Since I can't stay away for long (part of my problem) let me say this I HAVE THE PROBLEM HERE. No you, not anyone else.
If you felt slighted by the way I bid farewell, sorry. I meant no offense, but I need to make a break here. I found that I was spending about 40 hours a week reading, responding, pondering and researching my responses for the CF Community list. That is a problem. My quality of life was dropping like a stone, my wife was furious at me and I was not liking what I was doing to her. I need to get MY head on straigh. Coming to CF Communityland for a respite is fine, I was living here. I had little outside of work and CF Community in my life. I have to change that. Erika, of everyone here, I will miss you, Mike and Judith the most. Please accept my apology for upsetting you. I would like to remain your friend.
