Yay! You’re back! I must’ve thought, “I should ask **WhyNot** about this” about a dozen times while you were gone. I also elected you for leader of the world but I think **Olives** may have won that competition. ---

Funny, I was actually just wondering the other day if you dropped off the radar. It appears you did, but you’re back and the old place is better off for it! ---

Welcome back! We’ve missed you! The only thing you’ve missed is a lively discussion about cow anuses. ---

> [@freckafree](#): > > The only thing you’ve missed is a lively discussion about cow anuses. That’s not quite true. We also found out all the historical monarchs of Europe were black, that Jimi Hendrix was murdered by the CIA, MI5, Mafia, and Eric Burdon, and that there are people who never got over the War of 1812. And it’s also true that we’ve lost some people. **BarnOwl** and **danceswithcats** were two of the others. And **chique** is in hospice care, unfortunately. ---

\*\*lieu \*\*- yes, yes it is. We’re absolutely committed to being great parents, and we agree on that stuff, so it’s easy. As long as we no longer have to worry about “who left the top of the toothpaste off” and “what do we want out of life” sorts of things, we get along great! \*\*Leaffan \*\*- I think that’s the eleventy fourth time you’ve told me I don’t know you. Of course I know you, silly! 😉 \*\*Alice \*\*- I saw that thread. Sad, but wonderful thread. I wish all our dearly departed Dopers and their families peace and love. \*\*Skald \*\*- I’m sure Scotland is jealous. \*\*olivesmarch4th \*\*- yes, being in love is awesome. I had completely forgotten quite how awesome until now. 😛 \*\*pbbth \*\*- I found that during my vanity search! Thanks for the thought, but I’m glad \*\*Olives \*\*has the responsibility. ---

I was actually just thinking of you last week. I just finished my first year of nursing school too and to be honest I thought you were one year ahead of me and I was wondering if you were graduating this May. Glad things seem to be going well for you. ---
