My New Beginning
I’ve been through a lot over the last 6+ years. It started with having emergency surgery in February 2016, recovering through March, getting the dreaded news of Deeply Scared’s cancer diagnosis
Ultimately over the last 5 months I have been in a major life transition that will put an end to the tumultuous adventure I’ve experienced. I have once again returned to Texas. I have made the decision to move back into the home DS and I remodeled the way we wanted to grow old in together.
Even though the tenants’ lease runs through midnight tonight, they gave me the keys today and I stopped in to revisit my past. The anticipated triggers weren’t there. It will be home again, and I know DS would be happy with my decision.

Better Call Saul
Better Call Saul premiers tonight on AMC . Apparently it is a two night premier running tonight and tomorrow night.
I'm hoping for some Jesse & Walter cameos. There is talk that scenes may include hints of Breaking Bad like Walter's Aztec in the background.

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead starts back up tonight. Anybody else watching? The previous episode, "Coda" , comes on an hour prior if you want a recap.

Premium Access
First, I want to emphasize that SI will remain a free website and existing members will continue to have access to all existing features moving into the future. When DS and I founded SI we did so to offer support for those that could not afford to pay premium fees to receive the support they desired to survive infidelity.
Second, I want to express how difficult it is for DS or myself to bring ourselves to ask for donations to help keep this a free site for all who enjoy it. We truly appreciate when members do this on behalf of SI, or to even go to the effort of staging fundraisers like many of you have done in the past. These fundraisers generally produce enough funding to keep SI operating for several months at a time.
DS and I, along with feedback and suggestions from the staff, have developed some additional features that we feel may be of interest to you. Along with these new features we are also going to make a change to how we handle access to the Investigative Tips forum for any new members that activate their memberships from this point forward. If you have already activated your membership then this new access restriction does not apply to you.
These changes are an effort to capitalize on SI and make it a self-sustaining non-profit organization. We have put together a series of packages that members may find appealing enough to donate to gain access to.
Effective immediately, the following changes have been implemented:
These upgrades are available now for members donating via credit card on our new secured upgrade form here
We are hoping this upgrade will generate enough interest to pay overhead and possibly allow us to start an advertising budget to make the public more aware of our community.
