I had many sleepless nights and I was unemployed for _ **nine months** _ trying to get the recognition! You’ll just have to wait for 2002. So there. 🙂 “…don’t forget about us!” I couldn’t possibly. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by ChiefScott_ > See ya, Silva! Oh my god, he spoke to me. Has that ever happened before?? ---

Hmmm… Okay, well if you’re going to make a habit of this whole “let’s talk to Silver Fire” thing, I’ll drop the smilies, forget about true happiness, and stay. Yep, just to talk to you. So Chief, how YOU doin’? ---

Miss you too, andygirl. Well Chief, I’m naked so I’m not wearing any clothes. (Unless you count this bathrobe, which can be very easily removed.) Oh yeah, I’m wearing socks too. My feet are _freezing!!_ ---

Well, it’s sad that you’re leaving and all, but it’s rally cool to see someone leaving these board because they have a happy and fulfilling RL. Take care, and don’t be a stranger. 🙂 ---

Aw, I’m so glad you’re feeling some happiness and contentment in your life, Sarah. Of course I’m going to miss you! Especially after all those silly, stooopid, and serious conversations we’ve had. We’ll keep in touch, and, heh, maybe someday you WILL sing for me! (Okay okay, it was worth a try. ;)) Just remember one thing dear: Nobody ever leaves the KGB …ooops. err!!! umm! I mean the SDMB. Anyway, take care. _Smooches_ -Mike ---
