Er, well, actually I like you and I am gonna miss you.

When you decide to come back, no big announcements, just come back.

As for the mailing list, well that is software. Your call. It always will be.

Was your choice to come, is your choice to go. The door is always open.

I know you have been feeling down lately and hope that you feel better soon. Never once would I have thought that you did not fit in. I do hope that you decide to come back. I will think good thoughts for you.

Think good thoughts,

Tim, I know I'm not the only one upset hearing of your departure. Even though we really didn't get to know each other, any loss of a member from this group is quite painful.

I certainly hope you return some time down the road. But, however, if it is not meant to be, I wish you nothing but joy for the rest of your life.

Sorry that you are down. I don't understand - we are all unique here and you seemed to fit right in. Also, consider your post on the 17th - Thanks for this place or somesuch.

Do what's best for you, but know that you will be welcomed back with open arms and encircling hugs and you can always e-mail your friends here as well since we're glad to be a part of your life.
And just where the he** do you think you're going?"  [message #5154 is a reply to message #5148] Sat, 19 October 2002 01:38 Go to previous messageGo to next message

If anyone here should feel out of place, or more correctly out-of-sync, it is I, and not you.

You are part of a most worthy and valuable whole, one that will not be quite as complete with your going.

I for one have enjoyed, and looked forward to, your contributions *posted* here.

You're also my next-door neighbour, and just possibly at some time in the future we might have even met. Now you are telling me, and all of the others here, that that is not going to be possible. I don't was to accept that.

Call me: 416-498-6997

It's my non-published direct-dial number. It will reach me day or night, excepting the three or more times a day when I'm walking my dogs (and they decide when that is, I don't), so if the phone does not answer, call again in half an hour and I'm sure to pick it up. There's no Call-answer, and no Visual Call-waiting on the line either. If it rings, and I'm available, I answer. Simple as that.

Hey Tim........ why do you think you should have to go?? what has made you feel like this?? did something remind you of something painful recently?? Please dont leave ok?

I am sure that your days are tough and that sometimes it seems overwhelming but, if you dont come here and maybe get a laugh, smile at a post, agree with someone or, disagree with someone, how will you KNOW that you arent the RIGHT person to help?

We are unique and many people never see the obvious and yet others do. How do YOU know that a soul may happen through here and require some help that only YOU have an insight to?? wouldnt ya feel just a little silly that you werent here to impart your wisdom? I think you are cool Tim. DONT LEAVE OK???

If ya continue down this path, I will have to have the Kangaroo mafia come over there and force feed you A shrimp and make ya drink Fosters OK?? Just stay Tim, thats all Smile

You might feel that way right now, but it's only a small part of you. I bet the major part of you wants to be here with us, it's just that since you're feeling down it's easier to listen to that little part and seek to isolate yourself.

Don't do that. Fight it! Please! It is not the way to make things better for you, or easier.


We're your friends! Talk to us. I know exactly what you feel when you told me about not being able to open your email account, I've been somewhere in that area so many times in my life I lost count long ago.

Talk, please. If not here, then in email. You know how to reach me! {{{{hugs you}}}}


Always wishing the best for you (of course!):

Tim - I'm late (as usual) but my thoughts echo all that have gone before - if you haven't quite gone yet, then please re-think.

I wanted to go before I even said hello and if I had I know it would have been one of many mistakes I have made in my life.

Whatever your reasons - and I'm sure they are valid - stick around - just keep an eye on what's going on here, you don't need to let us know your browsing, but allow us to believe we haven't really lost you, as the pain of losing a friend under any circumstance is quite unbearable.
