1. Oh, my dear Retro...

Oh sweetie...

I am so sorry to hear this....

It was something I always looked forward to.....

Maybe now and then you might give us a treat?

You take care of yourself....:hug:

[RetroLounge]

6. I won't be around too often

paid my rent on house and store in advance, not sure where I'll go. But I gotta leave...

I can come back for my stuff some time later.

There's a couple of cities I've wanted to visit, might drive out to the west coast and see what's there...

Might go East...

5. Sorry, I may not have internet connection where I'm going

and I don't even know where I am going yet.

11. Your poems have been a source of inspiration and sanity for me...

...during some dark times. For that I thank you.

If there is anything I can do to smooth your passage to your new life, please don't hesitate to PM me.

Remember, wherever you go, there are people here who value you and care about what happens to you.

13. What about the store?

Even though we're just a bunch of internet peoples, you know we've got your back. :hug:

[dembotoz]

20. yah me too

we are local.
makes no sense blathering about the cruel, hateful republicans, if we ignore our friends.

[Callalily]

I kinda know how you feel. the only thing is I can't leave...

lost

[Inchworm]

16. Oh my- what have I missed?

I for one will miss your daily poems. And if I infer correctly you are about to set out on a great roadtrip? I like the idea of paying rent up. If you can afford it do a few months advance so you aren't bound to a return date.

I am a firm believer in wandering. It opens the heart and mind. If you can do it right, all the better.

I have enjoyed your presence Retrolounge. I hope you find what you seek. I will look back over the last few days to gather whats going on with my coffee.

May the weather suit your clothes and the law stay on your side.

:hug: :patriot: :hug:

17. I hope you feel better about whatever is bothering you soon.

Good luck on your travels. I hope to see the Daily Poem Thread back one day.

Check in from time to time. We'll miss you. :hug:

[kedrys]

18. Take care of yourself

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[malta blue]

19. I'm sorry to hear that RL - please

look after yourself...:hug:

[Joe Fields]

21. Good luck to you, whatever you decide.

Personally, and I know you aren't seeking advice, but I would go out west. It is the land of opportunity. Plus, I always find peace and solace in the wide open spaces. Northern California is like a church sanctuary for me. Just a thought.

[crispini]

22. Wow, RL, I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't chat much but I always lurked and enjoyed the poem thread. Also I am a little worried about you. I had the impression you were getting the store, etc. well underway and this sounds like a sudden and different new direction for you?! Hope you are ok?!

[supernova]

23. .... Please take care

of yourself RL.

:hug: :hug:

It does get better, but not for a while so enjoy the gloom.

[Neoma]

24. Huh.

I guess I could take over?

[Bullwinkle925]

25. I'm so sorry to hear this.

Does this mean that your store is also closing? I'm totally confused (as usual). Wherever your travels take you - keep your chin up and remember that you do have a family of caring people here on the DU site - you're not alone.

Hugs - BW925

27. Wadda drag

Come to Idaho and we'll drive west to see California Peggy. I liked your daily poem and for a while it must have been therapeutic for you. Maybe you don't need the therapeutic effects as much now. I though you got a new girlfriend? What about the Bookstore? Maybe this is just a bad mood and will pass? Be better soon.

28. Take good care of yourself RL. n/t
