I'm only popping in quickly to say Porquoi, I would miss you, you've been a lovely presence around here - especially with your newfound Ps. Who would hand those out when we need them? And I still need them...

Shue, good to hear from you and don't feel guilty. It's great that you are just off enjoying your life and I completely relate to sometimes just needing a break from it all. Been feeling a bit that way myself. As long as you are well and happy - and not not posting because you're drinking and unhappy - then all is well! Enjoy.

Working hard on a sunny spring Saturday here. Am supposed to be going out dancing tonight but secretly I really just want to curl up with JK Rowlings latest and some ice cream... Wonder which urges will win out?

Happy morning/night/eve all.

Hi-de-HO FABBOs...a late, late check in from the far, and rapidly freezing north. I've been working LOOOONG days outside dealing with all the stuff I couldn't do during our 40 days and night of rain up here. And now, well....dang it....winter is on the way. I tell you, I could feel the ground hardening up under my feet today. I moved a mountain of dirt and am feeling sore, but happy and a little bit more buff.

I have been able to keep up with reading here for the most part....Mick...wowee, owlie! 100 days PLUS now! You are more magical than Harry Potter! YAH, I believe you zipped past 60 days, right? Sunflower...you sound just.....just.....positively rockin'....and you're definitely on a roll!

LillyE....sooooooo glad you are back and working this thing. I gotta tell you, it really does get easier AND better the longer you're AF. Addiction is hell. I'm not ever going back to that horrifying place.

Now...speaking of hell...what an impish avatar for our resident hell-raiser! KY, girlie...you are a sparkplug! PPQ...I love your AVIE too....precious little critters, oui? Oh and Satz - your penguin just makes me smile. Did you know when I moved to Alaska I thought I'd be seeing penguins? oops! Don't tell anyone, please?

Lav - how's the nursing duty going? I really admire your compassion and your caring in this situation.

Det....you are such a fabulous, garlickly nerd! Collect ALL the swords you want. Or at least...all the swords Mrs. DX will let you keep!

Shuesy....how you be, dear one? You've been scarce around these parts. I would like to see your pumpkin shoes.

Good to see you Mom of 3....always nice when you pop in with encouraging words.

And Greenie....we miss you around these parts. Jack Rabbit! That's all.

Cantoo....loved your holiday pix. Those were the Canadian Rockies, were they, eh? It is so beautiful. You are a zippy one!

Molly...you're another fiesty one.....love it! I appreciate your clarity and straightforward approach.

Well...I will blame my fading brain on missing anyone in this roll call shout out...I'm sending all of ya'll good energy for another great AF weekend!
