I've missed you also, MCLC. I remember seeing it in posts somewhere of someone wondering what happened to you.

Hey all,

Wow, I didn't realize that it has been a year since I've graced everyone with my presence
I guess it didn't matter though. I just spent some time browsing through this thread(to appease my own curious nature and it's nice to see if you're missed)only to find out that it wasn't the case. I can't lie, it stings a bit. More than a bit really. I spent a good amount of time on here for a year talking with everyone about all kinds of things. Laughed a lot(mostly thanks to Triple O and Scott but many others too), cried(R.I.P Sharon and various members fur babies including my own) PM'ed with several people, and just all around shared. I guess I never really became a member of the Ka-Tet and I'm not sure why. I suppose that's life in a nut shell. People come and go, some make a difference and some don't.
I would like to thank Cat, Sigs(don't know what happened there after reading the last few pages, don't need to know), and Linda for asking about me. I appreciate it ladies and I hope all is well and good with you. I truly hope all is well and good with everyone and I think about some of you from time to time. I hope anyone in the eye of this storm is safe and sound. And last but not least, I hope you ALL are happy and have good lives, friends, food, and fun. I don't think I'll come back other than to check news and the like. I don't mean that in a childish manner and I bear no ill will. In fact, I'll miss some of you quite a bit but as above, so below. That's life. Nobody has to respond or PM. I'm okay and I wish nothing but the best for all of you. Really.
Please take care,
Lori

Hey Lori, you're looking at this from the wrong angle.... doesn't matter if people didn't ask where you were.... only matters that they are happy you're back!!!! My Teddy and myself were off the board way longer than we should have been, life gets in the way sometimes and the good folks here know this. But the wonderful thing about the SKMB is that no matter why or how long you are gone you are welcomed back like the proverbial "prodigal son".... and believe me, there are folks here that are also on twitter and facebook and keep their ears open for those of us that can't be everywhere at once. That being said..... WELCOME BACK!!!

Can't say I've ever looked through this thread to see whether I've been missed during my various absences from the board. I can be gone for months at a time so usually post here when I reappear just to check in with everyone since it's a sticky thread, and posting a "howdy" elsewhere could be easily missed. This thread was originally started as a place to enquire after missing members, and also as a place for those who intentionally planned on disappearing for a while to post they would be MIA so people would not worry...but it certainly wasn't created so people could get upset that they may not have been "missed" enough. I choose when to visit the board and I'm always made to feel welcome when I return, so I wouldn't worry that people may not have been questioning my absence.

That's fine if you've never done it. I did. We all differ on thoughts and feelings and I'm glad you shared yours on the subject. I agree with a few points that you made and disagree with others and that's what makes the world go 'round

Congrats on your bun! :very_drunk:

(that's me having one for you in a toast)

misery chastain loves co. · Oct 7, 2016

Okay, so I feel like an idiot. But in the best way possible(yes, those two feelings CAN coexist!) Leave it to Scott to put me in my place. Some things never change ;-D

and I wouldn't want it any other way. Of COURSE I was going to come back and check just in case there were replies

I wrote that OP with my heart and not my head. I never meant to imply that nobody cared but you're right it did come off that way a bit. I truly tried to write it in a way that was sincere and kind and in re reading it, it sounds whiny which I HATE. I truly wasn't fishing for you guys to give me warm fuzzies (but since you did... :cheerful:

) It's been said and that's the way I felt at the time but I was solely seeing my side and not everyone else's. I forget that some of you have been on here for many years and have seen people come and go over time.
Let me end this by saying thank you to those that said kind words. You have no idea what they mean to me. I missed you guys too. I consider many of you friends and I know being gone for a year doesn't help to sustain a friendship but life got busy. (an unexpected deployment factored in there before I officially got out of the Guard. Not to a war zone.)
Like that Oscar winning actor Ahnuld says "I'll be baack" whenever I can because Dio is right, I need to give him hell about those nasty leprechaun colored uniformed Jets ;;D

Thanks everyone and again, I hope those in the storm are okay.
Have a good weekend!

And what do you have against leprechauns? I have leprechauns in the family, I'll have you know.
:aloof:

Glad you're back... Tarry awhile.

Wow - you sound sad

I am sorry that you feel like you were not missed.

You were (are) a member of the Ka-Tet - and like you say people do come and go but the ones who really care always come back. I would like to think you are one of those people.

Please don't give up on us - you WERE definitely missed.

Welcome back to SKMB

Just start posting again. We sometimes go through a little lull here but overall I think it is a great place!

(((( misery chastain loves co. ))))

I hope all is well with you and yours :thumbs_up:

Hey misery chastain loves co. I've probably talked to you a few times, but not enough ...that happens, I'll see some regulars around and not get a chance to blab with 'em that often ....

So not true! you have been asked about in private messages to moderators and between others. And various threads can bring up the question, "where is _______?" Especially when something in it reminds them of the missing person. So, not ALL comments about someone missing is in the Wherefore Art Thou thread.

We always wonder where someone has gone, and hope everything is okay.

Welcome home!

Dana Jean said:
And Mr. Nobody, the same goes for you too, what I said above to Misery. Everyone is always wondering where someone is.

Exactly this...

Welcome back misery chastain loves co. It's nice to have you back among us.
I love that the MB (and website in general) draws people back, and it's like this living, breathing thing, ever changing... growing, perfect considering its host.

Don't feel like an idiot either. This is a pretty forgiving bunch, too. Nice to see you posting. Lots of us have had many things going on in our lives over this past year. Hope you are doing okay and keep checking in here now and then!

yay, the real you is back. Welcome home and perhaps you could make up for the last year. A few new posts and we will be happy. :smile:

MCLC- welcome back and stick around!!! I'm glad to see you back here. As stated above- those who have been around for a long time see members come and go, but we're ALWAYS happy to see them come back home. I went Todash myself a short while back (for various reasons), but I came back as I just can't get this place and these people out of my mind. It's really the only place I feel comfy and amongst friends, other than in my own home.

Gah!
Two weeks again went by and I didn`t post here.
And nobody missed me?
W.T.H ?

Kidding, kidding, it was sweet to read these posts from and about Misery.

I see I missed some drama here, which is awesome, nobody needs drama in their life, I feel sorry for those affected.
Sending good vibes to everybody.
Me? I`m OK.
Nice day today.
Apart from my right ear STILL ringing a bit from all that guitar noise at the Airbourne concert on Wednesday, it`s the 14th anniversary of my wife and I having our first date. Like it was yesterday, still going strong like ever...

My kiddo and her schoolmates ran some laps in honor of Terry Fox ( man, was she ever proud of making it through 3 laps around the school, which was not easy for a kid ), bought 8 movies for 8 bucks, a book by David Baldacci for $5 ( HB,... 1st/1st), had some super energy for exercising so it was almost 2 hours on the elliptical ( must be the extra love in the air ) , cleaned the house and...well, what more does one want from life?
I`m good, thank you God, let every day I`m alive be half as good as today, you will never hear me complaining.
Hope you all are gonna have a great weekend.
Try to be as happy as you can, in the end, this dream is short and we are not that long around, even if we live to be a hundred...
