That last 1.5 years

[Mako-]

Keep powering through Dale. I totally understand the alienation and bad mouthing of divorce. Great to hear they are coming around though, my experience was the opposite.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother.

Best wishes on your surgery. You owe us nothing in an explanation, so much fun for so long for all of us, if I may speak for the members here, all thanks to you.

So sorry to hear of your troubles over the last couple of years. Hope your surgery goes well and that you have a speedy recovery. Glad you have your kids now who can support you through everything. Take care, Dale.

  you built something special Dale which continues to stand strong, in my opinion.  Hope all goes will with your procedures and you can return to feeling strong.

If you don't believe anything else believe this.

You may not believe in God, but HE believes in you. So HE will help you. HE will be there for you, and HE will recover you. HE only requires your faith and trust, that's it.

The reason why you wrote this is that you're feeling hurt, feeling knocked down, and feeling that pain called life, a lot of us have been there. But you're not dead, not out, and feeling like making a comeback.

If you need a different focus point to keep your mind off of things, we have 1 billion requests standing by for you. 

Know that we haven't given up on you and you are not alone. So get up!

What do you need? We are here to help.

You're reaching out so we are reaching back.

Good to hear from you.

My father had an aortic aneurysm that was discovered with routine screening.  They watched it for several years before he opted for surgery.  April 1 marked 9 years since his surgery and he is thriving (at 81 years old!)

 I won't sugar coat it.  Recovery is a b*tch but you take it one day at a time.  I wish you the best.  I haven't played in many years but I still lurk in the forums and remember the great times and friends I made during my time in the skies.

My kids didn't believe she was cheating until they heard some of the recordings I'd made. Her brother and mother don't believe me and refuse to look at any of the evidence I gathered (almost 75 gigs worth). Only they can fix their level of stupidity and willing blindness.

I've watched hundreds of hours of videos on YouTube by prominent psychologists like Dr Les Carter, Dr Todd Grande, Dr Ross Rosenberg and Dr Ramani Durvahsula. They might as well have a picture of my wife next to them as they talk about narcissism because it all fits.

You aren't wrong about once you see it, you can never unsee it and it does change how you view people and their words/actions.

Good list Elfie. 

Once you see it, you'll recognize it in all walks of life.  Power of discernment.  Gas stations, car dealerships, churches, police, any big name corporation, etc.  Always remember the choice is yours to determine who you are.

Wish you the best Hitech, and for a speedy recovery.

Dale, my condolences for the loss of your Mom. Best wishes for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. You built a damned fine game here. No worries about slow development - anything you do now is polishing a diamond.

Dale,

          I am so sorry to hear about the personal difficulties you have faced and your future medical challenges.  Your personal family life and health should be the first order of business.  Our squad chatted about your post on our long flight home during FSO last night and we all agreed that you need to take care of yourself and your family first and foremost.   We thank you for continuing this game that we all love to play and wish you luck with your procedure and a speedy recovery.

          Sincerely,

               John Jefferson, <AKSofty>  -  Arabian Knights.
