**tatertot** I am very sorry that you will be leaving us for a bit, and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that whatever is going on will resolve itself in a positive manner.

I hope you feel like you can come back soon - I may not know you personally, but any friend of Poofy’s is a friend of mine. Seriously, though - none of us is exactly as we seem here. Even the most honest and upfront person has a few secret corners, and most of us have a whole lot more than a few. If you’d like to have a discussion about that with someone you don’t really know (and sometimes that’s the best kind of person to talk to about these things), please do email me. ---

This isn’t one of those plea for help type I’m leaving for a while threads, this is one of those hey, I’m going to be gone for a bit, don’t worry about me type I’m leaving for a while threads. Thanks for the concerned e-mails, though, I do appreciate them. But like I said, don’t worry, I’m fine. Just taking a little time off to take care of some personal business. Blech. I will try to have as many wacky adventures and goofy hijinks as possible while I am gone, so when I return I will have much to share with all of you. Sorry I scared y’all…really, that was not my intention. It was just after I missed a weekend or so of posting, I got three mails asking what was up, so I figured if I was going to be gone for a few weeks or months, I’d better say something. Maybe I should have said more? Ahhh, who knows? Take care, everybody! Hugs, kisses and all that good stuff. Tracy Ewwwww, and I just wanted everyone to know that Coldy ate the entire bag of Circus Peanuts I sent him. \ I really had to share that, it’s been bugging me since Friday. 😃 ---
