Wow! 4 days in a row? How LONG can this go on? The posts on this forum almost always have had some substance, well, some substance whether intellectual or social, certainly not piffle such as this. But have a great day anyway. 'u'

Welcome to the newly-designated "Oliver's-the-Only-One-Posting-Forum"! (OOOPF) Don't worry, when DeJa or whoever shows up, I'll be quiet.

Another clue as to who was to return in June to post at least a word or two: was a popular poster here, hardly an advisary as I recall. 'v'

Well, I'll give you a slight hint. It has to do with a cigarette brand! .^.

Goodness! The last post was Dec. 22, 2011 and it's now Jan. 4, 2012...You all must be on sabbatical? Well, this should be a good year for the forum....You're long wait should be over sometime in June, when, as I recall, a "blue moon" will once again occur.....And you, of course, recall what that means! 'u'

There is word that Winston is considering returning to this forum!

The *next* blue moon is sometime in 2012, during the summer, I think. ,^,

I'd been reading the "Winston" posts on the forum when on Nov. 12th they turned out to cease "cold turkey".  A month of "Winston's" being offline at this point is relatively a short span compared to, say, the elements working at producing the Grand Canyon, yet,  it begins to seem that long to this reader. Of course there are all sorts of reasons one can vanish, but when my very fragile adult  A.D.D. was reached a few days ago I decided to send a P.M. of inquiry/appreciation to "Winston".  

Unable to contact her, as a result I have instigated the following sincere poll.

So then the purpose of my debut/finale post is a request that you, too, P.M. "Winston" with your kind sentiments. Thank you.

Regards,
1-1 Note: Win posted a farewell of sorts here on NYE. Sorry to hear she had such a bad start to the 21st century. For that I wish her her own sentiments: " here's to individual peace of mind and heart". I am surprised her wishes did not include kindness to stray animals. (My oldest has been volunteering at CARA for a few years now, by the way.)
2-27-12: Oh boy, that "Buzz" is so swell! His LAST POST ON THIS FORUM was the BESTEST of ALL: "BOO!" Worth almost as much as  ALL his pithy insights combined! 'u'
