immediately, Heather & i have removed ourselves as group moderators. However, the PROmisfits account will still remain as the sole MisfitsCafe group owner and will be jointly managed by KittyRose, BeckyK & JollyJohn. I will only be available to help coach them along (in the background - here at HQ).Personally, i will no longer be able to monitor group emails or any replies to my post ... unless you contact me personally (off group) ... Yep, you got it baby ... StumpySteve is going one on one. Heather has quit altogether and has indeed requested a full refund of her MisfitsCafe account. :(With Heather's resignation, this means in order to satisfy our Operational Agreement here at the MisfitsCafe HQ ... (which requires our LLC to maintain a volunteer staff of five at all times) ... we will need to nominate and hold an election which will involve ALL group members who are registered with the MisfitsCafe ... and as always, each member is entitled to one vote for each Tip Jar they hold.More details on the nomination & voting procedure will come over the next few days. In order to contact the group owners regarding any issues, please use admin@misfitscafe.bizThank you for you attention - steve :-)
