[QUOTE=The Mad Hermit] Of course they would miss me. I was last year’s SDMB “He Hate Me” keeper fantasy football league champion. _crickets_ I think someone might ask, but I don’t post often enough to be missed by many. OTOH I wonder where **faithfool** has gone to? [/QUOTE] [::: waves at ma honey :::] I’m here! Just dad had to have surgery and my brother’s still the same, but needs much attention… Anyhoo, I think you’re about the only person who ever notices when I’m gone. 😛 As to everyone else in this thread, I miss a bunch of you guys whenever I don’t see y’all much. The fella above, I _never_ gets enough. Around here or anywhere else. 😉 ---

No, I don’t think so. But that’s OK…all I really do is bug people for bird pictures. It’d be nice to be part of a Doper bird-clique. ~waves to **Colibri** ~ ---

[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland] You’ve seen a picture of my in my underwear? Or you’ve seen _ME_ in my underwear? [/quote] I assume you were in your underwear at the time, so technically I _have_ seen a picture of you in your underwear! You also linked to a Perla catalog at one time and I assumed that was the brand of underwear you wear, so, technically, I guess I have seen a picture of your underwear too! > [@alice\_in\_wonderland](#): > > I are confused. There was a post about your resemblance to Audrey Hepburn some time ago and you posted a picture of yourself. (You are very attractive!) Anyway, I’m not stalking you or anything. I just happened to see your picture. And I notice your posts and would miss you if you were gone! As for myself, I don’t think I post enough to make a very big footprint. I sometimes think there are guests with higher post counts than mine. ---

I know they wouldn’t; as I’ve gone away from the board for extended periods on several occasions and it has always gone unremarked. ---

No idea, really. I suspect it would not be any sort of blow to the board by any reach of the imagination; there may be a relative handful of people may say “hey, whatever became of…” and then move on to something important. ---

[QUOTE=vivalostwages] I regularly start threads for a number of TV shows, so somebody might say, “hey, where is she? She should have put that thing up by now…” I think. [/QUOTE] Lessee… There’s no Star Trek, no Firefly, Lost has lost it … What COULD you be watching? :dubious: ---

[QUOTE=VunderBob] They hardly notice when I do post. [/QUOTE] What he said. Plus, I’ve been a member for 4 years and have all of 250 posts. Hardly prolific! Also, now that I’ve posted to this thread, it’ll probably die. 🙂 ---

Well, I am somewhat prolific, but that means nothing. I highly doubt I would be missed; in fact, I suspect that there are several(many? who knows? certainly not me) here that would shrug and say “who?” or even sigh with relief. I don’t have much to contribute here-I am smart, but in no way even close to the smarter posters here. I am nowhere near as broadly read or as widely experienced as many here. I am boring. My humor is neither snarky or dry enough to add to any discussion. My thoughts tend to the banal. My woes are not all that interesting or exotic; even my depressioin is mild. I have some liberal leanings and some traditional leanings…IOW, mainstream, conventional, mundane and even insipid are adjectives that come to mind when describing me. ---

[QUOTE=What Exit?] I think there has been a few threads on waiting for \*\*Eve \*\* to return. [/QUOTE] What happened to her, anyway? I vaguely noticed a lack of **Eve** posts and finally did a search a few weeks ago when a zombie thread had one of her posts – It’s been _January_ since she was heard from last. ‘Eve’ is too short for a search, so I’ve missed anything where she was saying good-bye or something. And, no, I’m dubious that folks would notice my disappearance. Except for old movies in **CS** my focus is too scattered. ---
