Everybody has had mentors and hero’s throughout the years in this game. Someone who has touched your life in such a way that you’ll never forget them. Private moments shared that nobody knows about, but you’d love to tell. Though some acquaintances have been brief they are note worthy of mention. Then there are those ’s who are “Celebrities” in our eyes. “Legendary Detectives,” who not only affected you, but everybody that knew them, and yet their presence is still felt, though absent from the message boards. Great detectives retired or no longer active, but missed. Well, lets bring memories to life by paying tribute to them.

Without a doubt my two hero’s are the King and Queen of Sleuthsville, Ben and Sunny Ringold. From the first day I joined Sleuth, I was honored by their presence and through the years formed friendships. One great memory I have was when I called Ben and Sunny at their home one evening, all upset and crying. I was in a panic and in desperate need of their help. You see, after I left the first agency I joined here to start my own, one of the members left to join mine. I done everything I could to discourage her to go back, but she wouldn’t hear of it. This resulted in ill feeling against me. I started receiving hate mail from one of the directors, which soon turned X-Rated. The language was so defensive, I became an emotional wreck. Desperate and crying I called Ben at home. I’m sure when he answered the phone he didn’t know what to think of me, but he was kind and assured me that he'd check into it and see what he could do. Well, all I know is the harassment stopped and I was grateful. Through the years I have often thought about this and it's kept me smiling. By the way, if they didn‘t think about getting an unlisted phone number, they should have. *Wink*

Today a couple of "Ole Timers" lifted my heavy heart and brought a smile to my tear stained face as I read their messages. All day my spouse kept urging me to get on Sleuth and play, that it would help take my mind off my problems, but I kept moping about the house until I decided Sleuth was what I needed. I'm so proud I logged on because these messages brought a burst of sunshine to my dark day. To my delight I had a message from JSTKDN aka, Nikkie, Lady Emerald Devon, and Autumn Springs. First, I want to say I love and respect Nikkie, and I'm so proud of her accomplishments. Next I want to say thanks to Autumn Springs for her kind words. I have often fretted about some of my threads, about whether I should or shouldn't post something, but when she told me that she loved reading them because it made her giggle, it made me feel proud that I had brightened someone's life, so thank you Autumn Springs, and I think you are an asset to this game and greatly loved by all.

Now last, but not least, I received a short message from Lady Emerald Devon, asking me if I remembered her, and about the anti-inflammatory cream she mailed to me, which really made my day. For you see I wanted to mention this story before now, but since I wasn't quite sure of her Sleuth name, I decided to wait until I came across it, or heard from her, and low and behold I did today. So.....here's our story:

About eight years ago when I use to play this game throughout most of the day and usually all night long, I became close friends with Lady Emerald Devon. It was during this time I suffered horrible back pain, due to six ruptured disc. Though the pain was excruciating from sitting all night, I was addicted to solving case after case, while chatting with my Sleuth family. Because of the pain I often found myself complaining to my close pals, and yet I wouldn't stop playing when even they told me to stop and go to bed and get some rest. Most would say I was crazy, and if you asked my spouse he would tell you I needed serious counseling, and not only that, but that I had neglected him, so much so that he had to resort to eating sandwiches, LOL! Well, not all the time...hehe. Okay, to cut a long story short, while during one of my chatting sessions with Lady Emerald, I mentioned my back was killing me and she responded that she could buy this anti-inflammatory cream that would help with the pain, and of course I was interested and wanted to order some. After a brief exchange of information and my home address, within a couple of days she announced she had purchased me a jar and it was being shipped to my home. Of course I asked her how much I needed to send to her, but she quickly said that it was a gift and she hoped it helped. Needless to say, I used all of the cream and it was a blessing. No you may not believe this, but I still have the container in my medicine cabinet, and though empty I wouldn't part with it because it was a gift from my sweet and caring sleuth buddy. Now, is this what you call being dedicated to a game? I think so, and by the way, thank you Lady Emerald Devon. I love and appreciate you. Love always DaRu, and your Sleuth buddy, Debra *

PS: LOL, not sure how it happened, and it is weird, but I've noticed that my original thread here has been changed by some of my words having numeric symbols added. If possible, could a Moderator make the necessary changes? Thanks guys:D

I will admit I need reading glasses, but I was pretty sure I had typed it correctly the first time. *Wink*
