I have to stop this charade... I can't stay away from this place. I thought I said goodbye on 10/11

[cherokeeprogressive]

I still read every day... every chance I get in fact. I still check in on my cell phone while I'm at work. Smoke a cigarette? Pull over and check out what's going on at DU. Wait for an offload? Check out what's going on at DU. Big News Story? Check out what's going on at DU.

I've posted in response to things I just couldn't keep my mouth (okay, fingers) shut about 14 times since then.

I hope no one minds...

I was going to make this a poll, but fuck me I was scared to log on and see the results LOL. I'll go this far: Say the word and I'll leave y'all alone.

1. Welcome back, you big lug!

I have missed you, and it pleases me no end to see you back here.........where you belong, I might add!

Please stay.

OK?

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. Dearest Peg...

Since you put it THAT way, what choice do I have?

Seriously though; after 8 years, the monitor and keyboard are like members of my family. If DU suddenly disappeared I'm not sure I could find another site that would hold my attention for more than a few days.

Thank You for the kind words... though I'm sure there are some who are thinking "f*ck..." It is what it is I guess LOL.

Have a Wonderful Evening!

4. I think I'm going to spend most of my time reading and posting in places other than GD though...

Cooking and Baking and The Lounge are places I read a lot but don't post much in.

I feel better already...

This was like giving up cigarettes Cold Turkey... ya buy a pack and tell yourself you'll only smoke ONE... but keep the pack anyway. One turns into TWO, two turns into THREE, and pretty soon Bic lighters seem to turn up all over the place!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I'm so glad you're back...

I feel better already too!

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. You're too sweet.

So sweet in fact, I feel a toothache coming on.

Sweet Dreams Doll... 5 a.m. comes awful early!

Thanks again.

9. Thank You.

Thank You Lots.

Smiling here...

[Aristus]

10. YOU'RE BACK!

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. But in a different way... I hope.

My plan is less confrontation. Meaning, less GD, more Cooking and Baking. Plus, I plan to become a Lounge Lizard.

Much Love...

PS Can't thank you enough for the kind words...

[fadedrose]

12. Leave us alone????

And make us spend the days wondering where in the hell you are?

Just check in. We all got better things to do than worry about you.

[petronius]

13. I was hoping you'd reconsider - stick around, dude!

[bluesbassman]

14. Glad you're back Brother.

[applegrove]

15. The more the merrier.

16. Wanker.

LOL

[TorchTheWitch]

17. I was hoping you wouldn't really leave

Nice to see you back again and so soon.

[Blue_Tires]

18. I know what you mean

All this time I'd been planning to leave once I crossed 10 years membership (that passed in April)

Then I was getting out after the Zimmerman acquittal (my ignore list then was like 250+ names)

And for reasons I can't explain, I'm still here...Guess I have nowhere else to go....

[Autumn]

19. No!!! Don't ever leave us alone.

Glad to see you back.

[ConcernedCanuk]

20. "Hotel California" comes to mind . . .

21. Dude, nice seeing ya!

How's the Mountain treating ya?

[rrneck]

22. Bwhahahahahaha

You'll never escape.

[Paladin]

23. Welcome back, and congrats on doing it the right way:

On your own initiative, with your same user name, and without any excess drama (the poll would have been a misstep).

[Agschmid]

24. Woohoo

[Callmecrazy]

25. I had a feeling you never really left...

I could feel your hot breath on my neck as you were lurking over my shoulder.
This place is Hotel California.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

[Phentex]

26. A break is always a good idea...

and at least you didn't attempt a total flame out like some other people. Then they gotta crawl back in like a dog who got caught eating out of the trash can.

I'm feeling better because a certain idiot troll is no longer stinking up the place.

[ismnotwasm]

27. Oh hell

I was going to leave two days ago.

Decided to start posting more instead

[Skittles]

28. you want I should kick your wavering ass, cherokeeprogressive?

YOU GET BACK HERE!!!
