I just stopped by the old neighborhood, and I am both pleased and saddened to learn, some things never change. I've been booted off the bandwidth twice, friend pages won't load, and one of my avatar pics has been replaced with the giant red X. Sigh. But, really - is it about the kitschy little page candy? Or is it about you? Some of you - you took me at my word and gave me a howdy do....my happy friends list is peppered with green pluses....which aren't really pluses at all, but minuses...Some of you - you've kept me even in my silence.

I may as well be honest. This was my first blog page and I am still attached to it, even though I'm never here. Every time I hear the rumors of Yahell problems, I cringe....not because of site options - but because amongst the myspacers, and babies, and drama....I have real friends here. People I miss. And I still think of you....

So I came back to check in. I will continue to do so - although I won't be 'real' active. I will at least be present. I'll reopen the comments...but not the email. And of course its a public blog.

I wish you peace, and I hope Yahoo gets it together...I still feel a certain amount of loyalty - and I want you to know, for those of you who have been my friends here...how grateful I am to you. Even if I've been absent from this page - you are not absent from my heart. I really miss this place. Time is still an issue....but - as long as the blog exists...I will pop in from time to time.
