Guys,
Hate to say this... I think I'm outgrowing the Corner.
I don't know exactly why it is... I used to want to jump into every conversation (wanted or not
), and I think I just felt more connected to you guys than I do now. I know it's not any specific people, as I've seen MANY interlopers come and go around here. I think it's just a general change in me.
Lately, whether it's because I spend more time in Vintage and have CO responsibilities there, or maybe just because I *am* more Vintage, I don't feel like much of a
anymore. The humor here seems more distant to me (not as funny), and maybe I've just outgrown the silliness. Perhaps it also has to do with the fact that James isn't around as much, and I've always felt a connection with him. I know that sounds contradictory, juxtaposing silliness with James. That sheep shagger. 
I'll also say that had a really rough work summer, and I really, really want to thank you guys for letting me rant and for just having some fun with me through a tough time. Lately, FYI, work is vastly improved as I head off into Linux-land to (finally) do some interesting work and actually earn my exorbitant salary.
I think we had some fun recently with the political debates, and I've enjoyed bantering with you guys about that. Beyond that I just want to wish Mikey well as he enters parenthood, and my best wishes to Brant as his dad recovers.
What do you think? Am I missing something? Does anyone feel the same way?

Chaz.... please dont go.... i remember when i first came in here and it was different and i enjoyed my chats and i can see how it's diferent. FWIW, i reckon the UK of topic's changing too, maybe it's a natural thing that's gonna happen.
Anyway, some people whore less and it's a shame when it's someone you get on well with but it will go back to normal, well, as 'normal' as it could be! And besides... soapy will do the US sometime... and i'm pretty sure you said i could stay...... er.... please.....

Chaz I do feel your pain.. playing double duty as and CO adds another task to the litany. Fortunately for me Del Val is pretty 
so responsibilities are not so daunting Family and work obviously have to come first ,but the camaraderie here I feel is really something special. I think I have met as many people from the corner than I have on Del Val meets 
and those peeps live 10 minutes from me 
So we are a little sophomoric in here (just a little) ...for me its an escape from the pressures that life deals us on a daily basis....I would think thats how many people stumbled on the corner..and ended up staying....but what does it mean when one of our own decides to leave 
Dont be a stranger
(strange YES!) , please keep coming by and annoying us And thanks for the well wishes.... knows we will need it

Soapy, Mikey, folks,
You guys are great. Again, it's not that I have issues with anyone here, it's just that I've been feeling more distant and I suppose less amused.
I totally agree, Mike, that the Corner is a great place to blow off some steam. I guess I just feel like I relate less and less (rather than more), and I'm not exactly sure why.
Anyway, I'm not going anywhere. I'm sure I'll be checking in from time to time.
Oh, Sophie, if you ever do come stateside, we definitely should hook up! PM me as your plans get solid. Mikey, sweetJ, jt, maybe Sophia and I are all east coasters, and we could set up a mini-meet at my house. Winter is not good in Massachusetts, but the other seasons are. Oh, also, we *ALWAYS* have supported our friends here in the Corner, and I don't see that ever stopping.
