_[Not sure if this is the right forum - Mods, please move if this is the wrong forum]_ I don’t know that I’ve made enough of an impression here for this to be meaningful to anyone, but I’m taking a break from the SDMB. I’m fine, I’m just stepping away for a while. Everyone, stay Dope! ---

Yes. All the above. Too much 'Dope, like too much dope, can be a detriment to life and well-being. Rest, recover, and return. We’ll be here. ---

I at least have to take a break from the political discussions. It’s affecting my overall attitude. I’m not hiding my head in the sand, I just need to stop dwelling on these negative issues. ---

If your leaving is a good thing, bon voyage! I raise my glass (ummm, chipped coffee mug) to thee! If it’s not, I wish you good healing. And if you need to talk about it? Stop back any time… (months/years from now you may gaze into a cloudless sky and hear a voice on the wind: “Y’all come back now, y’hear?”)
