Waiting for Mike to come back

Well done Dogman! Come home Mike!

And that is a marvelous photograph, so much atmosphere. Poignant, not just for the dog’s hoping.

Saw your self portrait Mike of last month in that thread. You can’t be getting around in that gear outside of RFF.
 
I hear that nobody says “no” to the Dogman.

I’m sitting at home (stuck in the house) waiting for a typhoon to pass by. With time on my hands I started thinking about the whole mess I left behind at RFF. I started thinking internally about how I could have handled things better. Of course there were many ways I could have handled things better; none of which I chose to do. I’m 69 years old, one would think that by now I’d be smarter, more mature, perhaps even have a little bit of wisdom going for me. Alas, that was not the case, I immediately opted for immaturity and over reaction. I bailed out without even a goodbye to the friends I’ve made here over the years.

So, with all this on my mind I came back to RFF to take a look at what was said, what I said and to think about what I could and should have done better. I see that the Mods/Admins have cleaned things up considerably; thank you.

Then I noticed this thread started by Dogman, the nicest member of RFF. I was seriously touched by him and the picture of his dog. Like they say “nobody says no to the Dogman”.

And, with that and perhaps to the disappointment of some other members…. I’m back!

Time heals all wounds, I hope so. Or per Groucho Marx, “time wounds all heels”. We shall see. Either way, I hope to do better in the future.

Apologies to the forum members that I hurt or disappointed and thanks to the members that have asked me to return to RFF. And, lastly a special thank you to Dogman.

All the best,
Mike
 
We come, we go, we return, we leave again. Only to reappear.

I've done it so many times since 2006, I feel almost like the legendary Australian diva, Dame Nellie Melba and her 27 farewell concerts...

(I will humanely spare you my party rendition of the Jan Peerce tenor role in La Boheme.)

I have this theory that RFF can be supremely addictive.

Being my usual Sagittarian foot-in-mouth self, I'd no idea you had left. So yeh, welcome back!!

This place would not be the same without you. We all know this, and you can take consolation in it.

Well...hell, I'm so happy I could just ####.

But, seriously, I am so very glad you reconsidered and returned. It wouldn't be the same place without those people on the street I love seeing.

I'm sure it was actually the picture of Christie Dawg that influenced your decision. She said it would and, of course, she is in charge around here.
