"Hello everybody!" [/Dr.Nick]

So... What did I miss?

Yeah, it's been a while. Things haven't been what I would call fun. I think I've mentioned the Multiple Sclerosis before, but it led to me to leaving my job (that I loved), giving up my house (that I loved), and giving away my two cats (that I loved dearly). I'm now rooming with a friend of mine, and the hell that is applying for Social Security Disability is over, but all that took a lot more out of me emotionally than I realized. I know I got a bit aggressive with people on-line, and I'm sorry to anyone I might have offended here. I pretty much withdrew from the world for about a year after that. That's the short of it. If you want the nitty gritty, my sporadic and rarely updated web-log is at http://www.bay13.com

So the photo bug won't stay dormant forever. I haven't shot anything since March, but the itch is getting so bad that I have to scratch. Hopefully I'll have my printer working this week, and I'll have some shoots set up soon for the beginning of the year. I don't know how much I'll be around in the future, but I thought I would pop in. I also received a really nice e-mail from Daniel yesterday. It was really weird, too. I came over here just to take a quick peek and see what people were up to (didn't have time to really compose any posts), and about an hour later his e-mail pops up in my in-box. I hadn't bothered to log in, so it's not like he saw me browsing. Freaky-deaky.

Missed ya all,
Mark
 
Welcome back Mark!

Mark,

Good to see you back around here.
 
Welcome back, Mark! :cheer:
 
Wonderful to see you, Mark!
 
Mark,

You have definitely been missed around here. Daniel and I were exchanging PMs with me asking for updates on anything he found out. Needless to say, I am very happy that you've reappeared. I'm also sorry to hear that you've been going through so much.

You have a load of friends here that are very happy to see you return. No more being a stranger! :D

I'll try. But I'll always be strange.

Welcome back to the nuthouse, Mark! :)

Well, i'm sure they would have thrown me in here eventually anyway... ;)

Glad to see you guys are still here. I've been keeping up with the weblog of the Mighty Mandapants, but I don't know what Toby and some of the others have been up to.
 
Tobes is around. An infrequent flyer - but around. ;) Now that you'll be around some more, you'll probably run into him soon. :D
