Why is BYOAC on autopilot?
« on: April 22, 2014, 04:24:45 pm »
I am a fairly private person and I prefer not to share my personal life on the forum here. However, over the last many months I've been less active here than usual. Without going into details, I've had several real-life things taking most of my time and attention.

Last Thursday, my father passed away after a few years of declining health. I am flying him home to bury him next to my mother this week. BYOAC will need to remain on semi-autopilot for a little while longer. My thanks to the moderators who are shouldering my duties here. Please bear with me.

always here for you if you need anything.   Ive been on my very best behavior ever just for you and him :)
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

So sorry for your loss...  I know it's been hard for you the last few months dealing with his sickness.  We'll do our best to keep everything running smoothly without having to bother you.

Send my sympathy to your family as well.

Thank you for the well wishes everyone. Losing my father has been really hard for me and my family. I've just gotten back into town from the funeral. Going to take tomorrow off and then will take a good look around next week.
