Bye. And thanks.

We’ll be here waiting for you.
In a good way, not a creepy, sinister, stalker-esque kind of way.

Best of luck with the twins. I guess you have an inkling of what that is going to entail…

Come back later and tell us how you did it. “Straight Dope, I wish I knew how to quit you…”

Bye.

Good luck. It sounds like a good leaving, not a bad one.

If you feel like coming back someday, you may feel somewhat embarrassed to do so, after having started a “goodbye thread.” Don’t worry about it; I started a “goodbye thread” in 2004, was gone for six months, then came back when life had calmed down a bit. I was worried that there would be snarky I-thought-you-left comments, but only one person even seemed to have noticed I’d been gone, and that person gave me a big “welcome back” post.

Good crowd around here.
