This is a thread for people who will not be or have not been on the site for a while, whether due to real life or to resist an internet addiction, the latter of which is encouraged within reason. Also, talk about the benefits/whatever of taking a day or a weekend off, or things to do when not online. TV Tropes ruining your life is nothing to be proud of.

Generally, expect the following from this thread:

  1. People announcing their departure or return.
  2. Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
  3. Inquiries about an absent troper.
  4. Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

Dear Tropers.

I have not been around most summer. I apologize. I will not be around again until next monday (not tomorrow, a week after tomorrow). Anyone who wishes to send any P Ms should do so in the next two hours.

Never be without a Hat! Hot means heat. I don't care if your usage dates to 1300, it's my word, not yours. My Pm box is open.

For all sorts of reasons, including really needing to improve my real-life social life, I'm probably not going to be posting on the forum as much in future, although I will still edit.

It's been fun. Thanks everyone.

I'll be on holiday for two weeks, starting tomorrow. Not that that'll mean much difference from my usual posting habits...

Anyway, Catfish over and out.

@People who congratulated me

Thanky. First ultrasound has happened and baby is healthy as far as we can tell. Won’t know gender for a bit.

@Mandrugada I admit, I giggled.

Also, I back in the sense that I am here, posting this at this moment. Work and life have not let up anymore than they did before my hiatus, so it’s not likely to last, sadly.

I should probably clarify that I didn't dive for cover and bury the computer under a ton of rubble the second I hit the "send" button...

Girl's name will be Layla-Lain, boys will be "Haytham" ("young hawk" in Arabic).

We have no names if something other than a boy or a girl is what we get. But safe money is on one or the other.

I like the name "Haytham". There was a fella with that name in the photo class I took over the summer, pretty cool guy.

As far as girl names go, I've always liked "Naomi" and "Esther". Very Biblical, I know.
