I guess I'm back (the long nightmare is over)

Welcome to the boomerang club. Good to have you back.

What was your long nightmare, if I may ask?

Feel free to say none-ya. I’m just being a trifle nosy.

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

But what is the long nightmare? Something really bad happen?

True. But it did look just like that, color wise.

I thought it was our long nightmare.

Exactly, it wasn’t the same without him, I just couldn’t put my finger on it.

Everything is right again.

Agreed. Our nightmare has ended as our prodigal son has now returned. Or so the OP humbly claims.

That’s a great moniker you’ve got; I hope it doesn’t signal a rabid devotion to Ayn Rand’s “thinking”. That stuff doesn’t play very well around here these days.

I don’t recall having interacted with you, but I do recall your former handle, as I had a relative who, as a child, related that he had once dreamed about a ‘cheese monster.’ Seriously!

(Insert “Wait you guys” image here)
Wait, you guys have hair?

Or worse, something to do with Rand Paul…

I thought the OPs name meant he was randy.

And kinda paranoid.

But don’t go by me.

Hey welcome back !!! I remember you, you were right there in with a lot of us- 99ers, 2kers.

And yeah, a thoughtful moment for

" Hi Opal ! "

The connections are real. Glad you’re back to connect again.

Welcome back! I remember your name, probably because I listen to Radiohead. I hope you resume posting.

No need to assume the worst. I’m guessing a much better origin.
