No, not permanently…
But I thought I would make a little announcement that I’m going away for a few days with little or not access to the Dope. Normally I wouldn’t do this, but I was posting fairly prolfically last night and didn’t want folks to think I had just abandoned the threads.
See you all after New Years!
I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning for Michigan and returning to Lafayette about an hour before 2003 gives way to the new year. So after today, my next SDMB post will probably be dated 1-1-2004.
So this is the going away thread. I’m off to India for a month. Kindly don’t rob my house.
I’m also going away. But, I’ll be back in about an hour.

Hey, I’m coming back. Not the the SMDB. I mean, I’m already here. I’m coming back to the STATES from IRAQ. The first week of January. What a great way to start the new year!!!
I’m still here. I’ll probably be here for quite a while.
I have no life.
Those of us who also have no life welcome you, roadkiller. 
And Dryfreeze, may I be the first to say WELCOME HOME!

I have to go to work for about 4 or 5 hours tonight…
does that count?
Welcome Home Dryfreeze!
Quasimodem and Krisfer:
THANKS!!!
I’m excited to say the least.
I’m not going anywhere.
While you may not have noticed I was ever here to start with, I didn’t go anywhere, and I don’t think I’m going anywhere anytime soon.
Oh, I forgot to ask, Sternvogel, where in Lafayette do you live?
Oops!!
:smack:
I have to take a pee, but I’ll be right back.
Alright, I was looking for somewhere to post this. Later this morning, I’m headed to Hawaii with Emily and her family - I’ve been visiting them for the last few days, and they’re taking me with them. Yes, they’re excellent people. Yesterday was my first Christmas, and I’ve also had the chance to meet most of Emily’s friends and her cat. So I’ve had great fun, and hopefully I won’t find this long-ass flight too difficult. It’ll be 8 hours, but I can read, sleep and maybe write a bit. Should be great fun to be there, though. I’ve never been to Hawaii. In fact, before Saturday I’d never been as far west as Texas. I think it’ll be cool to be one of the last time zones to celebrate New Year’s, it’ll make it nice and climactic. 
Later, everybody!
Well it seems everyones going away to enjoy and have fun,but sadly I have to go for different reasons.I got exams 29th thru 31st 
so i will be gone and I will miss the boards.
See ya guys in the new year!
Well, I’m gonna be out of town from the 28th-30th, so I won’t be posting as much.
Would eating you out of house and home and drinking every drop of fermented beverage fall under the category “rob my house”? We’re just conducting an informal straw poll , that’s it.
