well alot has been going on with me since i left, from some of the threads i have posted in the past i'm pretty sure i have talked about depression and anxiety etc... stress being the cause, a big part of my initial time on this forum i was so active was because i was out of work, on FMLA leave from my work... mentally drained etc... just needed a break from it all, with FMLA leave you get 12 weeks worth off without it hurting your attendance etc @ work... i burned through that in 3 months back to back days. anyways, even after that leave i had to go on some medical leaves cause i just wasn't ready to go back to work... so from october last year till probably may of this year i wasn't working....

thank god for bonus checks... stock int he company i worked for sick pay, vacation pay, stimulus checks and tax returns, kept my and my wifes head above water bill wise.

anyways, recently found out i am a diabetic, and untreated could have ultimately concluded to my condition as well as the stress i was under at work.

so i dissapear off the forums, started going back to work going to a therapist to get stuff off my chest, ya sure i could just talked to anyone but for some reason its easier to connect with a complete stranger face to face that helps reality check things going on and constantly challenged me week in and week out.

I dropped off the computer scene for awhile because
1. working 9-6 and 11-8 plus working 6-8:30 part time at another job didn't leave much time for anything else.
2. my wife is now 3 months pregnant... hopefully nothing will go wrong this time.
3. age of conan was taking up what little computer time i had.

got a little board with age of conan kinda stumbled upon this site agian out of boredom and all hell has broken loose, well so it seems... hopefully kovich will change the site for the better, myspace exposure might do some good ??!? hrm maybe might regret saying that later haha.

aj i do have to say im a little dissapointed that your not "THE MAN" anymore, but im glad your sticking around.

obdurate, i got a laptop now, just haven't downloaded aim onto it yet, and my desktop when i do get on NO ONE is ever online... its like no one uses aim anymore so im debating whether the space is worth using or not lol...

don't really know what else to update you guys on... if i think of more i'll post.

Glad your back and congrats on the baby!

thanks.

Congrats knox, my man. Your life seems to be getting better. I mean, I knew a little bit about it before but it's nice to know more.

We kind of argued on aim a little bit and then you disappeared and I felt bad, . No really, I did.
Well you don't need AIM, I usually forget to go on but if you use MSN messenger you definitely need to add me cuz that's always on.

Good to see you back knox. Grats' on knockin' the ol' lady up, hope all goes well for you.

Welcome back. Hopefully all goes well for you now.

Congratulations on your baby, knoxbox. I pray that it will be a beautiful, healthy one.

Wow. It sounds like you have been REALLY busy with work. When do you have time to sleep?

I hope they get your health situation under control soon. Good luck with everything!

Sorry to disappoint you, but I think you would be even more disappointed if I didn't let someone else manage the site and I had no time to do it myself then the site just fell apart. I will stay active here as much as I can. Hope to see you around PTF a little.

AJ

Congrats Knox, good to see you back.

i know i know, i didn't really mean dissapointed in you, i understand not having the time... i dunno im just not a person that like change... but i do understand and im not saying it wasn't a good think, only time will tell. just hope you have some kinda backup plan if you ever want the site back.

thanks everyone for the kind words and the nice welcome back.

p.s. for some reason im not recieving emails when you guys reply to messages i checked the options and im subscribed and i've made sure my email doesn't have the site setup as spam and there isn't anything in my spam box from the site so i dunno why im not recieving the emails of replies.

Hi Knox you don't know me but welcome back
