I have so missed this place. My life has been crazy.
Torn Miniscus
Waiting on surgery
same company, different job
sold our house
moving into a condo
Finally after all the crap in the last 2 years it finally feels like our lives are moving forward even with the little knee problem.
I have been doing very little online but the time to come back has arrived.
I have been preparing to come back and focus. Have gotten rid of almost all apps on Facebook. Unsubscribed from many lists.
I have shut down some blogs because I was tired of trying to make money with niches I had no interest in.
I love affiliate marketing, I absolutely love fishing, I love safety and the oil patch. Because I love these, this is where my focus will be.
We will be moving this week. By the end of next week my new home office will be set up and once again I will be online.
I have missed Hubpages and being online so much that the last couple weeks of getting ready to come back have been uber exciting.
So for now I may be looking around the forums and maybe even throwing in a comment here and there but look out in December because I will be back with a vengeance.
Im looking forward to getting back with old friends and meeting new ones.

Say a silent prayer for the good in your life, Dale. Peace.
Wow, sounds like your life has been pretty hectic! Good to see you!
So nice to see you as well Habee. Cant wait to get back here in a more regular manor.
Life has been hectic but finally myself and my wife are having fun again.
Also forgot to mention I will be doing a lot about quitting smoking. Would also love to be a support system for Hubbers looking to quit.
The best decision I ever made in life was just over six months ago when I decided to quit smoking.
Dale
I cant wait to write my come back Hub so I can share the events of my life from the last few months.
Dale
I can identify with the knee problem, Dale! But today surgery isn't as bad as it was when I had mine done. Good luck and welcome back!
RD, I think you should write a hub about how you injured your knee. lol
Cause Google might frown on a hub about nude skydiving! LOL!
I think it would be okay as long as you don't include pics. If you did decide to add photos, be sure to use your wide-angle lens!
I thought I would borrow your original photos of the stunt! You do still have them?
I sold the originals to Playgirl, but I think I have some copies somewhere, Mr. October!
"Randy is a Virgo who loves the outdoors. He's smart, practical, and adventurous. Randy enjoys crackling fires, thunderstorms, walking on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick."
Don't be so hard on yourself, you did move a little bit!
I was trying to fulfill your fantasies of necrophilia!
Many women have already done so! But thanks for the effort!
....that made me laugh....the part about 'pokin' dead things with a stick'...
I know one goal I have forsure is to have the 100 number beside my name. Hopefully I can do well enough to achieve that like so many great writers here.
Dale
It's easy, Dale - just bribe the HP staff like Randy and I do! lol
Ah frig why didnt I think of that sooner.
Cause you're not from Georgia like Holle and I! LOL! It's the American way!
Good to see you Dale! One of my staff's husband just had the torn miniscus surgery a couple of weeks ago. He had it on a Thursday morning and was back to work on the following Tuesday. She said he only really had to double up on the pain meds that first 36 hours. After that it was pretty smooth.
Good to see you back Dale. I'm sure you will pick up right where you left off. Good luck bud.
Thanks Richard, I actually plan to be more aggressive with my Hub writing in the future.
Dale
Dale, you truly made my day! So glad your well, and hubbing again, maybe I shall too as well! Hopping on the other knee *wink*
xo
So nice to hear from you my Kimberly.
I missed a lot of people when I was gone and you were one of them.
I look forward to the heedless flirting that goes on.
Sorry that you are still my number 2 behind my wife but it really isnt a bad place to be in.
Dale
Welcome back Dale! Hope the move goes smoothly and the knee surgery, too. I look forward to your come-back hubs!

As you can see in the picture above, I tend to get pretty excited about everything that goes on around the holidays. The sweatshirt that I'm wearing in that picture is considered an 'Ugly Christmas Sweater' and this is officially my second year to wear it. Just like my puffy-paint-covered...

All three carry a huge selection of products and all have a certain marketing genius. The trick is not to spend...

The new HP ad program may reduce Google and Amazon income more than new money gained. My CTR at Google has been terrible since I implemented the program. Traffic is increasing after the Google BS dance, but CTR remained low... very low. eCPM also was lower than normal on the clicks received. I...
