Ok this has been longtime coming. I am going to do something I swore I would not, but here goes. I have been gone a while to work on my life- my son and marriage mainly. I did not want to get well intended but maybe not helpful advice. But I am back one day and have been louded out.
I love FFR and have made what I thought were many friends. I have laughed and I have cried. I have seen many come and go and even saw one banned. But I hate how some people here choose to air out their grievances with each other publicly. In the real world, most of us, I know me for sure, would not do that, but instead talk privately. Well I have always ignored anyone trying to start something in public. But I can no longer do that since it is now me being attacked. So I am leaving this time for good.
I have been here to have fun, make you laugh and learn and share my life. But I find that is no longer possible here. Thanks to all:

God bless you all in this forum. I never wanted to leave this way, but I will not act like I am 20 and get into a public dispute with ANYONE ever.
Oh yeah- I almost forgot JD, I really miss our laughs, chats and morning coffee, I will still tune in on Sunday though. JR, I am truly sorry to make this public, but I needed to say good bye and God bless all. And with this I cry again.
Oh my- one more Dave! But we talk on the phone now, so not good bye, but talk to you soon. Ok now I am leaving
no, i really don't like to say goodbye. i don't think you should leave forever. if you feel like you need a little time away that's ok, but i don't think you should make it permanent. i don't "know" you very well, yet i feel a connection. and sometimes just from observing, i see, that you "make" the forum. i realize that you have a lot on your plate to deal with, and maybe you need some time away to regroup.
well, i'm not one for a whole lot of words, but i just wanted you to know that i don't want you to leave. fences can be mended.
God Bless and Keep You and Your Family, Ruby. -- ds

farewell Ruby. I will also be truly sorry to see you go. You and I never quite saw eye to eye very much on a few things but that is what made it fun. You will be missed.
. Ok now I am leaving
