Over many months I have seen many people make their dramatic exit, storming off stage right at some real or imagined slight that other people have made to them. And when they get really mad (or feel really ignored), they make some dramatic posting about how they are leaving forever and will never be back.

But it occurred to me today that I have NEVER seen a thread from someone announcing they were STAYING in LL. Which is a pity, since it only seems fair that those staying in LL get their chance in the spotlight to storm ONto the stage.

So here I am everybody...I'm STAYING here, and I don't care who knows it!!!!

Back to astrology now, (I promise!)

Randall spends thousands keeping this site up. I resent the hell out of any critisism towards him actually, and that includes defacing the place we have all USED at some point or another.

Tim, thank you for posting this.

Supportingly,

*wink*

But I am glad with what I have seen here as far as Randall is concerned, the moderators are concerned and the vast majority of members are concerned. I don't want to name anyone personally, but there are quite a few of them who are the backbone of this community, thanks to ya'all.

Forgive my twisted humor, I'm a sucker for satire.

I must say though, I am miserable and fat. Even a little pukey.
Fair warning.

(Looks like I stopped being a moderator at a sort of good time, huh?)
I leave for a few days to try to have a baby and this place goes to crap!
Just kidding, you handled it well.

And yes, I said "try to have a baby..." and not "Have a baby..." and that explains the fat and miserable comment. I was due five days ago.

That was the sound of me UN-slamming the door and NOT leaving.

Count me in!

Sometimes it's nice when someone gives a friendly heads-up on their departure. At least then we don't worry.

And then others, it seems, have installed revolving doors on their keyboards. Ummm... except those don't slam... you get the point...

Anyway!

Unpacking.

Yeah, but why?
I thought that we all agreed
that it was time
for a new adventure.

This is our new adventure.
Staying is our new adventure.

What?
Why can"t you ever do
anything that I want?
I want to be alone.

Nobody wants to be alone.

I do.
Okay, l"m through
with these people
and I want new ones.

Unfortunately, honey pie,
new people are
only new for a day.

After that,
they"re just people.

Who will excite you,
disappoint you...

scare you a little bit.

And, boy, I know how tempting
it is to run away
when that happens.

It"s good for avoiding things.
But the problem is
you end up...

avoiding yourself.

Avoiding people you love.

You end up avoiding life.

So, l"ve decided
to start setting an example
for you girls.

I"m going to try
showing you what
sticking it out looks like.

Really get to know people.

And let people
get to know us.

I don"t promise
to be any good at it,
but I will try.

Because I want you and Zoe
to be better at this
than I am.

I want you to learn
how to let people in.
