[QUOTE=Zebra] You’ll never leave my perverted day dreams. [/QUOTE] Just think **mika** you get to take that image with you. 😃 ::Sniff:: I don’t want you to go! ::Sniff:: Thanks to you I have learned a lot about Indian culture, poetry, movies, cooking, and on and on. Heck, I’m not even afraid to use curry now. 😛 Please come back when you’re ready. This place needs you. **{{{mika}}}** ---

I don’t really know you and you probably don’t even recognize my user name, but it bums me out to see you go. From the posts of yours I have read, you seem like a really wonderful person. I’ll miss your contributions to the board. ---

I don’t want to get into why I’m going just now. It’s my personality to always look at the bright side of things, and I’d rather leave on a high note, and remember all of the good things about this place. My e-mail is in my profile. I don’t mind people e-mailing me, either just to ask WHY? (which I will answer in a few days, not today) or just not to lose touch. Thank you all - I’ll miss you too. ---

Hey. Don’t go. I second the offer to sponsor you. In any case I still have your e-mail. First thing that happens when this place goes free is I’m e-mailing you to get your butt back here!!! ---

No. None shall pass. Well, ok, maybe some can, but not you. You stay where you are and clean your plate. You are not excused. Begging and pleading hasn’t worked for you people, so I’m going to take the road less traveled and try force. ---

Well, dang. I’m sad, too. The posts where you shared Indian poetry with us were some of my recent favourites–they were so beautiful! I hope you reconsider and come back, even if it doesn’t become free to post.
