Why, sure I did. Why, just yesterday I said to someone, “Where’s what’s her name?” Jim ---

I did. I belong to another website, and there’s a person there named Persephone, and I’ve wondered if that was you. You haven’t been there, either. If it _is_ you, shame on you. 😉 ---

I though you’d just left early, and we wouldn’t see you until spring. You missed a lovely crop of pomegranates. 🙂 ---

I noticed! See, I picked up a new kitty (black with touch of white on her chest) from the shelter and was strongly leaning towards naming her Persephone because I really like the name and stuff but I waited for a while to see what kind of personality she exhibited and decided to call her [Ananke](http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/ananke.html). “goddess of unalterable necessity” It’s not as pretty as your name but it fits. ---

_I_ noticed. Didn’t you see me stuck in the supplicant position at your temple for the last month? Hmph…I guess that just because a goddess is omniscient doesn’t mean she’s paying attention… 😃 Welcome back, babe! ---

> [@](#): > > I noticed! See, I picked up a new kitty (black with touch of white on her chest) Wow. That’s really weird. I have a cat that looks just like that. All black, with just a little white spot on his chest. Really! His name is Telecatster. And \*\*Res, \*\* that was you? Geez, I’m sorry about that. I didn’t recognize you without the rabbit. 😃 ---

Well, I missed you, but you have grown tired of my affections and wandered away long before this so I simply mourn in silence and soltitude. _weeps_ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/admit-it-you-never-noticed-my-absence-did-you/131746.md?page=2)
