I have been away for a while due to lack of internet service. I'm glad to see that my hubs haven't fallen off the face of the earth. And, was shocked to see that one of my hubs has reached almost 8,000 views!
Unfortunately, I have dial up service, so my chances of uploading pictures with any future hubs is going to be limited. 2011 was a really tough year, and I am now living with my mom. (My partner moved in with his sister)
I might be hanging out in the forums, but, will try to keep with positive subjects, and avoid the church spewing crapfest that is coming from the presidential BS. Just glad that Bachman is history!! Hurray!!
Happy to be the first to officially welcome you back!
Sorry to hear about your life situation. 2011 was a suck-o year and a lot of us are happy to leave it behind.
You always have interesting and fun topics so I look forward to some diversion.
You're very smart to stay out of the political fray. It hasn't changed one iota and I doubt it will anytime soon. Oh, except all the people who supported the flavor-of-the-month club (Cain, Perry, Gingrich) will now rally behind the Rominator.
Not Evan G. tho. He's the only consistent and loyal one.
Thanks. I already slipped, and discussed politics!! UGH!!!
Welcome back! Congratulations on your 8000 views to one hub. Thanks for catching us up. Hope 2012 brings better days.
Glad to see you back, BC! I wondered about your circumstances since you reported some problems a while back! Hope things are better for you this year!
...was wondering where you were...wishing you and your partner to bode well for 2012

Just wanted to say a quick "thank you" to everyone. I'm pretty new around here, and this is the first day I've spent much time on the forums. Its been a kind of crappy/stressful few weeks in my life and I haven't been laughing as much as I'd like. (Not complaining, life...

As many of you know, I suffered a nonmalignant brain tumor earlier this year. Recovery has been hard and slow, but I'm much better now. As a small thank you, I'm posting a photo since many have wondered what I look like. It's an old one, but I didn't want to scare you. Thank...
