**Feel** , I \*\*feel \*\* left out. Seriously, if there are somewhat near 5,000 people staying up to date on this (reducing for multiple hits), I’m thinking that’s a lot of eyes that could be put to good use. **Phlosphr,** are you here yet? ---

funny how everyone’s is so preoccupied with this, but no one bothered to answer to that thread a while ago that said_My friend is missing_ asking advice and stuff like that. well i’m not excluding myself. when she shoes up alright, then don’t let her see this thread **auntem** it would only feed her ego. Although some things were posted that would uspet her, but overall having so many wonder and worry would make her more happy. ---

My guess is that she is fine, and will act all innocent and surprised at the fuss you all made over a simple, extended vacation. At least, I hope so. I must say, the suspense is almost as great as when the Evil Inside the Bin was waiting to be Revealed. Regards, Shodan ---
