 I may have just been overeacting. After I sent out that email I came to realize there is a lot going on in the world. Hurricane Katrina for one. Many parents and students are busy getting ready for "back to school". I am myself very busy right now. I don't have as much time to spend on the computer. I know I was overreacting. but I love this site so much and the community which has developed - that I just don't want to see it dry up and be forgotten. |

People in USA don't have to buy the single GOOFUS just because the Carpenters released it...it was one of their not so good moves on releasing it as a single....a poor choice. I guess the USA was right in its choice...
My thoughts,
Cam

Rick,
I know I'm one of the members who have not been on as much as in the past but it certainly is not because of disinterested because this site, forum and new found friends are something I am very happy to be a part of.
I will be honest here, though, and say that I felt a little down a short time ago and some people may think this is selfish of me but when I became a steadfast fan 30+ years ago, I always thought I was a dedicated fan. I even wrote a short story that I dedicated to karen and named it "Her Biggest Fan". That was, until I joined the forum and saw how many more people there were out there that knew so much more than I about the Carpenters. I felt like I let Karen and Richard down by not knowing all that about them and in a small way (and I do emphasize small because I love you all) I felt a little jealous that many of you knew more or even liked them more, if that can possibly be, than I do.
Anyway, I slacked off a bit but it's just because my life has become preoccupied with other things of late and I have not been able to go on the forum as often as I would like but I try to write at least a couple or more times a week.
Ken, I have to say that you are a delight. Your humor is definitely needed among us. We could always use a laugh too. My sense of humor has always kept me afloat. I love people and if I can make someone laugh, it makes my day too.
Thanks all, for listening!
Mary Ann (beaner)

I have just received a mail from Rick concerned that a lot of people have gone quiet & letters have dropped off/things aint like it used to be. This is my reply. This is my reply too: Rick and all Carpenters Online members!!: Every single day, I don't let it pass without read the messages you all send to this WONDERFUL site and two others more!. You don't see my posts, but I am alive in front of my monitor computer. God bless you all! Federico |

Rick, I think what may be going on here is a mirror of what went of for Karen and Richard. They put out outstanding work and you've been doing the same. People discovered the duo and people have discovered you. The attention was enormous and overhelming for them and for you. But, over time, people get caught up in their lives. We deal and struggle with many things that the online family isn't privy to.
Please, please, please know that I and we love you and will NEVER desert you. I for one will continue to visit the forum, read your postings and leave some of my own. I will also try to come up with new topics that will (hopefully) inspire and incite others to respond. That's all we can expect and hope for in each other. We're all human and doing the very best we can.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Carpenters were and are the greatest and everyone who contributes to the positive knowledge on this site is greatly appreciated and loved by me.
Rob
