Hello.

You may, or may not, remember me. I used to be a fairly active poster on this board, and several others.

I'd like to apologize to anyone who feels that I left abruptly (I did) or anyone who felt slighted.

My personal, and professional, life has taken a serious path downward.

At the moment, I don't have regular access to the 'Net, or I WOULD be here daily.

My health has been declining in the last few years, and it turns out that it has gotten much worse thatn I thought.

I'll try to get access later, and try to increase my time spent with y'all, my friends.

I wanted to apologize to those who felt I left badly.

I love you guys.

Rudy! you're back!

well, im sorry to hear about your health and all that. i wish i could do something to make it better, but im afraid i cant as of yet, except for my prayers.

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

I've never had the chance to meet you, but from the many people here who've missed you i've been told that you're a great person. You've got all the hopes that this fifteen year-od can muster that things improve for you.

Be strong,

RudeDawg 09-29-2001 07:50 PM

I just got to another public kiosk. (I'm at a mall. Earlier I was at a library, and it was closing.)

First, thank you everyone for your sentiments.

Second, Cloudy... since I can only access the Ether from public terminals for now, ICQ or MSN is not an option for me... I can still check email sporadically. To you, SweetCloudQueen, I owe the largest apology. I should have at least explained before I pulled my disappearing act. Mea Culpa. Por favor, disculpame...

OK... let's get this out of the way. I don't want to dwell on this, nor do I ask for sympathy or pity. PLEASE, I'm not very gracious when people treat me differently because of my health. That was one of the main reasons I stayed away...

Short story on my professional life... The company I worked for basically lied to me, and falsified documentation regarding my liscence to practice. I was given a choice by the state Board of Health to step aside and reapply for my liscence next year. Belive me, it was a LENIENT ruling for me personally. My former employer was judged accountable. (score ONE for the good guys)

While this was happening, I left my circumstances get away from me. As some of you know, I have had to undergo medical therapy for clinical depression before, after blaming myself for my mother's death. I let it take me again. And so, I closed myself off from EVERYONE. I AM NOT PROUD of the way I've acted. Believe me, I treated my RL family and friends worse. At the moment, my father and brother do not know when I am, nor do they have any way to contact me. I decided to remove the options of trying to "help" me with my health, so I have turned our communication "one way", I'm writing them via e- and snail- mail.

I have touched on my physical condition as a child before. Long-story-short; I was paralyzed for 2 years from my chest down, due to a genetic condition. Years of therapy later, I was able to become a competitive swimmer. But, I always knew I still had this physical condition.

In the last few years, it's been coming back. (yes, this knowlege also pushed me into the depression.) I'm prepared for it, but it still scares me.

Several weeks ago, while taking a pre-employment physical, I was sent to the emergency room, and placed on an IV overnight. The next morning, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. For most folks, it IS contollable. With my other circumstances, the complications for BOTH situations are multiplied.

It was childish of me to cut out friends. I'm sorry. AND, I hope y'all don't think I've re-established contact for sympathy. I just NEEDED to explain.

Thanks for reading, and I hove y'all let me ease back in with you.

The Rudest one of All....

PS.... Where'd my .sig image go? I changed the addy according to the instructions on the front page... Anyone interested in hosting a scarred, marred, and charred Wild-Elf Ranger?

Dear RudeDawg,

I'm so sorry to hear about what you've been through: http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif I do empathize with you, especially the bit about the health problems, having been so near the brink of death myself last year.

I know it may not always seem this way, but it is best to keep connected with other people...it really does help. Jo (Charean) had let me know in private e-mail how you were doing, and I communicated back with her on this. I don't know she ever relayed the message to you, but my e-mail is still sazerac1963@yahoo.com if you wish to converse.

Take care of yourself, guy! Remember, YOU'RE the one who's the most important in your situation...you come first. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Cheers,

Thank you everyone, once again.

I was afraid I would not be welcome back. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

Now, for some overdue, very specific and public apologies.

To Cloudy and Sazerac: I'm sorry for abadoning you in the middle of the multi. I'm sorry for not warning you and not communicating. I'm sorry for worrying you. You have been nothing BUT good friends to me, and you deserved better. (heavy sigh)

To kiwidoc: I'm sorry for abandoning your online roleplay game. As you said, it was RUDE... You also deserved better.

BTW, kiwi... My MD has told me I can't take anything for my Cluster Headaches or my depression while I'm on glucophage.... any suggestions?

Cloudy, thanks for finding Perin. I missed his ugly face. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Rudy,

I hope you can be in touch, we do have lots to go over, don't we?! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I'll keep looking for your wolf, hon, but I can't remember when we last saw him. He was a later addition after your girls got removed, right?

As for the game, well it was never the issue and you know that. Friendship was. Saz and I were more concerned about you and our contact. Always was that way, my friend, in fact, the game is erased, I had to reset my hd not long ago.

No worries, you warned me long ago what might happen, I just didn't quite expect it when it came.http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif But you are back and I'm here, and we can start anew. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif Friends are a valuable commodity dear Rudy, I treasure what I have. So should you and remember to nurture friendship as often as you can, it will be there for you, a support in your dark times and a joyful bounty in the light ones.

Cloudy, feeling a bit nostalgic
