The Mike Saga Continues

I am continuing to read our hometown newspaper, along with my other hometown newspapers, and continuing to make comments where I feel so moved. On at least two occasions, Mike has replied directly to my comments, once even addressing me, “Ms. Arky, blah blah blah.” All very nice and cordial, once even telling me about his mother’s death in 1993 and his children’s ages (all of which I already knew through prior sleuthing).

Yesterday, when I went in to read replies to articles, I noticed an article to which I was sure Mike had replied, and yet I didn’t see his reply. I went to his profile, where you can click on “comments” and see all comments made by that person, just to see if I had dreamed his reply to this article (not an article to which I had replied or planned to do so). Surprise – when I went to his profile, it was no longer there – gone were his posts and his photos of his kids and himself that he had posted previously. However, I later went back and recalled having seen some posts that had no name or identity of any kind on them, only the posting date and time, and lo and behold, they were him – or he were they, or whatever. The one post I went looking for is actually gone, but others previously made are there, including the one that he addresses to Ms. Arky, but anonymously.

I haven’t decided whether he has gone stealth or been suspended for making some kind of no-no remark. Watch and wait, I guess. I just couldn’t believe he would leave without saying “goodbye”. I mean, what kind of piece of shit would do that? O, but wait – he already did that. Been there, done that and got the t-shirt – 25 years ago in November, to be exact. This adventure has been amazing and, frankly, amusing as hell. I just can’t wait to see what happens next!

As Arte Johnson would say....think that was his name on Laugh In.... "Verrrry Interesting!". And that he'd leave AGAIN w/o saying goodbye? You know...if we don't expect much, we don't get too disappointed. I never knew you actually saw pictures of his kids !!!! ohmygosh!!! Keep us posted. Cindy
 
Hey, Cindy.
At this point, I expect anything from him. I hope you realize I was being sarcastic when I said I was shocked that he left without a word. He hasn't REALLY said a word to me directly anyway, but even if he were camped out in my back yard, I would fully expect him to stealth away whenever things got too tough for him.

Yes, I've seen his kids' pictures. His daughter looks just like him, and his son looks nothing whatsoever like him. He must look like his mother. They had those kids almost 9 months and 20 minutes apart -- she just turned 20, and he just turned 19 soon after. I had always said if I ever had any kids, I wanted to have at least four, and have them all 9 months and 20 minutes apart. Obviously I had an influence on him beyond.
