You know who you are.
I am grateful to say on this board, I have a load of them.
Thank you.
Thank you for thinking of me.
Thank you for reaching out to me.
While I have been quite busy doing two jobs, I have had a bunch of other things that caused me to run from the folks I enjoy being around most.
Don't ask.
Hard to explain.
Only those that go into a dark world once in a while would know.

Bottom line, I truly, truly ran from the folks that brought sanity to my world and the folks that where genuine, generous, and just a great bunch to be around.

I can't promise I won't hide again some where down the line but I want you all to know it is not you the reason and if anything, yesterday made me realize how much fun we are when we get together and share times, smokes, drinks and memories.

Thanks to all and again, you all know who you are.

God bless you Carlos... and thanks for well-stating the reality of this community.

It really is an Asylum in the sense it was created as a haven... a gathering place for mutual help, enjoyment, and encouragement.

We joke about it as an institution for the insane. Truth is, this place is one of the things I am blessed with in my life that helps me maintain my sanity!

Glad you are at a better place in your life. Thanks again for the thoughtful post.

Hello Carlos,

We've never met, but it appears that we share the same occupation and possibly in the same industry. I went through a brief but mentally stressing period about a year back when I thought I'd lost my job due to layoffs. Thanks to a few of the BOTL's support here it helped make a difference in keeping focused and on track. These were folks I knew from "The Jungle" that migrated here. Hopefully, I will be able to meet them one day, and I can only imagine it will be through smiles and tears...

As Joe (SmokyJoe) states "this place is one of the things I am blessed with in my life that helps me maintain my sanity!"
