I have some sad news.   :(

I'm not really sure how to start this, so I'll get right to it.  Mrs. Midas & I are getting separated.  We've been going through some difficult times for a while now, and I'm not afraid to admit that a lot of it has to do with me.  It just finally came to a head this morning and we are at the point where we could no longer work it out.  I'm moving out this weekend.  I can't think a whole lot to say about it right now as there are a bunch of thoughts racing through my mind and I have to go back there to move my things out (I'm at work right now).  I'm going to be dealing with a lot for a while, but I wanted to let you all know that I appreciate everyone here.  This is a such a wonderful community to be a part of and I feel very close to quite a few of you.  I'll be back here Monday to hang out as much as I can (work permitting).  Please enjoy the rest of your weekend and don't worry about me, I think I'm going to be alright.  :)

Midas

:( i'm really sorry.  i don't really know what to say, but i hope everything turns out okay... :-/

I'm sorry, Midas, I can't say I know how you feel but I'm sure as hell that you'll get through it. Keep smilin'.  :)

That SUCKS!  :(  

Don't worry man.  We'll go drinkin' ;)

DJ, I know exactly what you are going through and I know that it's not easy. I'll keep you in my prayers and I hope that things work out like you want it to.

Hey DJ

I'm sorry to hear that man.  Take care of yourself and you know where we are okay ?

Midas, I am so sorry to hear that. :( Hang in there.

Sorry to hear the news :-/, keep your self strong and remeber you have friends. :)

Midas, I'm sorry to hear this bad news.  Take care man...

That does suck.  Maybe that's one of the many reasons I never got married…

Bummer.

I hope things will get better for both of you.

Sorry to hear that.  We're here if you need to talk. :-*

Thinking of you, guy. It will get better.

Time apart will give you the needed perspective to make further decisions. Think carefully and thoroughly. Don't forget to be true to yourself.

I wish you the best, ol' buddy.

I am really sorry that you are having to go through this.  Life can take some unexpected turns.  But hang in there, things will get only better.  If you need anything at all, an ear, a shoulder or some advice, let us know we will all be here for you.

In my thoughts,

princess

Been there, done that man!! It SUCKS major......I feel for ya and will keep good thoughts for you. Just don't jump to any rash decisions...take your time making plans and decisions because your head is foggy and you don't think clearly...TRUST ME on this one....

Best o' luck pal!

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts.  My head was a little scattered yesterday (naturally).  I didn't sleep well and I realize it's going to be tough for a while.  I am really fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful friends and family (you guys are my family too!) to help me get through this.

I'll be alright.  Keeping my head up.  And I'll be here when I can, because this is such a great place to "chill."  :) :D ;D

Keep on groovin',

DJM

Sweetie, I am so sorry...just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  Like Cheerleader said, if you ever need to talk we are here for you.

Sorry to hear about that DJMidas... hang in there.  

DJ, either way it goes....I wish you the best.  Big hugs to your hurting heart :-[

Wow, Midas, I'm sorry to hear that.  :( Breakups are always tough to get through, even when everyone is on good terms.

We're here to listen if you need to vent more, and if you want advice, we'll give it.

Hope things get better for you, whatever the final outcome is.

Sorry to hear about your problems, DJ. I hope everything works out to your satisfaction.

Thanks.  Things were a lot better yesterday.  Getting myself back in shape from moving my stuff out - have to get used to stairs again.  :)

This morning at work I've been having to deal with juggling new projects and letting people know what's going on with me.  It's all good and at the end of the day I just want to be able to say that I felt productive today.

Thank you all for comments.  I really appreciate them.

DJ

I'm sure what happens will be for the best, though it might not always seem that way.  I absolutely suck at offering words of comfort, so but I'll be hoping you don't get too down about it.
