Hey there!

Not sure anyone will remember me. I have been MIA for about four (FOUR!) years. I cannot begin to tell you everything that has happened, but do know this: I'M BACK!!!

I have been reading, not posting, for this time period. That means that I have not missed very much. I know all about the arguments-du-jour (and there were many). I am so excited to be able to actually respond directly instead of shouting in my head

I thought about creating a poll to see if you could guess the reason for my hiatus, but I have not regained my star status yet, so you have been spared, LOL! You may post your suspicions, though.....

I'm sorry to say I don't remember you.......... Four years is a long time to be absent! I couldn't do that.

This place is in my blood!

And it is totally OK. There will be more posts later that might jog your memory, but not tonight.

Okay, I cheated. I remember your name, and I did a quick search and found some old threads in which we both commented (though not directly to each other).

When I get to the details, you will find out that you were close, but it wasn't me.....


Oooh - mysterious, I know.

My original name was WakeMeUp, but I changed it when DU offered an amnesty period after one of the elections - 2008 maybe? The change fit at the time.......
