Do what you gotta do Matt. Spend time with your new bride and little girl. We will see you back again when you are ready.

sorry to hear you are feeling down Matt. We have all felt slighted at one time or another one here. If you change your mind you know where we are. Take Care.

I am sorry to hear about the miscommunications, Matt. Please do take care of yourself. A well-timed break is always good judgement. I support you!

Good luck. When you get back start fresh. Get rid of whoever is being nasty to you.

Sorry to see you go but sometimes one does need a break. We will be here when you return!

Well, hopefully you'll realize during that time that this is only the internet and that it isn't worth any lasting stress or anything like that.

Just deal with the ones that deal nicely with you. Eventually the cream float to the top. Don't let them get you down. Just like in your physical neighborhood, there are all kinds of people on the web. Nice people, phony people, bullies, etc. But, if you just hang in there and continue to filter out the ones that aren't nice, eventually you get a nice circle of friends.

This stresses you out? Holy shit, what do you do for a living?

Find peace. Enjoy it. Come back when you feel like it.

We fully understand Matt. Your friends aren't turning against you, someone has just been stirring the pot. It will be okay.

Woe is you!

I think most of your drama is self-induced, and I speak from experience. Been there, done that. My advice would be to take the time away you need and use some of it for a bit of introspection. Good luck to you.

Sad to see you go, but glad we'll see you soon ... Take care Matt

There are e-mails on here?

aww... but , but I like you :/

Matt, you know I understand what you are going through. I've been going through a lot myself. Feel free to email/message me anytime.

Since you continue to level public accusations against me with no signs of abating I am going to speak and show my side. Here is the sequence of events in which you level multiple accusations against me and which I either ignored or unsubscribed from in an effort to avoid a fight. My attempt to ignore and unsubscribe is readily evident in these threads and questions. Note that the time of my entry into this question is significantly later than the posting of the question. I did not enter into the question until #4 of the list below: 1) http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5578123 (the comment thread) 2) http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5647772 (the comment thread) 3) http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1296533 (the posting of this question) 4) http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5655649 (the comment thread) Your main accusation of me and the cause of both this question and a comment in it is that I was impatient with you and that you did not see the mail. Please review #1 of that list above. This clearly shows by time and date stamp that TWO DAYS passed rather than the few minutes between my request for you to view an email. Furthermore it shows that you knew fully well of said email because your attention was drawn to it repeatedly and you acknowledged it IN the comment thread. In order to protect myself from any future accusations of wrongdoing from yourself everything on all of those links is screenshotted as is the ruckus in this comment thread and this answer shall be shortly screenshotted. Now. Does that suffice? Can we drop it now?

Matt,don't let the little things(some AB'ers ) bother you. If you concentrate on the big things in life the little ones ALWAYS work out.I speak from experience,I stayed so stressed out over minor things until one day i said "f34k it".I concentrate on the most important things in life.I know that it is difficult but put your family first.After a hard run(2 weeks out.in the truck) I'd come home tired,burnt out, completely drained...Everything changed the instant I heard a little voice (at the top of her lungs) DADDY!!!!!

Guy? You've got a kid. Log on with a question then move on. Christ, cowboy the fuck up.

&gt;YAWN< ....What?

Matt I always liked your answers.But at least send us money if you find work! We are hungry in AB land! Just joking......come Summer I will be a busy boy and not on AB as much.....Take care and at least check in and see how Ma and Pa are doing........Ripple

Answerbag, is a website. a friends list, is not a party full of people you love, it's a list of usernames and little tiny pictures. Keep it in perspective. your 'outside' life always should be much more important. A break will hopefully help you to do that.

If the stress on AB is the worst stress you have, then you are doing pretty good. Take a break for a couple days and come back. Who needs friends on AB anyway?

I'm just glad to read that you're not dead.

Stay on a while.....rethink your friends.....quality counts not quantity! Sift out the crap and you will find some jewels! Ripple for one!

That's really sad.
