I feel loved.
On a whim, I decided to check back in on this place and randomly searched my name to look for old threads. Lo and behold, there's not only a discussion of missing old posters, but I'm mentioned!
Thanks a ton, guys.
For anyone that's been curious, I'm still alive and kicking, still with the same girl, and will be getting married in less than two months. We've got our place settled now that she's moved to be with me, our stuff is mingled, and I've pulled her from the Dark Side to using a mac. Granted, it's not a new one, but that's neither here nor there.
I've been lurking for months, checking here every now and then to see if there's anything juicy on the horizon, but just didn't feel the fire I once did. Maybe I'll try dipping my toes back in the waters and see what happens. If I don't, though, at least you know I'm doing well and remember this place fairly fondly.
Take care,
TW
