Hey, guys!!! Nope, I'm not a mystery, I'm not a phantom, I certainly don't need the "recognition" of being a regular member in this forum, and I'm not anyone but who I have always been ... Sheila, a licensed psychologist, and unfortunately, as sane as anyone else, particularly around here! I'm back online now, and very glad to be here.
For those of you who still have a sense of humor, be on the lookout for a new site that will be up in the next week ... AmericatIdol.com. If you don't like Tucker and don't like cats, you should probably stay away, but for those of you who DO like these wonderful critters, please join in the FUN, 'cause we're going to have a lot of fun. With a little bit of luck, we may just be able to make a little money (actually, we may be able to make quite a BIT of money!!), as well, so if any of you are interested in working on this site with me, just let me know. I am a firm believer in sharing the wealth, should it materialize.
I'll be happy to tell ANY of my friends why I've been offline for so long, but I won't bore the rest of you with the story. Trust me, it has NOT been any fun at all. Just to give you a "sense" of what it's been like, my husband was in an accident in which he was hit from behind by an 18-wheeler going 50 miles per hour after his car died on the way to a murder trial in which he was the defense attorney. Lest some of you believe that this is some sort of hallucination, feel free to check the Greeley (Colorado) Tribune's front page for the first week in December, 2003.
Fortunately, Bill is fine ... as fine as anyone could be, given the circumstances. He spent about a week in intensive care in a hospital in Weld County, and I couldn't even get there to see him. The car he was driving didn't have much structural integrity, but my Lexmark color laser printer was lodged in the back seat, because we had just moved into a bigger apartment than the one we were in previously. The printer was located behind the driver's seat, and I'm sure that the printer's strength is what saved him. I was scheduled to go to the trial with Bill that day to assist in the presentation of evidence to the jury, but fortunately, I was unable to go. Had I been in the car, I would not have been able to be writing to you now, at least I don't believe that I would have been. I don't know if there are computers in Heaven, but I doubt that if they are there they have ANY connection with the domain name business.
Thanks to those of you who were worried about me and who had the sense and the dignity to think kindly of me. I have never knowingly said or done anything to intentionally hurt ANYONE here or anywhere else. To those of you who thought otherwise, I'm sorry to have to burst your bubble. I really AM who I say I am and always will be. And I hate to tell you that I'm also not a multiple personality-ridden person, although I have successfully treated some who had as many as 24 different personalities. Just imagine what it's like when you are conducting couples' therapy with TWO individuals who have that diagnosis ... it's like conducting group therapy, and believe me, the therapist has to be totally sane and in touch with reality to be able to help people in that that state.
Love to you all, (Especially dat Web Cat!!)
Sheila
