Delighted to hear from you. You’re always a pleasure to read.
I’m on the cusp of a writing career (well, on the cusp of commencing to try to start to begin to attempt, with no experience at all). Any tips? Apart from banning self from the SDMB, of course, which I’ve already planned. 
Howdy, Eve! You’ve returned in time for my retirement. Technically, today is the first day, altho I’m not sure the weekend counts. You really should pop in more often. And bring snacks. 
Well, hello again! Good to hear from you.
Congrats!
Hi Eve!
You’re not fooling anyone - we can see from your username that that’s not a dog, it’s a cat!
Good to hear from you again, Eve (in real live form, not zombie form).
Welcome back!
Hey there, Eve! We never talked much when you were a regular poster, but I remember seeing you around often. Glad you’re still lurking around. 
Hi, Eve. We miss you and are glad you’re popping in. There are too few people to discuss old movies with when you’re not around.
Nice to see you back round these parts, Eve.
Another grin for you from another poster who always admired you and was recently wondering where you got off to. Glad to see you again!
Well, hi!. You might not remember me, but I crashed the Dopefest party in Charleston some years ago. The big memory I have of that night, other than everyone else wondering “Who is this guy?” is I was the only guy at this table full of women who did not know who Kobe Bryant was.
Good to “see” you again :).
Hey! I’ve wondered how the wig thing worked out for you over time.
Thanks for popping in. You have been missed and its nice to know you are doing ok.
hi eve! pop in more often.
Hello Eve. I’m glad you touched base and I hope that you will come back more often.
Hey, Eve.
Eve is here, to give the joint a little class!
Now… just give us one little sniff and a "Well, really!" Just a little one, huh toots?
Good to see you!
