I was going to ask if Blackbeer is still active, as I haven’t seen him post in ages, but I see he’s mostly posting on the Flute Forum these days. I miss the old friend of the four-legged.
Anyone seen BAGFED recently? 
I miss blackbeer.
I too miss Blackbeer but I did see a post recently which made me stop worrying about him.
I really miss Herbivore12. I thought I caught a post by him recently but when I looked again it was gone.
i miss blackbeer too. i may just drop him a line today. i am dying with a lung viris, too weak to even strap on me bellows. yes, black beer might be just the medicine i need
best, tansy
I miss Anna, too.
However, I do not miss jim_mc.
Anna dropped in to say hi recently. We had a nice exchange. Said she was back. I hope she is soon.
Hmmmmm. Why not Jim, Cran? I miss him.
I hope she’s back, too.
I’ll leave the other part of your question unanswered other than to say personal reasons. I shouldn’t’ve said it in a public forum in the first place.
Blackbeer has a cool avatar.
Where’s hillfolk22 been lately?
I noticed Duckrastra lurking the other day but he didn’t post.
Thurlowe hasn’t posted in quite a while. At least not regularly.
All these people were here when I cut my C&F teeth so long ago.
Those were the days my friend
we thought they’d never end…
Tansy, are you kidding? I hope so. About the lung virus.
What about JessieK? She was going berserk with the JessieD thing and then she disapeared.
When i realized I could never hope to catch you in the race to 1000 posts from Kalamazoo, Rick, I stopped posting.
Kidding!
I wish I had more time to keep connected, but somehow by the end of the day I’ve just managed to accomplish the bare minimum of all that 's required, and I’m dying to go to sleep. I still read posts as much as possible, though.

Blackbeer stops by the flute forum now and then. He’s doing very well, staying busy, just not able to spend vast quantities of time on the 'net.
thanks for thinkin’ of me flyingcursor, i’m not dying but i feel like it, been flat of my back since sunday, phoned a doctor buddy in key west a little whie ago and he is phoning in a antibiotic script
