[hijack] Has anyone welcomed **Sapo** back yet? I’ve missed his postings for over two months now. (I’m posting this here because I thought it would be more probable for him to return to this thread rather than another escalator one.) Welcome back, where the heckles did you go? Some things you’ve missed: - **Badchad** was banned - **Liberal** paid another poster $500 to leave the SDMB - **Auto** put something in his bum - A doper admitted to adultery - \*\*tomndebb \*\* continued to get 150 silly pittings - And **Cecil** posted once too [/hijack] ---

**Liberal** paid another poster $500 to leave? I thought there was only the one. Hey, I just realized - I need money. Maybe I should go annoy Liberal! Welcome back, **Sapo**! (We got a new server, too. Now it just flakes out intermittently, instead of regularly.) ---

😃 Thanks for the welcome. Meatlife became suddenly very crazy. It went more or less like this: -We figured \*\*Sapita \*\* was too big for her crib -We changed the crib for a bed. -The bed didn’t fit in the space the crib left. -We removed a little nightstand with two drawers from that room -We had two drawerfulls of stuff to hide and no closet room. This quickly cascaded and snowballed into a massive spring cleaning and general house reorganization that included getting rid of all our furniture and buying all new stuff, redoing the kitchen, building a porch, sealing the roof, etc, etc, etc. (I wish I were making this up, I just came from the bank, signing a refinancing of our home!) A 3-week vacation to Venezuela also got in the middle of all that. It was a great time. \*\*Sapita \*\* now sleeps comfortably on her new bed (still a mattress on the floor until we are sure she is not into falling off bed every night). She will graduate to a spring box and a mattress next week. For the first time since we moved here, two and a half years ago, I like my house. So it is all good. So how do I get \*\*Liberal \*\* to pay me to open a new account with a new name? ---

Wow, **Sapo**. That is why you must never, ever make changes around the house. 😃
