I logged in this morning to say goodbye as well. Peace be with y'all. I'm out. Before I could even hit the new thread button, I saw J.Scott's message about hanging it up. I wish him well on the path he has chosen. That guy was worried about cheesiness in his check out post. Well, let me just raise that bar a little.
I'm leaving for a different reason. I'm leaving because I found someone that makes me truly happy. I'm leaving because I found someone that gives me everything I need, who makes me whole, who makes me smile, who makes me realize what love truly is. The cool thing is, she wouldn't care if I hobbied or not. I just no longer have a desire to. I found what I have been looking for for a really long time. I'm in love.
I've been around since long before ECCIE was. I was there for the aspd days back in the late 90's. I've never met actually met any of the guys here in the real world, but I have enjoyed the witty banter throughout the years. I'm met some nice women (and some bat shit crazy ones as well). Some were fun, some weren't. I tried to tell you guys about the ones that were fun but generally shied away from saying crap about people because I didn't want to hurt feelings just because I had a shitty time. Momma raised me to be nice. When I'm gone, y'all try to be nice as well. Kindness goes a long way.
I will pop in from time to time to say hi but as for playing, the spurs have been hung up. Bpop and Big Louie - y'all keep these guys in line. Ladies, I wish you all the best. It's been fun.
Peace out -
Texag (the really big, really nice guy around here)
