Not that the Doper community has been wondering where I’ve been for so long, but it kinda feels weird to just jump back in, acting like there was no huge gap in my participation here.

I suppose I’m off the wagon, and back on the Dope now. Mom would be so proud.

Anyways, it’s nice to see so many familiar “faces”. Hello to all of the familiar ones, as well as the new ones!

So, unless someone feels like getting me caught up, I have tens of thousands of posts to read. I have a feeling that there will be more than a few pics of kitties.

Welcome back!

I love seeing your screenname and pronouncing it in my head. It has a fun and humorous ring to it. 🙂
