Yes, another embarrassingly self-centered post but some of you are wiser than I and generally avoid AMT (sorry, SD, I should have listened- you are wise!) so I wanted to give a heads up so as to be able to keep in touch with those here would wold like to. My auto-renewal runs out in two weeks and I won't be here after that. If you want to keep in touch by FB, email or, best of all, cards and letters, please PM me and I'll give you my mailing info.

Thanks friends.

Peace and Love,

Brian

    Thanks Hedo. I'll miss your cool music posts! So many you've put up that I hadn't seen before. Very cool!

    BLux, I've enjoyed reading your posts down here. I'm not an AMT girl. I'm sad that it is taking you from us, but you need to do what is best for you. Know that you will be missed. :hug:

    I've taken up to 3-4 months off in the past - it does help Brian. You are a positive force on these forums - hate to see you go man.

    don't go, Brian! :bawling:

    just stay out of the cesspool aka AMT. I drop in occasionally but trying to "discuss" opposing points of view is a fool's errand.

    Please don't go away forever Brian. You would be too sorely missed here.

    Hey, love to all of you guys. I'll think about coming back in a while. I'm not sure how long. I just have to do this for now. I'm not totally sure why but maybe it has to do with how I'm too opaque, let too much show, too hot tempered, way too effing sensitive, need to get centered again and to not lose it publicly. God that all sounds selfish as hell. I'm sorry friends. Truly.

    Don't be sorry Brian,
    It's a sign of weakness.

    Damn PJf, you are the king of humorous trolls (except when you're not). The fun parts, I will miss the devil out of. The mental nuggies and barbs-- I'll get over them! Might even miss them too from time to time :smiley:

    Best of luck Brian. I echo the others in that I hope to see you back soon. You're wise to step away and take care of yourself. Life is too short and too precious to be filled with anxiety over what should be a place for pleasure.

    Brian, I've been thinking of this song a lot as my expatriation anthem.

    Thought it might apply to your move as well.

    Hope you do reconsider. I'd miss you more than I'd miss America.

    I think I have your address...I need some help with some old books.

    Best of luck on your sabbatical...I'm not saying goodbye because you'll be back... :)

    FB keeps me connected to friends but emails or cards and letters are better. I'm in no way out of anyone's league, FoxyRed. Just trying to understand how it all spins. But too much of that is called "spin cycle".

    Maybe see you next years sometime after I get out of the ditch again.

    Good luck Brian - thanks for your passion and especially for being a solid voice on AMT - as a recent newbie on there, I had no idea what I was getting into and you stepped up to let me know I was out of line.
    Take care!
