Hmmm… if I was a more cynical hu-man bean, I’d say there was a lotta fishin’ for compliments/protestations goin’ on here.

Oh, and **Flammsterette** , half the time you don’t answer your IMs for days at a time, so who’s to know when it’s just 'cause you’re busy and when it’s ‘cause you’re pushin’ up the daisies?

And I suspect that if **Darwin’s Finch** didn’t weigh in on a thread zoological, many folks would get a tad concerned. Or was that post just for the opportunity to use that awful pun?

Geographically, the closest Dopers to me are **Airman Doors** and **Ms Robyn**. Tactically, if I’ve fallen down a mine shaft and broken my leg, I’d have to depend on my kitty buddies to run to them, Lassie style, and meow out the message of danger, but I don’t know if **Doors** speaks cat! 😕

Note to self: keep cell phone battery charged, replenish stores of beef jerky, and feed kitties.

[Beatles]All the lonely dopers, where do they all come from?[/Beatles]

Actually, I fell off the earth a few months back and no one noticed, so I climbed back up.

Hey all you lonely dopers, maybe you should pair up, exchange emails, and now you have a doper buddy. 🙂

\*\*Zah Kree \*\* is my husband, but is a lurker-extraordinaire.

\*\*verbenabeast \*\* is my brother and would be sure to let y’all know if anything happens to me. We trust him; he even has a key to our house and has promised to never, ever let my mother in. Luv ya Buuuba!

Be patient, I’ll eventually come to a name.

**Davebear** hasn’t posted on SDMB for a while, but he and I e-mail quite frequently, phone occasionally, and consider each other good friends.
