My absence can be accounted for two major events in my life. One, suddenly life has got complicated, I do not wish to go into details, but I have to spend more time with my mother and two, not having a computer to work.

I hope to be here today, but not sure when I will return.

Good to hear from you. I was certainly wondering what was wrong.

Sending good thoughts your way, Philip.  :)

Philip, this place just isn't the same without you.  I hope things are going better.  Also, please know that we're all here for you if you do wish to discuss what's going on.  PM's are great if you don't wish to discuss things publically.  We love you!

Glad you've returned once again, Philip...and that you're okay. We'd been getting worried for a moment. I hope everything works out for you, and that you come around again when things start to improve. We're always here for you, buddy. :)

that's too bad. I remember before Julie got her laptop, we had to share the PC and she pretty much dominated the time and I had to wait until very late to get online
