As to the health part, not a bad idea to get away if youthink this computer age is the cause. However, as you'll notice the entire world is going computer. Everywhere you go most things are controled by computers. Most crocery stores, gas stations, merchandising stores all shut down if the computers stop. True, playing with one in what free time you have seams a waste, but that is the future. Hope you will be back here soon. Try the Zoo, Museum, etc.

I know you probably can't tell by all the yaking I do on here now, but I was a commercial artist for awhile and I couldn't stand sitting at the computer for days trying to geta line here or there right that sometimes would take hours and hours of work to only have the customer to say they didn't like it and the whole project have to start from scratch again and I couldn't have even though I would ever have one of these slave boxes at my house. Then I was working a side job so I could pay my house and all my other bills off before I was 31 and well I worked that other job a couple of years at a trucking company and fell and hurt my back, then I was left with nothing (but atleast I did get everything paid off by the time I was 30) so I decided I would go back to the one thing I knew working with computers to do freelance commercial art. Well soon I realized after 4 surgeries I couldnt sit at the computer 12 hours at a time working on projects like I once did and what would take a week otherwise took months to finish and customers just didn't want to wait that long so I had this box sitting here with high speed internet doing nothing, so I decided to start surfing the web and now I spend alot of my free time on here (especially since I can do little else) and it shows with all my posts. Anyway what I was trying to say is I sure do understand how you feel wbout spending all day at work behind a computer and dont want to spend all your free time behind one also, but I sure hope you decide to revisit us in the future and always remember you will always have a home here with us and will be missed until that time comes. I wish you the best in what ever way life takes you and hope you are safe

Irishraider,

find your balance and hurry back, can't be without an "irishraider" on forum, good luck and do take care of your family first, they deserve first consideration.

IR, as the song goes, "Johnny, we hardly knew ye.". Please take your time and come back to us when you feel comfortable once again. I've been there, done it, have had to severely restrict my own online time and, even so, still spend too much time online but now have a much different schedule from four years ago. We will miss you!

We will all miss you Irish (woad) Raider . I totally respect your opinion

All the best to you and yours Irish.

Hope your health improves and we see you back soon.

The important thing is for you to look after yourself.

Think of us here every now and then.
