I must say my farewells, at least for a 2ple of years or so.

I'm letting these 4ums keep me in a bad place, and my marriage isn't IN a bad place anymore.

I wish all the good people I've met - both here in cyberspace and at the MB lunches and other get-2gethers - a happy fu2re, either with your spouses (getting 2 recovery is SO worthwhile), or without them (after making a reasonable, hard effort).

"In my rear view mirror, the sun is going down.
Sinking behind bridges in the road.
And I think of all the good things
That we have left undone.
And I suffer premonitions,
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come.

The rusty wire that holds the cork
And keeps the anger in.
Gives way
And suddenly it's day again.
The sun is in the east
even though the day is done.
Two suns in the sunset?
hmmmmmmmmm
Could be the human race is run.

Like the moment when your brakes lock
And you slide toward the big truck.
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
And you'll never hear their voices.
And you'll never see their faces.
You have no recourse to the law anymore.

And as the windshield melts
And my tears evaporate.
Leaving only charcoal to defend.
Finally I understand
The feelings of the few.
Ashes and diamonds,
Foe and friend.
We were all equal in the end"

-Pink Floyd "Two suns in the sunset"

auf wiedersehn.

shalom.

aloha.

Live long and prosper.


(2 bad though, I was looking forward to asking you about the Mars mission, the water, and any interesting things the lander may have found).


carpe diem!

Whatever!!! lol This is grand departure # what?

2long, I don't need the forum anymore either but I appreciate the friendships I've made and I still think I have something to contribute. So do you. I'm not "stuck" in infidelity but I always feel I can give hope to people. It's funny that since I've back I've been insulted by some people (a very, very small minority) but, you know what, I don't give a rat's patootie.

You'll be back. lol

Be thankful you don't belong to SI. It's a wonderful website and forum but when you announce you're leaving you are "removed". When you try to log in you find you are blocked forever.

Just had to use this lol and this one if you don't come back :twobyfour:

That's a great idea!!!!! MB could benefit from that policy. I might have to email Justuss!

Happy trails my friend.. You will be missed for sure.

I certainly thank you so very much for all of the help you've given so freely to me and to others.

May God bless you in your travels.

I was afraid you'd leave again after reading your exchanges with Mel.

Have you found another active forum where you can share your opinions, thoughts, and feelings?

I doubt it is the same as MB where most of us share a similar history having experienced the same intense emotions dealing with infidelity. From model A/Antique Cars/trucks to telescopes....doubt they discuss stuff as in depth as here...and there are those OT discussions sometimes. But I understand.

I've enjoyed your contributions here. I am not spending as much time here but I had noticed you posting a bit again and always like to read what you have to say...and keep up with you and yours.
Some connections seem to be made that have value.

2Long...be well. See you soon.

Best of luck 2Long! I'll miss your viewpoints but I understand.

Yup, you've been very respected and appreciated around here.

You've given me lots of kind words

Thanks 2long

Take Care

Till we meet again, 2....na razie.

I'm kind of speechless. So I'll just say......

Thanks. The world is a better place because you are in it. God bless you, and yours.

PS, come by if you get a chance. We're still here.

Dogs and cats!

I was just driving by Herbie Heaven (that's what the kids call it) and thought, I really need to take a photo of that and send to 2Long.

HE'D like it as much as I do!

I second the "live long and prosper" bit.

I understand where you're coming from. I spend a LOT more time "on hiatus" than contributing here. It wears me down after a while, too.

Enjoy your break!

Hey 2Long, adios buddy. If you aren't helped by being here, then you gotta do what is best for you. You will be missed.

Larry

God's speed, 2long. See you tomorrow.

Hmmm. Guido will be watching … <sound of knuckles cracking> …

I know what you mean, though. I have been feeling your happiness.

err, that didn't come out right. How about, lately I could tell from all the way up here you are both doing much, much better. Congrats and wishing you all the best.

With prayers,

Fare thee well, 2long.

I wish I could think of something profound to say, heck something beautiful even, to let you know how you helped me. You inspired me to be a better person, and to except no less in my life than the person you are.

GB reads what you write on here. He even tried to PM you once, when we were having difficulty. You have indirectly influenced his life, even.

So for that, I am sending out into the universe a message that it is time. It is time for some little grandbaby 2longs. DD has been married long enough now. It is time.

Little grandbaby 2longs. And we want pictures and updates.



You could have had fun with all these new awesome emoticons...ah well.

Take care, friend.

Well, you ain't getting rid of me Bud. I know where you hang, and what you do. Besides you and I have to have a long rock discussion this fall. I need to some data.

You done good 2L.

JL

Ahhhh, yep!

Drop in every now and again...
