**Inigo** : I missed the other threads until this morning (obviously I didn’t see the thread that started it all), and then I had to rush off to work. I don’t know what’s up, but I hope that you will get the better of it.

Best wishes,

You go, pal. Seriously, I hope that your life and that of your family soon appear to become more manageable than it all seemed last night.

Get your program together and I, for one, wish you and yours the best possible.

Inigo, you’ve been in my thoughts all day. I’m glad you’re still with us, and hope you come back to the Dope soon. 'Cause some of us here are more "Fezzik"s than "Dread Pirate"s, and we’re happier with a good friend like you around.

As the Dread Dark Lord, We extend Our best wishes to you and inform you of Our desires that issues that affect and distress you will be resolved.

While We also petition the Above for intervention in your case, we also open the Black Gates and unleash upon your problems hordes upon hordes of fell beasts of all kinds - orcs, Uruk, Uruk hai, trolls, and the indefeatable Balrogs. We direct them to descend upon your problems and hack them to oblivion. It is Our directive: “Let them be no more. Let no trace exist. May they be completely obliterated. May he be free and well and happy.”

[/Sauron]

Sorry for whatever you may be facing. Do come back and share your worries and frustrations with us - you’ll be surprised by the support and love you will receive, if the love and concern that already is being directed to you has not astonished you yet.

WRS - _El na, refa na!_

Oy, I went to bed early last night and missed the crisis but wanted to chime in that I, too, enjoy **Inigo Montoya’s** posts.

Wishing you well and hope to see you back very soon.

**Tuba** , thank you very much for letting us all know. I felt really helpless after reading that thread.

**Inigo** , I hope that things will improve for you and that you can join us again soon. I also hope that you don’t let embarrassment keep you away. Every one of us has had or will have overwhelming events in our lives that we can’t control. One of the best things about communities is that they contain people who understand that and who care about you.

I’ll be thinking of you, and I hope things go well for you.

Hey **Inigo** , sucks to be human. Been there, done that, came back. (IRL, not on a MB.) People do not forget, and do occasionally look at you funny, but with astonishing swiftness, they cease to care. (As in, the funny looks stop and all is well again.) Just so you know.

You obviously know the rest, or you wouldn’t have chosen the username. Good movie, but as far as I recall, Mandy Patinkin’s character (IMDB spelling) is still there at the end.

I think that the name implies strength and character, and frankly, your posts in the past reflect that.

One of the reasons I spend up to ten hours per night reading the board (although not logged in) at work is seeing what people I “know” post.

Looking forward to your return, **Inigo** , and as others have said (to paraphrase), been there, done that, we’re all human.

Wishing you well, and come on back.
