Well THAT didn't take long....

[AZ Jim]

I thought this change was enough reason for me to seek greener pastures. I said I was no drama queen but I must have been wrong. Over the years Matrix has provided a real home for me, especially now with my dear wife having passed. I had it in my mind that because this new format required some relearning, I could go elsewhere and find a forum with a simpler format. I did find some that looked easier but in reading a little in them, I missed the feeling of warmth I had come to expect here. I was gone only a couple of days but it was long enough to cause me to miss my friends here. Bottom line I hope you guys forgive my drama and accept me back...

Welcome back Jim! So glad you are here!

 

[Linda]

Welcome back Jim. Glad you came back.

 

[win231]

Nothing to forgive. I think most of us were concerned that it was motivated by health issues that frustrate & depress all of us at times. And losing a loved one adds to it.

 

[JustBonee]

... pull up an easy chair Jim, and stay with us.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Welcome home!

 

[Sassycakes]

I am soo Happy you decided to stay Jim. You're like family to all of us.

 

[Trade]

Sooo good to see you Jim, you made my day!

 

[AZ Jim]

Thank you ! Never too old to learn...

 

[Lara]

You made my day too, Jim. I'm so glad you looked around though.
Now you know what's best for you. It's good to have you back.

It's not always easy but we're all in this together and having some fun along the way.
Just like tug-of-war. Now all you need is a nice cool ocean breeze there in AZ

 

[Olivia]

I was worried that you were really going to stay away. Now I'm happy you're back, Jim.

Welcome back, Jim. I don’t like the new format either, that’s why it’s a hard decision, but once I realized if I don’t make the change, the forum will die, this reality cleared all my doubt. For you the reality is that SF is your only online home, you have to adapt.

 

[AZ Jim]

I appreciate your dilemma. I love the crew here so I'll just adapt. Thanks for doing the thankless work of running this forum.

 

[jujube]

We left the porch light on for you, Jim. Glad you found your way home!

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

Glad you decided to come home. You were missed.

 

[Butterfly]

Jim, I'm so glad you've decided to return. It just wasn't the same without you -- you're important to us!

PS: How's your cooking coming along?

 

[terry123]

Good to see you, Jim. I am going to look and see before I leave completely.
