Taking an extremely extended net break

[belladonna]

No more DU, taking down my website, and kissing cyberspace goodbye for awhile. To the one person on DU who knows why and who IS reading this post, I'm sure.... you win. Happy now?

[MrScorpio]

1. Whoa!!!

Say it ain't so, Sweets!

[belladonna]

10. It sure is

Today's my last day on DU. As for the other place, I've got a sticky there with the details.

[Old and In the Way]

2. Just put him/her on ignore.

Don't let the bastards win. Take a break, sure....but don't make it permanent.

[belladonna]

4. Not something that can be solved with ignore

And not really a DU issue, other than the fact that this person keeps up with me through this forum. To that person, I say get a life and buh-bye.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

8. Solution:

Put your head together with Skinner and elad and get a new nick with posts bumped?

Worth a consideration, methinks.

16. No ignore right now--it's killing many of us... nt

[Taverner]

3. OMG...you're not taking down LU are you?

We love that site...I'll keep it up if you wish (and pay all the fees, host it, etc)...PM me if its possible.

[belladonna]

6. I have a sticky there at the moment

As well as a reply to your thread last night, sweetie... for what it's worth. But yeah, it's all going.

[Taverner]

9. Well can I at least "buy" LU from you?

Let me know the cost, etc. I'm willing to take it all off your hands, so you dont have to have anytyhing to do with it.

5. Sweetie!

:hug:

You can come back and we'll Lounge-stalk each other anytime.

7. I don't know you

But I do know that decisions made in the heat of anger, or sadness, or exhaustion, are rarely good ones.

I don't know you, but your last phrase spoke volumes to me.

I don't know you, but the responses I see here tell me that there are people here who personally value you and your contributions greatly.

I don't know you, but I hope you'll stay. At least to check in here.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope it works for you.

[MrScorpio]

11. Yeah, BD. There has to be another way

No need for the nuclear option

There's got to be a way you can get around this dickwad

I just met you, and I damn sure don't want to lose you

[belladonna]

14. Thanks for the kind words, sweetie

Three pronged problem that's gonna require an extreme solution, I'm afraid.

[arcane1]

12. did I miss something?

:shrug:

[belladonna]

13. Nothing here, arcane

I posted here because I won't be around, and because a certain someone seems to find out everything I do here in the Lounge. 'Nuff said on that one.

I may talk a little more about it at the other site tonight... then again, I might go out and get plastered... remains to be seen

[arcane1]

15. Ah ok. That sucks...

getting plastered sounds like a good plan, too. I won't be on tonight but I'll check the other out tomorrow

:grouphug:

[Zomby Woof]

17. I don't blame you

It will be good for you. I myself have hung up the whole "let's save the world" crap and have awoken to the simple truth that the only difference I can make is in the lives of those in my immediate circle.

Anything else is a waste of time, energy, and sanity.

Hope you come back, just to goof off with the few of us here who take ourselves less seriously than the scolds who try running us off.

[SarahB]

18. I'm just sorry about everything you're going through.

I don't quite know the whole story, but I hope a break for awhile can help make things better for you. :hug:

[sundog]

19. I don't get it...

do what you need to do... but I don't like the thought of compromising yourself for someone else.

You have a good support group here, you know we care :grouphug:

[belladonna]

20. Things may have changed a little

At least as far as the other site goes... I'll be updating there in awhile, or you can check into chat later and I'll fill you in. As far as DU goes, this is probably my last night here for awhile.

[texas1928]

21. Talk to me, I might be able to help

let me know.
