> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Persephone \* > \*\ ***rocking chair:** Thanks for asking! Lee’s doing quite well, in fact. He’s still got some problems with his memory, but his physical abilities have tremendously improved. He’s slowly working back to gigging, even. He’s jamming with my husband tonight, in fact. 😃 \*\* YAAAAAYYYYYY!!! And Hallelujah!!! Besides which, sometimes memory loss isn’t such a BAD thing! 🙂 ---

“Did I miss you,” you ask? Feh. It figures. A guy goes and turns legal, and is finally allowed to start flirting witcha, and you start dissapearing for months at a time. Geez. I didn’t think I was _that_ bad at it. ---

I’m new, I couldn’t give a flying fuck about you. Just thought I should make friends here;) ---

Interesting approach there, **Judas** … We hear the cry from Cristi, Cristi, Cristi - “Did you miss me, miss me, miss me?” ---

> [@](#): > > Billdo, I hope you remember me soon. Like, before I show up at your house demanding to sleep on your floor. Well, if you demand to sleep on the floor, I suppose I could accomodate you. I was expecting to let you use the couch, at least, but if you insist on the floor, so be it. ---

You were gone? That’ll teach me not to pay attention. Oh yeah, I forgot that I never pay attention to anything. ---

**aha:** _smooooch_ **Xploder:** _snort_ No doubt in my mind that if I’d paid attention to you, I’d have been back online weeks ago. Thanks for trying, my friend! 😃 **Judas:** Oh wait. Never mind. :eek: **elelle:** What’s up??? I’ve gotta see you sometime soon. I really do. Been jonesing for a couple of years now. 😉 \*\*Jester: \*\* Keep up the good work there, young man. 😃 **Billdo:** I don’t care where I sleep. Doorway, bathtub, wherever. As long as it’s in NYC, I’ll be juuuuuust fine. Oh yeah. 😃 **Bryan Ekers:** Whatever you say, Cheetah. But maybe I’ll wait until you learn how to spell the name I’ve already got. 😉 ---

How embarassing, I mistyped (and almost certainly mangled) a _Simpson_’s quote. Then again my own name has been mangled often enough, so it’s, like, karma, dude. ---

I noticed you missing. No, really. I always read the MiDopers stuff ( you Michiganderians are a hoot. Must be the long winters combined with below average sports teams.) and the Mom dopers (BodyPoet, Sue Dunhym and uh…you…average Mom reading this 🙂 ) But I just figured you, \*\*Pers \*\* a) Got a Life b) Hit the Lottery or c) Your Husband won a recording contract and a chance for your own MTV reality show. So, were you out flouncing about or \*what? \* Nosy Dopers want to know. ---

> [@](#): > > But I just figured you, Pers a) Got a Life b) Hit the Lottery or c) Your Husband won a recording contract and a chance for your own MTV reality show. You figured I got a life? \*\*Shirley, \*\* that’s why I adore you. You never fail to make me laugh until my sides ache. 😃 I think I mentioned why I was offline in an earlier post, but anyway, it was because I didn’tpaythephonebill. And as for the mom thing, a couple of good things did happen in that respect while I was off. Dianasaurus started kindergarten, and Johnzilla not only celebrated his third birthday, but he also FINALLY started going poop on the potty. Woohoo!
