First, my apologies to everyone for my unexplained and lengthy absence. I am so thankful to Steve all the other moderators and to everyone for keeping the Nest alive.

I was absent related to side effects to my bypass surgery and my inability to keep up with everything in my life. I have received (receiving) treatment for the issues and have spent the past few months concentrating on my job as a lot has changed with it and I just did not have the physical and mental stamina to deal with much more.

I hope now I can re devote some time each day in catching up around here and to assume some of my duties. As far as the store goes I know there are unfilled orders and I will make an attempt to take care of any outstanding obligations. As for reopening the store I am unsure about that. I will visit with Steve to see if we want to have someone else take that over or some other solution.

Good to hear you are alright. Hope you continue to fully recover.

Welcome back! We were all wondering..

Hi Doug, having you back is a Christmas present.

IowaEagle · « **Reply #5 on:** December 26, 2011, 06:10:38 PM »

Again, thank you. I may not be here as much as I was before but I will try very hard to be here a lot more than I was the past few months. I have so many commitments to the great folks here that it will take a while to make them all right again, if that is possible.

Hi I.E.
Glad to see you back. Don't push yourself too hard. It will be good to have your input on Eagles even if it is not as often as it was before. Your health should come 1st and time with your family and job.
Best Wishes for a great New Year.

Welcome back Doug. Been wondering about you. Thought more than once about making a day trip and knocking on the front door or sending up a smoke signal or airplane banner or something. Glad to hear you will be bck some. Steve and the other moderators did a great job holding down the fort while you were gone.

Hope you continue to do well. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.

IowaEagle · « **Reply #14 on:** December 27, 2011, 06:16:17 AM »

Thanks again everyone. Some of my Eagle lore has slipped away, I need to start reading again.

Great to have you back Doug, hope your health continues to improve.

Good to see you are getting better. We were worried about you.

JSK · « **Reply #20 on:** December 27, 2011, 10:03:45 PM »

I suspect that I speak for everyone when I say that it seems like the Nest feels much better with our Papa Eagle back watching over us! God bless you, Doug and WELCOME BACK!!!

Whuntmore · « **Reply #21 on:** December 28, 2011, 12:03:32 AM »

Welcome back, Doug!

x2 to what Steve F said.

It's wonderful having you back, but take your time. your health is important and don't rush the recovery.

eaglebeek · « **Reply #22 on:** December 28, 2011, 12:40:24 AM »

Welcome back to this unique online community that you created. Best wishes to you for your continued recovery

IowaEagle · « **Reply #23 on:** December 28, 2011, 06:15:06 AM »

Again, thank you all.

milliard431 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 28, 2011, 08:41:10 AM »

I knew it had to be something serious to keep you away. Just last night I was going to ask if any one knew your home town and maybe put out a missing persons on you. While I assumed you were ill you just never know these days. Another hats off to those who have filled in the gaps.

Eagleearl · « **Reply #25 on:** December 28, 2011, 08:54:07 AM »

Glad to see that you are feeling good enough to help out here. We all missed you. Hope you can enjoy your time here on the nest. And thanks to all who have helped out in your absence.

way2phastphil · « **Reply #26 on:** December 31, 2011, 09:55:21 PM »

Good to see you again.

I know all about that "healing" thing. Do what you have to do, to get / stay healthy.

IowaEagle · « **Reply #27 on:** December 31, 2011, 09:57:12 PM »

More thank you's. Yup, like medicine, open heart surgery has it's side affects too. Better than the alternative though.

Alcology · « **Reply #28 on:** January 20, 2012, 07:44:06 PM »

Glad to see you back! Open heart is some serious stuff, it's good to know you are functional with your life!

IowaEagle · « **Reply #29 on:** January 21, 2012, 09:15:10 AM »

Thank you. A lot of side effects they don't tell you about. But, the alternative is not a good one.

GreatcarSX4 · « **Reply #30 on:** February 05, 2012, 12:36:17 PM »

It's great to have you back. Take it easy. We want you around for quite some time.

captspillane · « **Reply #31 on:** February 11, 2012, 12:36:14 PM »

Has any one else noticed that you've posted on this site 30,945 times?! That is an astonishing number. Its an indication of the dramatic impact you've had here.

Baskinator · « **Reply #32 on:** February 24, 2012, 02:00:59 AM »

More good eggs than I currently have posts, and you clearly deserve every one of them I.E.! Right there at that big V8 number. Hope you're still doing ok, take your time with the store stuff.

IowaEagle · « **Reply #33 on:** February 24, 2012, 06:13:14 AM »

Thank you.

This is a good thread to announce your return, Doug, once it is straightened out here on the Den. I'm curious if you'll keep the old name or start a new one.

Kart Mann · « **Reply #35 on:** July 23, 2013, 03:55:06 PM »

Trying to keep the name. But, other issues may prevent that. We will see.

Prafeston · « **Reply #36 on:** July 23, 2013, 04:46:39 PM »

I'm sure Doug would like to maintain his 30k post count!!!!! That's insane!

IowaEagle · « **Reply #37 on:** July 23, 2013, 06:13:00 PM »

OK folks I am back as IE.

Hi Doug!
My account/passwords seem to survive all changes, I think I'm on all three forums (fora?) now....
