I did notice that you seemed rather short and irritable lately but it's totally understandable. I don't think you should go away just because of that, people understand. Anyway, if any of my replies added to your frustration I'm sorry for that. Hope you stick around!

Originally Posted By smedley I hope he doesn't leave, I tell ya World Events is not the place to be if you're having a bad day... Dave step away from World Events, stay with us sane people in the rest of the sections ;D

Originally Posted By friendofdd DWB, it is my hope that you will not leave us, however that is not particularly important in light of the personal difficulties you seem to be up against at the moment. I am praying that you will be able to achieve some balance in your life. Your work is important. Your family is important. Your social network is important as well. It is not my intent to interfere in your life, but I cannot help but feel you have a need for someone with whom you can share your particular needs. Someone who can stand back enough to get a good view of what seems to be happening. Perhaps your employer has a plan to provide such a person, or you may have a long time trusted confidant. If such a one is available, let me encourage you to not carry your burden alone. Help is available. Be assured of my continuing prayes for you, friend.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I missed DWB's post too because I don't venture into WE very much, but I hope you don't go Dave! We'll miss you too much. I agree with fodd though (as usual!), your "real" life is more important so if you do decide to take a break for a while, we'll miss you horribly but be here waiting when you get back.
Originally Posted By Tiggirl Dave, LP would not be the same place without you. I too missed whatever post this is refering to but hopefully with a short break from LP and getting whatever needs to be ironed out in the real world gets taken care of you'll be able to come back to LP and enjoy yourself. ) ~Beth

Originally Posted By X-san If the boards is what is bugging him, then I agree 100%. On the other hand, if it is what's going on in his life that is the big issue I hope he won't turn away from a possible source of support just because he feels he must (that's the impression I got, I could be wrong). Either way, I hope he's okay. Hopefully he'll chime in here at least, but if not at least I hope he knows there are people around who are concerned... Good comments all, by the way.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I have no idea what Dave posted or whats goin on, but I do hope that Dave does NOT leave us. You are much loved and you are a wonderful friend. Life is so trying at times and it easy for us humans to feel like we are in a blender,not knowing wich way is up sometimes. I hope that whatever is going on in your life right now will soon pass for you and things will be right again soon for you. All the best Dave to you and Sarah and the kids.{{{ DAVE}}}
Originally Posted By JazzCat Dave, I understand that your job is very stressful and that you need an outlet AND a support system. Please don't take offense; I'm just offering my understanding and empathy (and yes, my unsolicited advise I know), but perhaps you should separate the two rather than use LP for both. I luv ya lots, bro!
Originally Posted By lesmisfan ah, dont leave davewasbaloo! its always a pleasure chatting with you on LP and was an even greater pleasure getting to meet you when you came down to disneyland not to long ago. I hope all goes well.
Originally Posted By X-san Since we haven't heard anything here or elsewhere, I get the feeling that he's already gone.
Originally Posted By friendofdd Mr X, perhaps you could consider communicating with another of the Brits and ask them to let him know of this topic.
