Shepherd 2, also AKA as Shep+ is leaving.

[Shepherd 2]

JUBbers,

This is my personal posting of a thread to tell all of you that I am leaving JUB and why. Bur first let me say thanks to so many fine people I have met here and your many kindnesses to me. Thanks even to the few hardasses who took me to task, you have made me a better person.

I am a JUB addict. and it is important that I leave while I am able and willing on my own accord. Many of you will recognize the symptoms, too much time posting and on line. I must tend to the important things in my life, and they are:

(1) My life partner of 18 years and spend time with him and engaging in our love making and just being there for each other. My relationship which is so vital to me deserves my undivided attention. So I will take care of what is real for its greater value.

(2) My new employment will expect I keep my nose clean and not spend time on a the largest porn site available. I respect the people I will be working with and my peers. It is new and will demand a lot of my energy and time. So I must be rested and not sitting in a room somewhere posting another thousand posts.

Many of you have a special place in my heart. Some of you will get a PM from me, and any of you who see this thread or care to post here may or may not get a response. I am a bit of a basket case and emotionally rung out to do much PMing back. But if I am able I will. Then in about 72 hours I am leaving. I am doing this to have a healthy and clean closure. Many of you have touched my life and I am grateful. Thanks.

Shep+

I don't think we got along well, both being at near opposite sides of the belief system, but I've always found your comments insightful and full of experience.

Good luck in your endeavors and whatever life might bring you.

 

[gmoney]

Well, whatever your reasons are, I respect that. I hope you find everything in your real life that you seemed to gain from being a part of our community. I'll PM you with what else I have to say.

 

[hottie1982]

I didn't get to know you very well or
for very long. You certainly made me
feel welcome here! I'm certainly going
to miss you and I was actually hoping
to get to know you better, but life sometimes changes things. Please take
care and know I'll be thinking about you.

Shep -

I'm so sorry to see you go... I really enjoyed our PMs and found you to be a very caring soul. I wish you all the best in your job, and continued love and support for you and your other half.

We'll try and keep the lights on here at JUB and hope you can come back and visit us sometime.

Take good care and God Bless!

Well, shit, Shep!

You hadn't orta go and do that.

You truly are a colorful and vivid man,
who at every turn came forth with the unexpected and the significant.

I have enjoyed your participation in this website, and wish for you growing joy and fulfilment.

[ronboy]

Shep, my dear friend, you will be missed. I have valued your sage wisdom and appreciated the thoughts that you shared with me, as I have tried to be a fair and vigilent moderator in the R&S forum.

Your support of my efforts has always been unwavering, and that has been worth more to me than you could ever possibly imagine.

I want to wish you the very best as you continue on with your life and career. Eighteeen years is a wonderful accomplishment. May the two of you be together forever.

God bless you my friend and check in with us when you can.....

Ron

Thanks for letting us know, Shep. Best wishes and take care!

Thanks and I hope the comments continue for they are helping me to handle the great grief I am experiencing at this time, and I am amazed. It is a bit like being at your own funeral and hearing the eulogies. I was especially taken by the careful and thoughtful choices of words, I hope that what I really believe is true that you loved me for who I am, and that is deeply touching. I must have shown you more than I had thought.

Thanks for I take with me many memories. And to the Buffalo Bills and Sabres, gentlemen, I want a championship in my life time just like the Red Sox gave me.

Thanks friends.

Shep+

I don't know you that well shep, but I always enjoyed your posts on the forums.
You always seem to make comments that made the threads more interesting and sometimes very humerous. But you also gave a lot of great wise insight in your posts. Good luck in your future endevors.
