First, let me thank those of you within this forum who were concerned for my wellbeing. Also, thank you Rande ( Brewdude ) for the letter I received in the mail, and my promise to you is still in tact. Let me start by saying it's been a tough two months for me, personally dealing with a health issue. I'm a private person and don't believe in social media. This forum is my only type of social media I'm involved with, basically because of the type of work I did prior to me becoming retired/disabled. As a member of this forum stated, I was also a member of another pipe forum until I kept receiving PM's with nasty comments that " your trying to pad your post count " and also " responding to old threads is ridiculous "! First of all I could care less about post count and the old threads I responded to I had questions about making a reverse Calabash pipe and a few others pertaining to pipe making. I had no idea I would stir up so much trouble and get some of those members panties in a knot. All of my questions were legitimate and I meant no harm. Nonetheless I still received a number of nasty PM's. I sent a PM to the Admin of that particular pipe forum and asked for my membership to be closed. So, not only was my membership closed but I was permanently blocked from the website.
Now, let me thank those members within this forum who sent me PM's asking... " where have you been, how are you doing, are you okay "? Your caring meant allot to me and tomorrow I will read and respond to ALL.
It's been a couple of months since I've been able to enjoy a pipe and after 49 years boy do I miss it!!!
Well, I'm back and stable enough to again participate in this forum and I really enjoyed the time I spent posting here and meeting a GREAT BUNCH OF PIPE SMOKERS. THIS MAY NOT BE THE SO CALLED NUMBER ONE PIPE FORUM, BUT I WILL TELL YOU WITHOUT A DOUBT... it stands out amongst all the others because of members like you. It's truly my pleasure to be a member of this forum, Brothers of Briar. I'm here to stay God willing.
Now I'm going to relax outside and enjoy a pipe full.
God Bless you all and be well,
Ted ( SBTZ )
