Yup. I'm not Amish, but there is a large Amish community in northwestern Ohio where I grew up. Horse & buggy, black & white clothing, barn raisings. Like the Harrison Ford movie, "Witness". My brother is single and lives in the same house we brothers and sister grew up in.

Until a few years ago, our community still used "party lines" for the telephone service. Several people shared the same phone line, and if someone was already on the line, you had to wait until their conversation was over to use the phone. I can remember my mom picking up the phone...listen...and hang up, and say, "That Sarah Clark is STILL on the line!!"

My brother did get satelite TV service a few years ago. I may be able to talk him into allowing me to get satelite internet if I earn my keep. I plan to be a "house husband", at least initially. Cook, clean, laundry, lawn & leaf care, snow removal. Even windows.

I read your original post with sadness. This may be an opportunity for you to regroup and really decide what you want to do with your life. You may be surprised at the ideas you come up with a few weeks down the road. You will be back and I truly believe you will find something that will fill your heart and soul.

I remember you being one of the first people to assist me when I was new to ECF and looking for my first starter setup back in June of 2013. I have relied on your wisdom many times and have linked many to your blogs.

I will miss you here. But I also know that when one door closes, another opens. You will find your way. And thank you.

I hated reading that, although you said it well as usual. I can't count how many times and ways you've helped me. There will be a void and it won't be easy to fill. Don't underestimate your talents. It's distressing to hear so many others have faced similar fates as well. It's another piece of wisdom you've shared. It's so easy to get caught up into shiney new toys and forget what really matters. I have no idea what else to say other than it's very hard to believe you won't be here to field my next battery question.

Reflect, heal, get your life back.

I'll be the dissenting voice here. Bad has helped so many people, but at what expense? One doesn't rack up a ridiculously high post count without spending a lot of time posting. Trust me. It's none of my business, but I would like to see Bad channel the energy he's been giving to us, into himself. Maybe a break from the internet wouldn't be a terrible idea.

Take heed, L. The Ocelot speaks wisdom beyond her years.

I too hope to see you back here someday. Renewed, re-energized, and re-strengthened in every way.

Nicely stated, TO. And well intentioned without any doubt.

Ive just read 18 pages of posts stating how many lives this man has helped save. Ive only been here a short time, but I too have benefited greatly from bad's posts and blogs.I dont know much about computers, so I can't do what needs to be done but someone who knows about that kind of thing REALLY needs to post a link to somewhere that some of us can communicate with each other without violating any rules. I dont know all the rules here so I'm trying to be careful in what I post as I dont want this thread to be closed, but please someone make this happen. LINK?
