A lot of you may have noticed my decreased presence here at TV.com. While I'm not ready to give up my editorships, I have not been spending as much time here. 1) work's been crazy.
2)My health has been steadily decreasing, and frankly I don't have the energy to fight the system to submit certain things. I've been hospitalized 6 times since September, had 13 blood transfusions, and have undergone numerous tests. Sometimes I just want to watch TV, not analyze it.
3)A lot of the users that I enjoyed the most on this site have also decreased the amount of time here.
4)The Sports forum, where I spent a lot of my time, has been on lockdown lately. Our Yahoo fantasy league was shut down. What a dissappointment by TPTB. This was all inclusive and a lot of fun. Suddenly, we can't play anymore. *sigh*

I'm still checking my queue, but I've fallen behind on some of the regular information I used to submit. Hopefully, I'll get a second wind. Otherwise, I may retire. If retirment wasn't permanant, if I could take a medical break, I might consider it. But I have put a lot of hard work into all of my guides, and I'm not quite ready to let go yet. Still, I'm heading that way. My guess is that if I do retire, someone else will pick up my slack--that's the way of the world.

Hey brandi, I know exactly what you are thinking, I have been mulling over whether to retire from my guides and leave the site. As is, I can keep up but I've pretty much stopped all other site activity. It's too bad the site has no feature that allows for good editors to take longer breaks on guides that are in good shape. Hope you get some relief from your medical problems.

Hey Brandi: Allow me to add a "me too" to your thoughts today. I too, spend less time here and miss the more frequent contact with you and my other friends that the old, more user friendly, site used to offer. I am sorry to hear about your health problems and I hope you make it through all right. Take Care of yourself. I will be thinking of you.

PIKE

Amazingly writing the blog has helped revamp my spirits a little. I'm just way behind on subbing to my still airing guides, no one else wants too, so if I don't so it the info doesn't get added...

I hope you stay around and that your health improves. I know what you mean about the situation on the site though. It really is getting out of hand. It looks like I'm being shown the door too, so I don't really know how much longer I'll be around. I've always tried to do a good job on my guides and not take on more than I can handle. I thought we were supposed to focus on quality info and building a community, but I guess there are other "considerations".
