:-P

Gotta aim lower: I widen out further down, kinda like a pear.

I missed you all, too.

Glad to have you check in again, Mark. I did wonder where you disappeared to. Anyway, now that you've told us you haven't been around, you have a great excuse to be absolutely clueless about what everybody's been up to here.

I'm sorry you're having to put up with silly games from your ex. I feel for you and hope you can get it over with fairly, quickly and with not too much (more) pain involved.

Nice to see you.

A protective order!? That means you are now Bad Ass. Congratulations! You should get a tattoo.

Hello, Mark!! :-)

I know about at least two blog posts (except for/besides the one by Pseudome here) mentioning "I miss Mark" (one from Ken Ian, the other from myself ) (-that's one of the "secondhand-heard things"? )...

The problem has been that I couldn't figure out how. I don't know how to be here "just a little". My identity here has been as the guy who reads everything.

(Or "the guy who can reply to everything" ...)

I can imagine this feeling ...

I've broken up the all-or-nothing streak

Good for you!! :-) I see it like a part of the learning that you don't have to avoid making decisions with the aim of not hurting others. You'll decide what to read and what to reply to without feeling guilty for "neglecting" other posts - am I right? ;-)

(BTW, one hint/help: you can easily skip replying to my approx. 2 weeks old PM as... it really doesn't need a reply, it was "just a vent" ;-)...)

I'm sorry about the ugly divorce :-( and wish you what Athena has already written...

Good luck!!! :-)

We've missed you! Sorry about all the stress and hard stuff right now. My thoughts are with you.

Yep, I missed you. I don't know why, but I did :-)

I also like the tattoo idea---maybe a tri-yang-le?

Take care of your needs.

applicable to many facets of life =j

That's a great one, Jai, and very true. Take care, Mark.
