I left mainly because of Jibbles and Seph's "tough love" shamed me into making more of an effort to find a job and a better life. Found one working part time in the produce department and cash register at Price Chopper. Also my mom died on August 9th, so I'm spending time helping out Dad, looking for full time work and getting me, dad and my youngest brother moved out of my parent's house hopefully by spring. Also I'm still thinking about the priesthood. When things settle down and get less crazy, I'll try to post more on my message boards.
So....Didn't leave because of Gear. Gear reminds me of a carnival sideshow: entertaining and full of bullshit.
