OK, so I'm re-engaging with SR
Hey Folks,
Been away for awhile because I was becoming toxic. Coming back because I think I can do so constructively, and also missed many of you (I'm pretty sure I'm down to one strike).
Very, very respectfully, and with sympathy, I'll avoid all posts and posters who are voluntarily in physically or mentally abusive situations because it's such a huge trigger for me, but will engage other places and try to be a positive part of SR.
I hope you are all well, and I'm very happy to be back.

Hey, welcome back. My tough-love knob needs to be adjusted frequently, too. 
I find my ignore list continues to grow, as well. There are a lot of trigger-y posts on this site, but I'm finding I react less to them than I used to. Don't know if I'm healing or if I just don't care to engage any more.
*edit to say, haha, your last thread was about the ignore list. . . I'll have to go read it now - you can probably teach me a thing or two.

Welcome back!
Good idea to avoid threads that you find upsetting, but I'd just like to note for the record that however it may look to outsiders (or sometimes even to the victims themselves), remaining in an abusive relationship is seldom truly "voluntary," based on my own experience with thousands of such situations. I don't need for you to agree with me, but I'm just noting that for the benefit of others.
You had some terrific contributions to make here, so very happy to see you back!

Thanks Anvil!
I think about you often as we are (or were) in the same neighborhood-- I always wonder if we've ever actually met and don't know it's us!

The ignore function is critical for me!

Winco is a local discount bag-yer-own grocery store. You can really slash your food bill - they have name brands and store brands. A huge bulk items section (including Cy's candy buffet!). Decent deli, pretty decent cuts of meat. I do our once a week shopping every Sunday morning...........

I stopped by one yesterday afternoon, and there was no parking - the lot was packed! I thought I'd try again today.
*oops, Sorry Cyranoak for highjacking.
