[Jay Mode] Many of you may have noticed that Silent Bob hasn’t been around lately. I’ve been asked to inform you that he’s had a death in the family; he’s not feeling terribly up to posting. So, in case anyone was wondering, he’s fine, and he hasn’t run away or anything. [/Jay Mode] SB: Take all the time you need, sweets. We’ll be here. _hug_ ---
