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.
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.
Welcome back, WhyNot.
WhyNot let us know next time? (Actually I disappeared abruptly too) D’oh! Welcome back!
I missed you as well. Welcome back.
**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.
Shh!
I am trying to lull the Scots into a sense of false security.
I don’t get a personalized reply? Fine, next time don’t come back! :mad:
Awesome. Glad to see your name active again 
Congratulations on the new love, sorry about the divorce but glad to hear it was civilized as things go.
Hey, welcome back! I’ve missed you, and I’m glad your “real” life is getting back in order.
Of course you do, my darling! Only, I’m running out of time and that pesky real life this is rearing its head at the moment. I’ll be back later to make sure everyone gets the full lovin’ treatment.
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.
Hi and welcome back. You don’t know me, I used to only lurk. Yours was one of the names I saw alot, so I decided I may as well say glad to have you back on the board
Good to see you back, WhyNot.
Glad to hear you’re settling into happy times.
Yay! Glad we haven’t lost you to the other boards, awesome as they may be.
A new fiance? It must have been a turbulent year for all of your family. Welcome to the best-friends-with-our-exes-club !
Yeah, we tease you a lot, 'cause we’ve got you on the spot, welcome back.
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
Welcome back, WhyNot
Glad you’re back. Although I don’t always agree with you, I’ve missed you from some of the threads where I DID want your opinion and valued it.
Ah, one of my favorites returned. Excellent! I’ll light up the squid!
Wha?
