I'm afraid I would do quite well, thank you very much. Without the hate and the bickering and inanities and attempts at humor. The year after I left answerbag and before I got on this site was a happy one for me. But it gives me something to do during down time here at work. While I practice Kegels. When no doubt I should be improving my mind.
It's likely that I'll be away for three or four months at a time.
So far, although several people have "friended" me, and I like very much what I see of each of them on this main board, it never seems to go below the surface. No real relationship has developed. Because of this, I suspect that no one would notice if I was absent for a while. Probably no one would remember me when I returned. If I left and returned under a different name, my guess is, no one would recognise my thoughts or writing. It all seems so transient. People come and go. No one seems to mind or care. A very few are steady regulars and stayers.
I don't really understand how it works, but it's nothing like the quality of the friendships in my daily life. The real relationships are infinitely richer and more satisfying.
