Well, my dear, I’m _hardly_ a ‘guy’, but I sure missed you too. ::runs in and grabs you close, then plants a long, sweet kiss on your lips and runs out giggling:: ---

Hee… I’ve had the extra **r** for a while now, dear. Shows how much attention _you_’ve been paying to me. 😉 And I hate to tell you, but I’ve lived in Texas this time since 1997. In fact, from '73-'81, '85-'95, and from '97 till now. [sub]_noticing that he apparently didn’t even feel or notice that kiss you gave him…_[/sub] ---

It’s not evident in his posts, but I know for a fact that Chiefscott struggles, daily, with his Smiley addiction. I’ve seen his room (don’t ask me how). The walls are covered in Smileys. The furniture, the sheets, the rubber underwear… smileys, everywhere! (Just trying to get to the top of the ol’ Shitlist…) ---

Well, guys, I’ve been quite busy. Much has happened. Among the most important developments… 1. I re-married the ex-wife. Though I’m still in the Navy stationed in Virginia, my wife and son (Skirmie, for those of you who’ve forgotten) reside up in New Jersey. 2. I’ve put in my retirement papers and will be departing the Navy in February after 20+ years. 3. I’ve been seeking a “retirement villa” in an adequate school district in Jersey so my son won’t be saddled with an inept education. 4. The mighty IKE is well into her refueling and complex overhaul… this occupies most of my time. 5. And finally, I’m actively seeking employment in the Monmouth/Ocean County-region of Jersey. All this, combined with the 7 hour trips to and from my family have severely limited my “on line” time. That’s about it **FCM**. Hey, **Zette** and **Arden**! There’s nothing better’n sweet stuff squared! 'Grats **SPOOFE** you’ve achieved your goals… the F/A-18s have been vectored to your proximity. And **PB** , of courrse I felt your kiss. But if I’d mentioned that fact, I would have had to inforrm everyone _wherre_ I felt yourr kiss. (Extra “r’s” added in deference to **PB** ’s username.) ---

Wow! Grats on the re-marriage, an on the impening retirement! Must feel good! (desperately fighting urge to insert a smilie or three…) Welcome back, man! ---

And **BZ** On a successful career, too! So, is this a hit-n-run, or has the overhaul actually turned you loose for a bit…? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/god-ive-missed-you-guys/114155.md?page=2)
