Good…and yet bad in just the right ways. Have I told you lately how much I idolize and adore you? And while child-bearing may be out of your reach, I’d be honored if you’d have my cat… _checking my list of needs…oooh, there’s a good one_ ---

Well, if **Dreamer** endorses him, that’s good enough for me. And besides, **Rocky** , you’ve been such a good Dave, how could I say no? So, **Dreamer** , just how _good_ is he? 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Salem \* > \*\*So, **Dreamer** , just how _good_ is he? 😉 \*\* Yeah, **Dreamer**. You seem to have some … eh … _expertise_ with this Dave. Remember, as a student of **Sensei D.Bear** , I am studying the _Art of the Historical Scribe_, therefore it is my obligation to know EVERYTHING about the **Davebear Babes’** GDEs and BDEs … for recordation purposes only, I assure you. So, tell me all with wreckless abandon! 😉 ---

Always happy to help with research, **peritrochoid**. There are several important factors which you should always remember whenever cataloging Daves. The first, which you’ve already mentioned, is the ratio of GDEs[sup]1[/sup] to BDEs[sup]2[/sup]. A true picture of the data, however, must also take into account a few underlying issues. The first phase should always be to remove the BVDs[sup]3[/sup]. This will allow the researcher more flexibility and speedier access to the specific Dave in question. Normally, a GDE will result shortly after the BVDs are gone, but in rare cases you may find yourself facing an unexpected STD[sup]4[/sup].

But, **SoulFrost** , it sounds like our very own **Davebear** is a definite GDE, but we all know he can do his fair share of STDing! Especially wearing the PPH. 😉 **Rock** , thanks for the kind words in the other thread. I can let you and everyone else in on what’s mostly got me bummed. I got an e-mail from **mipiace** earlier in the week. Her mom called and wanted her to fly home immediately. That’s why she hasn’t been around. It seems her Dad is really in the last stages. I got a quick note last night. She said he wants to die at home and the Drs. are going to let him. It sounded like she’s taking it pretty well, taking it as a chance for her to say goodbye. Sorry to be a downer, thought y’all’d like to know. ---

Yeah, **6** , I had a hunch that was it. She’s really, really in a tough spot right now and could use ALL our prayers/positive thoughts/hugs. And thanks for the help, **SoulFrost**! You are quite knowledgable on all things Dave. At this rate, we’ll have enough Daves in this thread for a good, solid random sample of the population in our studies. 😉 ---

If you do hear from **mipiace** , please send her hugs and positive thoughts for peace from me. And the same goes out to you. I lost my Mom nearly 7 years ago and it was one of the most difficult, if not THE most difficult, thing I’ve gone through. I’m sure she appreciates your support. ---

I’ll have to email **Mipiace** , thanks **6** for letting us know. As for **SoulFrost** … 😃 From what I know he’s mastered both being a GDE and a STD. But that is all I’m at liberty to say at this point. 😉 ---

It is amazing that folks get all wound up trying to think up some justification as to why our thread should go away … “I get tired of having to scroll past it in the threads lists…” Like they open every other thread they see there. Its sad to see beyond the ‘surface’ and note that the real objection is … they do not feel included… when all are welcome! ---
