I’m sorry that I’ve been away so long, but I know **Hal** has explained a few of the reasons why. I know most of you are saying “Who is this person and why should we care that she’s back?” but I was hoping there would be at least a few people who would get excited. 🙂 ---

I remember your name, welcome back. Is everything ok? You know, of course, that **harmless** will sing that horrid song, because you reminded her. 😃 ---

> [@picunurse](#): > > You know, of course, that **harmless** will sing that horrid song, because you reminded her. 😃 That was what came to mind when I read the title of the thread. I don’t know the poster (welcome back, by the way) but I have fond memories of watching Nickelodeon in the 80’s and having that short come on every hour or two in the late mornings and early afternoons. ---

Hi **Harmless**!!! I’m feeling better, thank you for asking! I’ve been busy getting my real estate career off the ground and I’m doing well. How about you? Been busy? I LOVE THE NEW SITE!!! **Hal** didn’t even tell me about it :rolleyes: I would LOVE a picture! Good job **wolf\_meister** …captures the essence of the Brat Pack very well! And believe me, I’m the last person you have to tell that **Hal** ’s been bad! Of course I couldn’t stay away…you know, once you join SDMB you are doomed to be here forever. 😛 ---

Yeppers, I’ve been busy! 🙂 That’s seven brat pics total, btw…mr. **meister** hasn’t added the [new one](http://www.suzi-quzi.com/extra.html) yet. I’m taking a small break to do some work stuff ( :rolleyes: ) and to finish this effing Marilyn Monroe that’s so close to being done. Give a description of your Brat persona and I’ll add it to the list. I was instructed by **nocturnal\_tick** to do **AngelicGemma** next. 😛 So, how’s the baby making going? **Hal** ’s told us aaaalllllllllll about it. 😃 ---

Hi folks, Thanks for all the words of praise about the BratPack™ Website. And the lovely image of Bibliocat has been added to the website. I would have updated the website sooner but I was planning to explore the Marianas Trench. I’d bet its extreme depth has prevented _any_ exhaustive exploration. I suppose not many people would know how many times it has been explored. ---

Of course we missed you **kitten**. It’s good to see you’re back. I was getting scared that you were going to leave **Hal** to his own devices. ::imagines **Hal** in **Risky Business** :: …yes. WELCOME BACK KITTEN! ---
