I set up my babble mail so someone could alert me if somebody was dissin me behing my back.
Hey, I've been around the block, you know. When one says they're leaving, it's all nice and fuzzy, but once you close the door it's like,'The pr*ck has left the building!!' WooHoo! Fire up the margarita machine!! Partaaayyy!!'
Dr Bob's like,"He wasn't always uncivil but, let's face it, the guy has problems." Hey! No sh*t! I was fine till doctors put me on medication; then all hell broke loose...excluding my bowels.
You know, in all seriousness, back in 1947 when I arrived at babble, Dr Bob was paying us to post.
Still pays me. (Sorry Dr Bob..it slipped). The only stipulation was for me to put a magnetic sign on my truck saying 'See you at babble.' I can't tell you how nervous this made my clients and in the pizza delivery biz, I live off tips.
I don't know if everyone knows this but this was my 800th leaving babble post. Hey, you gotta do a friend check occasionally. Call it ego, eh?
_________Everyone has been so nice, but Nikki..what you said was incredible touching. I've read it 50 times and hope to commit it to memory some day. : ) Seriously, it was so sweet of you to post that to me.
I was pretty sad the other day when I posted. I really miss a lot of the old timers and didn't want to become a fossil here. There are so many people that have moved on(don't go Amy!)and I just get sad sometimes because, well, that's half my illness.
Anyway, maybe I spoke too soon. I now know that no one here has weapons of mass destruction.
What this true psycho-babble is leading up to is that maybe I shouldn't go just yet. This place is my home but it's not the place really, it's y'all...us.
So, I'm not ever going to talk in absolutes any more. Not *ever* (?)
Well, like I said, my mail is open and I have fresh coffee.
Besides, if I left, it would be one more OT'er splitting. I've still got a lot to say(take this post, please) and there's even more to learn.
Sorry this is so long-winded but we're all friends here. At least I hope we can be.
Phil
