Hope he is OK !

I just remembered the best way to get him to come back:

The cloud is fantastic. The cloud is the greatest innovation of all time!

That should work. ;)

Van knows me VERY well for sure! :D Windows 8 is announced as a Cloud OS BTW. Should be interesting. Van take note!! :D

My absence was due to my good inner ear getting infected and acting like my damaged one that I have had Meniers disease in since my late teens. It went almost totally deaf. Am on a low sodium diet, water pills, trying to keep the hearing and from it getting as bad as the other ear. Also due to a VERY unhealthy and bad diet and due to the stress caused by many attacks of almost total deafness and vertigos, my Blood Pressure had gone well into the danger zone. Doctor working with me and it's come way down, as has my weight. Trying to keep active here on the forums as that also overall helps keep me positive and calm as does prayer which I have many people doing for me.

Anyway, felt maybe I should update everyone a bit. Sorry for my silence but was really going through a lot. Thanks for all the concern! Makes me glad I am here at Mac Forums.

Good luck in your recovery, good sir. In my on again off again relationship with this forum over the years, I've appreciated a few of the "impactful members" as I call them. You are one of them, and I wish you nothing but the best!

That's a lot to have to contend with Dennis. Just know that your presence here is appreciated, but you do what you have to do in order to maintain your health.. this place isn't going anywhere. Remember though, that try as you might... it's not always possible to control everything, so don't tax yourself with stress on top of it all.

I'm sure you can gather strength from friends and family when it's necessary, just don't forget that those people are there for you. Online friends, included. ;D

Glad to have you back, even if it's not super full time.

Doug
