… how much I love you?
Probably not, since I am such an ass-hole, right?
But since I seem to be seeing the end of my days, I just wanted to let y’all know that when I go to sleep at night, I “cover up” with my SDMB friends, and I pull all the “warmth” up around my neck, and close my eyes and think about you.
Y’all are too numerous to mention, but I love you with all my heart.
You’re precious to me.
Bill
In case anyone was in any doubt, this is why the SD is so very important to many. What ever internal troubles may be occurring, the community is what really matters. It may mean different things to different people, but the Straight Dope’s got soul. And for the sake of people like Quasimodem, we mustn’t lose it.
Our thoughts are with you, Quasi. Keep on truckin’.
We know, Quasimodem- you’re very good about telling us and it’s much appreciated. Just drop it with the “I’m an asshole” stuff, okay? You’re not. Hope you’re well, and keep posting.
Quais’s an asshole now?
I thought I was an asshole. Still am as far as I know.
Losing your marbles isn’t the same as bing an asshole. I was alright, in fact, until I got my marbles back.
NOW I’m a REAL asshole. Quasi doesn’t even qualify. Sorry Bill, you’re just not mean spirited enough, that’s all.
I’ve been following along, Bill, and have yet to see assholish behavior. Hang in there.
Assholes, where would we be without them, huh. They have a shitty job, but somebody’s got to do it. 
I googled “asshole appreciation society” and I would post the results but. . . I’m not sure their safe for work.
Seriously, I have yet to see any assholish behavior either. Nice to have you around. And you too, Inigo. You guys keep things interesting.
Dude, don’t be stickin’ no cherries in there.
You may be many things, Quasi my friend, but asshole ain’t even in play here. Sleep well.
Quasi, what have I been telling you for YEARS about being down on yourself like this, hmmmm? Love you, too. Now quit being morbid and take care of yourself.
I’ve never seen you to be an asshole here, Quasi.
It’s a good joy to help you get through it all, day by day. Keep warm, friend.
There’s an old, really long joke about all the parts of the body debating about who was in charge and in the end, the asshole turns out to be the boss.
None of you guys qualify either as assholes, or the boss. I may not be all so comfortable with Quasi pulling us up around his neck and having sweet dreams and such, but I get the sentiment and back it completely.
Hey asshole - I sent you a PM the other day to ask where you’ve been since “the dust up” and you never responded. You started this assholish thread, instead!
Glad to see you’re still around and you still are feelin’ the love.
I like you too Quasi.
Be Well My friend. Sqoozles
I’m here to jump on the “I have known assholes, I’ve been friends with assholes, and, sir, you are no asshole” bandwagon. I’m just glad somebody’s benefiting from my warmth at night!
You are not an asshole. You are a big ol’ cuddly bear.
Yeah, we’re all still here, *not[/i thinking you’re an asshole. And we’re all still here, supporting you!
'Preciate it. Blanked out on the job a week ago. Can’t do that and work in the ER, and certainly not in a code and certainly not with something that I have done a thousand times before. Resigned. Not on the blog yet. Still writing it, but soon.
I always said that if this shit got to the point where I’d be a danger to a patient, I’d quit. So i did.
(((((Quasi)))))
I’m really sorry, Quasi. I know how difficult of a decision that must have been. May I say though that I find your resolve to adhere to your principles and be forward thinking quite admirable? My heart’s with you, friend.
Keep on keeping on as they say. And no one thinks your an asshole. In fact, your resignation to support the sanctity of a patient is a princely move.
