I think if someone's gonna be gone for an extended period of time but plan on being back at some point, they deserve a place other than amongst the actual Goodbye threads. So.... here it is!
Feel free to let us all know here when you plan to be gone (so we can hold the parties), and when you expect to be back approximately (so we can then
stop the parties

).
That having been said....
me first!
I have a family reunion/birthday party to go to this weekend (the 19th, and after events are planned for Sunday), so I won't be around until Monday to survey the mess you guys leave me to clean up

. I'll be about 3 hours drive from home, with no computer in sight, so.... yeah

.
Have fun, kiddypoos
