H'lo, Innmates! Just wanted to pop in and say that rumors of my disintigration are a complete fabrication... On the other hand, any tales told about my point-eared arse having been buried under the boulders of a real-life landslide are, unfortunately, not far from the truth. I've been dealing with quite a bit in the past few months - from my eldest daughter's cancer diagnosis, surgery, and treatment, to more mundane and slightly less frustrating things like increased workload, furnace failure, and untimely vehicle replacement.

Anyhoo, due to all of that, I've been sequestered in the SHU of creativity prison and, as such, haven't been able to make it here anywhere near as much as I'd like (which is to say, not at all). My apologies to all of you, particularly those whom I was gaming with when I vanished. I'm working on getting back into full-on facelicking form and hope to get back to "your regularly scheduled Eol" in the very near future! Get those fluffy towels ready!

I am very sorry to hear about your daughter's struggles. I hope the treatment is proving to be positive and working? I sincerely hope everything goes well for both you and your daughter and hope to see you back to your regular RDI schedule soon!

Your sentiments are much appreciated!

Heya Eol,

Just seeing your pointy ears around this place is great!

Man, sounds like you've been buried under some huge boulders. I'm really glad you're still pretty much intact, and dragon-soul's sentiments exactly: hope your daughter and the rest of your family are doing well and getting better and better and things start falling back into place.

See you soon, Space Cowboy!

Yeah, it's been a bit of a weight, for sure! Still feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all but not quite as much as I have been. My daughter's surgery went well and her treatment is promising, so there's that... The rest of it really just comes down to my finances taking a major hit and, of course, the stress that accompanies the whole "what the hell can possibly go wrong next" anxiety. 

Like I said, though, I'm finally starting to get my head back together, dealing with what I can, and turning the rest over to the higher powers of the universe. I'll get there... and here... before long, I'm sure.

 

Also, +1 for the Cowboy Bebop reference! I'm not a big fan of anime in general but that one I absolutely LOVED!

Well I'll be a steak fingered buckeye it is Eol. Damn dude we been missing your face licks something fierce lol Welcome back my friend and like those before, glad to hear life is looking up.

Thanks, Tann!

Thoughts with you and your family brother. Hope that life begins to slow down for you. 

You and yours are always in my prayers, brother. I look forward to when Life releases its grip on your steelies.

Eol, buddy!

Good to have you back. Hmm.. Now I don't really get to say that, do I? I've been gone far longer than you probably and only now, thanks to the love of our dear Webmaster, I actually managed to log in.

I'm glad to hear your daughter has now had surgery and treatment and I hope from all of my heart that she is and will be even better soon. 

If there were an emoji for rubbing my eyes in disbelief, it would be prominently displayed. I'm going to have to jump onto Facebook and report the hijacking of an account to the proper owner. Raven! Does this job change mean we'll see more of you here?

 I sure hope it does. And even if it doesn't, I'm still going to be around a lot more from now. Can't promise game partisipation yet, but when the fuzz'n buzz of the new job dies down... Who knows?

 

Wasss up chilly willy

Blessed be! That's great! I look forward to seeing more of you then.
