Skaldy! ! ! :sniff: Don’t leave us like that no more!
Welcome back Skald!
Welcome back, Skald. The board is a much less lively place when you’re not here. How’re the kids?

I don’t post any more, but pop by every few weeks when I have a few free minutes to check if anything is new. Very happy to see your name pop up.
Reminds me of a friend of mine who has MS. She’s slowly found herself confined to a motorized wheel chair for moving around, and has made similar comments about “help” from others. On the bright side, she’s still extremely active, and not only travels the world, but runs a blog and a travel agency specializing in travelling for people with disabilities. I started reading her blog out of curiosity, and found that so many of her points were helpful and accurate when I was stuck in a walking boot for three months.
Basically, some people suck. But some are awesome. And life is complicated.
ETA: What’s new? Well, I ran a half marathon last Sunday. Pro-tip: It’s probably easier if you train.
Welcome back, Skald
Legally blind?
You mean you are illegally seeing this?
Maybe we all sound smarter because a Stephen Hawking voice is reading our posts. Or, maybe a Stephen Hawking voice is now spooky.
Welcome back!
Back when you announced your impending retirement, I pitted your eyes, but I guess you didn’t see it. 
Skald, welcome back!
I know it’s too much to ask,*** BUT***, I’m going to do it anyway.
Is it possible to have one of your hypotheticals sometime?
I’ll send you cookies!
Welcome back Skald!
Skald!
Good to have you around, man.
One: So, uh, does he not understand that this is exactly what that stick is FOR?
Two: As I learned from the first season of Peggy Carter, a man who walks around with a cane is a man who ALWAYS has a weapon in his hand.
Welcome back, Skald. 
Welcome back Skald! Though you don’t know me well, as I mostly just lurk, I have missed your posts.
Welcome, Skald.
…er…back…
I was so disenchanted by your announcement that you were leaving that I decided to go to prison. I contemplated the hypothetical ramifications of escaping, but decided against it. However, now that your input can be gleaned from the Straight Dope again, I think it’s time to get out of here and encounter your thoughts on-line (you ARE going to continue participating, right? Please?]. The food is better on the outside – or at least has more variety than I can stomach from the canteen.
“See” you (or your posts) around!
–G!

You must be the Dark Side.
Welcome home, Skald. Your Doper family has missed you sorely. But you have returned and now the world can once again spin in greased grooves.
I have so much to tell you! Do you recall those wonderful Rottweilers that barked out radioactive bees that Rhymer Enterprises created for me? I’ve had great success breeding them and there is big ol’ pile o’money sitting in the bank with your name on it. I’d never forget my good friend Skald!
How are the lovely Mrs. Skald and the Skaldlings? Those kids must be getting big now.
It’s good to have you home. We have been lacking in both delicious recipes and mind-challenging hypotheticals. To give them their due, a few Dopers tried. But we all know, there is only one Skald the Rhymer. No one will ever be fooled by imitators.
Damn it’s good to see you! Put your feet up. Stay awhile, won’t you?
