What you just said. NOT.

And that goes for a lot of people, here and elsewhere.

Ok, let me clarify: we aren't being brought down. If anything, absence and silence makes us worry a whole lot more. However, if you do need space, that's fine. We would rather you worry about you and Squirt and let us do whatever we can to help however we can.

I won't claim online communities can replace friends in the room sharing the air with you, but I check here almost every day to see how people are doing. Glad to see you back, Dinky, and I hope you'll stick around. A lot of us have outlived our cohorts sooner than we expected. Have a seat. Have a drink. We'll listen. We've been there.

Being HFA and having a child that's HFA makes for loads of irrational reactions to minor irritants with feedback loops from hell.

Staying offline is often better for me, but I will make an effort to keep you in the loop.

Ok, so if staying offline is good for you, do what's good for you. *hugs* We just want to make sure you feel welcome and that you know you aren't "bringing us down."

Be well, hon.

"RDR²"?
When I was a kid there was a Saturday-morning-cartoon character of that name. He was sidekick to a lion named Lippy.

'Lippy, the Lion, and Hardy Har Har' *only line I remember from the song*
I think HHH was a hyena?

You all got it wrong. It's a Simpsons reference.

"Radius times diameter times radius squared."

Or, r • d • r • r. Rdrr.

Har dee har har.

No, that would be 2R^4.

And R^4 is Kathy Grrrsn's little brother. Not Lippy's sidekick. And not a twin, so there aren't two of him. (R^4 and RDR² are the same species, though.)

We'll go there all on our own.

Particularly if it's off the wall.

For proof, look at what happened when Paul went on hiatus.
