Hi guys. It is you're favorite forum member (who's snickering?).

I've been out of commission for a while as life has thrown me few curves. In June my mother passed away after a battle with lung cancer. :( She was a very fun loving person, and could always put a smile on my face. The second curve is that I am now divorced. My wife went into a mid-life crisis about the time my mother was dying and she damned me for spending so much time with my mother instead of helping her.

Anyway, life has done it's best to humble me... and FAILED MISERABLY! :eek: So brace yourselves nitwits, I'm back.

Happy Holidays.

PS. I'll try to do a 2007 Gaming Summary post when a get the chance. I think you will be surprised. :)

Hey dude, welcome back! Very sad to hear about your family problems. I really admire your optimism and positiveness. Lot of people would fall apart if they were in your situation.

Happy holidays to you too.

We keep learning...

As I told you before, very sorry to hear of your family issues. But I hope you have a great holiday with your children.

It'll be nice to have you around here, posting again. Welcome back... and welcome home.

Happy Holidays.
I remember you. Aren't you the one who gave me lip some Christmases ago for the PC-indulgent "Happy Holidays" I wished everybody? :cool:

My sympathies for the life tragedies. Hope the kids are well.

Sorry to hear that Draz. Here's hoping you and your wife reconcile once things settle down. Emotions during crisis times are inflated things, they don't have to outweigh the true and lasting history that came before.

Son of a....Draz that sucks royally. :( Gald to see you are being strong about this, I'm not so sure I would be myself.

Welcome back none the less. :D You picked the perfect time, what with DNF and all.

Sorry to hear, Draz. Especially since I remember you very much as a family guy. On the other hand, like ShakeIt said, in a crisis like that things are oftn said and done that are reparable afterwards when you can see things in a different light. All the best to you and your family, whatever roads you may take.

And it's good to have you back! Sorry for the snickering... ;)

Thanks for the supports guys (and gals?!). :love: I am very optimistic about the present and the future. :) Life is good now for me and my children, so whatever got me here was worth it.

BTW, I was unfamiliar with the "new" General Messages rule which delays new topics, so my thread in Gaming appeared already. :) Don't worry, it will only take me a few more posts to optimize to the forum changes. ;)

Hope all you nitwits had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Yeah, basically you make a thread in GM and Joe has to accept it, so that there aren't so many "useless" topics going around.

:woot: Happy New Year draz \o

Holy crap man, I'm sorry to hear about all that. I know we haven't gotten along so well in the past but I hope everything works out for you.

I'm glad you're optimistic, and I know great things for you are just around the bend.

Welcome back, my friend :)
