Sorry for the vanishing act, Innmates. Not really sure exactly how to explain this one other than to say I've been in a bad place for a while and, as such, have been unfit for human consumption...I'm finally feeling better all around, though, and should be showing my goofy face hereabouts once more.

Again, my apologies for leaving you all hanging while my "Eolness" got darkened over... See you very soon.


Eol

Well glad to hear you are ok; I think some people were beginning to worry.

Glad things are looking up and look forward to your imminent return.

Thanks, Jack!

As I've noted in PMs to more than one of you fantabulous and much beloved Innmates; due to a series of events and circumstances, I found myself in a seriously miserable state of depression that I had a hard time getting out of - I won't bore you all with the details (and it's probably better that I don't try and revisit too much of it, anyway) but, suffice it to say, I've never felt that miserable and it just about got the best of me...

Just about... but, of course, in the end, I was reminded of my "indestructibility" and managed to get myself sorted out. Thanks to all of you Innmates who were putting out the love and good vibes for me. I'm sure it was a major factor in getting me back on my feet and making me realize that the hole I was in wasn't quite as deep as it felt and helped me drag myself out.

Now, I just need to dust some things off down here in the basement, brew up an extra strong pot of that greenish coffee I'm so fond of, and I'll be back to posting in a jiffy.

Hugs and love all around, Innmates! You're all amazing to me and I appreciate each and every one of you more than you can possibly know.

..... that you have overcome the problem!

Will send a few more prayers your way!

...They definitely help.

Wasss up my brother Good to see your coming back been and still is a crazy world for many of us myself included.
Welcome back and join Alacrity's new 2ed AD&D game ya hear me

...Thanks, Tann-mann!

Amen to the "crazy world bit"... I'd gotten accustomed to that, I thought, but this last bout of mine took crazy to a level that I just wasn't able to manage very well, you know?

As to Alacrity's Audalis game, I'll for sure consider it but I wanna see what I can do about getting Smuggler's Moon back underway, first, before I commit to anything else. "Baby-steps" so to speak.

Indeed. Take care not to put too much weight on your shoulders too soon if you have just had a difficult time. We'll still be here when you're fully recovered.

You'd better be in facelicking form for newbies, or else...

Having recently occupied a simialr place, myself, Eol... I feel for you. Hang in there, man.

We love you!

Happy to hear you are doing better mate

Cheers!

Rumor was that someone ~cough~ first mate ~cough~ was trying to incite a mutiny in your Absence Captain; never fear I was here to squash any of that nonsense!

Me thinks the story be told a different way, an dat the swabbie best be remembering that.

... ....

Best let the Cap'n ease back into the game mate; 'e's bin land-locked an' 'e don' need ye smothrin' 'im.

Now, 'less ye plan ta be usurpin' da bard out o' 'er tale-spinnin (an I reckon ye betta not), enough wid da wild stories




(I hereby apologize to the other innmates who are here in support of Eol, as they had to endure the pirate-talk)

I dont mean to rush you at all Eol; when you are ready to post we will be here waiting patiently.

...entirely too funny!

Hopefully I won;t be keeping you waiting much longer.... stirring up a cauldron of creative juices, now, and hope to have a decent post ready very soon.
