so if you don’t see me around too much lately, you know why! Not that it matters…I just didn’t want anyone to worry about me 
Tootles all!
Take care izz, dear… you know how to reach me if you need anything! I’m going to be away a bit myself so keep in touch as you can.
Be well, woman!!
For whatever reasons,whatever times,whatever…
It ain’t gonna be the same place without youse,
Both of youse…
Get back soon.
Slan,
D.
Have fun while away!! 
I’ll be away for a while myself…I going to be away from home and am unsure if I’ll have internet access.
So everyone take care and I’ll see you on my return!
–James
Well, now, actually, me, too.
Bye. Ya’ll take care now.
I love the new avatar! Yours too, izzy.. my eldest daughter’s favorite alter-ego is “Bloody Mary”, the pirate… LOL! Love the bow.
Looks like several of us are off to the wilds of “real life” for a bit. I won’t be gone until Friday tho… Have fun!!
Geesh! There won’t be anyone left for me to talk to pretty soon. I would hate to have to resort to talking to myself online- bad enough I do it walking around.
Bye Izz/Ad/Cran/whoever else said that they will be away. I’ll miss you.
Peace, Tom
I miss them already. 
What? Where are you all going again? I wondered where Izzy had been since I hadn’t heard anything about her invite to the PA get together.
Ad, Peep, Cran?
Peggy, you are the logical choice for temporarily substituting for the four of them. Can you do it?
hey folks, i am here for you, find solace in that.
Whew. Now I can sleep at night.
Oooh, FOUR of them? That’s a lot for one girl to handle . . . . but Amar said:
hey folks, i am here for you, find solace in that.
For which we are grateful, Amar.
Looks like that brings the number down to 3.5? I think I can handle 3.5 . . . yeah . . .
(Amar, after all, spotted manic tendencies in my posts over the weekend . . . I can handle anything right now . . . )

Well, I am still checking in here while I have a couple of private message conversations going on.
I’ve been made to feel exceedingly uncomfortable and unwelcome by one of the moderators, so I actually find myself unable to participate in light-hearted or fun conversation with that looming over. I’d rather just not participate at all anymore, if I can help it.
Cran, I know you really hate hearing this, but I have to say it.. you are still very young, and you don’t have the balance that age and experince together can give you… it’ll come. Please don’t leave.
Don’t say “anymore”. 
You’ve said that before but C&F always pulls you back in.
Translation: “I’m going to the garden to eat worms and die. Then you’ll be sorry!”
Things aren’t always as complicated as they seem at first glance. Really, if the truth was known, people aren’t focusing on you quite as much as we think they are, and we focus on ourselves far more than we should.
Just ignore all of it, Cran. Continue on, learning from your experiences, and enjoy your time here.
If you leave, you’re only spiting yourself. Cutting of your own nose, as it were.
I know, Flyingcursor. It’s sad, isn’t it? That’s why I added “if I can help it”.
Peggy, I’m sorry, I should have been clearer. I’m not upset over the deletions, locked threads, and locked forums that have recently occured. Those are all perfectly within the moderators’ powers, of course.
I’m upset because a moderator has contacted me personally (in various PMs), suggested that I was stupid, has threatened me with account deletion, and has become increasingly hostile to me on the message board, among other things, all within the past week. I feel a bit stifled, to be honest, and I definately feel singled out, for whatever reason.
P.S. I would never eat worms!
Yeah, you say that now. I’ve tried that to.
But it won’t hold long, just you wait.
You’ll come back for just one little peek,
(since you were checking your e-mail anyway)
and next thing you know you’ll be sucked back in again!
Post! You know you want to!!!
Don’t you HEAR THE VOICES, CALLING…
JUST ONE MORE POST?!?!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Um, uh… oh yeah… have a good time. It’s spring, a lovely time for a bit of a break. Good idea!
