Life calls. Situations have arisen that require my utmost consideration…issues to be addressed, challenges to be faced. My attention must therefore be directed elsewhere, away from these boards. Hopefully, I’ll still be able to steal away a moment or two and poke my head in here to get updated on the status of **Silver** Mom and the progress of **Una** ’s European conquest. Also, I made need to squeeze in to give holiday hugs to **Scotti** heart and **AudreyK** akes if I can’t make it back before Christmas. To all of you, my dear friends, my thanks for everything…hopefully I’ll be back before long. Take care and Happy Holidays! _sniff_ …miss you guys already! [sub]::turns and waves:: “bye!”[/sub] ---

**poopah!** Say it ain’t so, hon! I hope that nothing is wrong that can’t be righted. You are too loving and giving to have bad things happen to you. So my prayers are with you, that you will be strong and able to “fix” whatever is wrong. (((((poopah))))) Scotti ---

**Scott** , sweetie, I’m so sorry to hear you’ll be away. Whatever it is that needs your attention, take all the time you need to take care of it. As Scotti said, I hope it’s nothing that can’t be righted. We’ll be here waiting for you to come back. [sub]Darn it, I miss you already! ☹ [/sub] {{{poohpah chalupa}}} Happy Christmas to you and your family. ---

Take care, **poohpah**. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. (Or don’t do anything I _would_do. Something like that.) ---
