Many threads, many friends, many thoughts, many emotions, many unsaid things and many good memories. I want to thank everybody for interactions we had, good conversations, and great times here. I've cut WAY back as I'm trying to take a break from lds.net. I'm going to try but I'll check in now and then. There are very special people here that I'll miss BIG! thank u ALL for everything. Kisses to all. bye (for now) :bye::bearhug:

You were one of the few who welcomed me when I first joined a few days ago. And I thank you for that.

As for the time spent on the forums, I am fully aware of a term known as Screen-Sucked.

A good web site can have the tendency to screen-suck me into hours on the site, while my other responsibilities get put on the side burner. I am constantly looking at that little clock on my Start bar, and am amazed at how time flies on this site. I have to literally close the windows and reboot my computer.

In the early days of Prodigy, I used to have to pay for the long distance Internet connection. When my first phone bill came, the shocking reality of how many "minutes" I had spent online in an LDS group had a sobering effect for me. It wasn't the money so much, it was the "time" - which added up to 40 hours a week online. Yes, there are 168 hours in every week, but 40 hours is just too much when it comes at the cost of so many other responsibilities.

Thank you for your post. I am encouraged (again) to invest a nominal amount of time here, without getting screen-sucked into leaving my other responsibilities wanting.

My very best,

Michael

Thank you Dr T. You are a very courteous member of this forum. I hope I didn't scare you off. You signed off right after I posted in answer to one of your posts. I apologize if I have said or done anything offensive to you.

You have many friends here, including me, who would gladly welcome you back anytime. May the Lord truly bless you on your journey.
