Hello everyone. I just talked to Brunetter, and she wanted me to let you all know what’s been happening. As many of you know, her mother-in-law was very sick. Well, two weeks ago her mother-in-law passed away, and she moved from her apartment (where her computer is) to her mother-in-law’s to take care of her two children. She’s doing alright, and the children are doing as well as could be expected. There have been lot of family around, giving her and the children support. She wanted to me to tell you why she had disappeared, and that she misses you guys, and that she’ll be back in a couple of weeks. ---

I hope she’s managing alright. I can’t wait until she’s back, because in the meantime I’ll miss her and I’m sure so will many others. Take care, Brunetter! ---

Hear, hear. She really does win the Stellar Human Being award for being there for the family, and especially the two kids, like she is. All the best to her, and the rest of the family. ---

Let her know that she can vent about the inevitable bubblegum in strange places rant in the Pit ANYTIME. And that she’s missed. ---

Thanks Rob. Please tell her I said hi and await her return anxiously. After all, there’s plenty of work to be done on the SD and money to be made not to mention cool t-shirts… ---

I can’t believe how lonely I am without you guys! Thank you all for your kind wishes. I mostly just wanted everyone to know what was up and that I didn’t just ditch you all here for no reason. I am getting my computer and surrounding goodies moved over to the house on the weekend of September 9th. After that, I’ll post a great long thread about the kids, my husband, my late mother in law, etc, if anyone is interested in the weirdness that has taken over my life. In the meantime, just know that I miss you all like crazy and can’t wait to get back!! Laura ---
