I noticed something last Friday, the same trend has continued up to this very day as well. Neither Satan nor Drain Bead has posted at all. While I’m not in either fan club, and don’t hang on their words, my search and perusal of their last communiqués contained no announcement of any sort of vacation. The only explanation is that we’ve driven these fine people away. I hope you’re all proud of yourselves. ---

_At the risk of getting Falcon berserk_ ## I don’te really think we’ve driven them away or anything. Not likely. Methinks the young lovers are just enjoying a little… time together, so to speak.

Yes, coldfire that was between the lines in what I posted. New love always means new priorities. I’m sorry Falcon if you took it the wrong way. Also, I’m only here, I don’t do chat rooms, so I’m not in the “in group” as it were. ---

LOL…I’m not mad, y’all. It just came up last night, and I had the fun experience of discussing it again. So I overreacted a little. Cold…you’re STILL not getting that bottle of JD, though. 😉 * * * “Jesus Mary Joseph…you’re a biker chick!” - co-worker, upon hearing of my tattoo. ---

> [@](#): > > No one stays forever; maybe they just lost interest, as we all will sooner or later. You know, I don’t really think that’s the case; I have a feeling they’re just laying low until this stuff blows over. But still, the thought in the above quote made me a bit sad. * * * “And he, he himself, the _Grinch_, carved the roast beast.” ---

I’m trying hard to imagine our pal, Satan, being run out of here by anyone’s harsh words, and I end up laughing too hard to pull it off. I’m not as familiar with Drain Bead. But not everyone announces their vacations. Hi, Falcon - nice tattoo! 🙂 ---

Wow. This is the most incoherent thread I’ve ever tried to read through. I’ve seen bj0rn threads that make more sense than this. * * * The IQ of a group is equal to the IQ of the dumbest member divided by the number of people in the group. ---
