Harry and Ginny _ General discussion _ Leave of Absence

Posted by: nome Jun 29 2003, 06:49 AM

This thread can be used by anybody for the same purpose, but I just wanted to drop a line saying that I'll be gone for three weeks starting tomorrow. I will have internet for the second and third weeks, but can say nothing about whether I will have time to get on. Hope y'all have a wonderful summer, and I hope to see you on AIM or some such if I make it to a comp.

Best wishes, and toodles!

Nome

Christmas time is here again a.k.a. Yoda stuck at home with no internet time is here again! I'm only gone for 4 weeks but felt you should all be told. This is as opposed to the normal 4 weeks of me just not posting anything!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, A Happy New Year and amidst all of that General Excitement!

See you next year!

Yoda, going home biggrin.gif (yay! I miss my cats)

I was just saying that hockeygod and I post a lot.

Can you ever forgive me? sad.gif

PS I'm back from my trip! biggrin.gif

orite ill forgive you.... laugh.gif

Good Trip?

Posted by: RJOCL12 Dec 24 2003, 03:25 PM

You'll be forgiven just as soon as you finish serving your detention with Prof Snape. I believe he has some dragon's livers to be diced up.

Posted by: Della_Luna Dec 24 2003, 03:58 PM

I had a great trip despite the utter lack of sleep! I made tons of new friends but i missed my computer crybaby.gif !!!

And Robert, that detention was so disgusting and painful but I'll consider it as a fair punishment...I guess.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!!

~DL

Edit to add that I missed my dog also...and my family !

Posted by: nome Feb 2 2004, 05:18 AM

Heh.

Will anybody object if I post a post-leave-of-absence announcement? *eyedart*

I've been missing for about two months, and I expect the newest people here might not know me... I'm Nome, (used to be) beta-person and bowling ball queen of the world (mwahah... 0wn3d!). Sorry I've been gone so long RL -- school, family, organizing my life, learning to drive, trying to graduate -- just kind of took over.

But I hope to make any ex-lurker/newbies aquaintances soon!

Posted by: RJOCL12 Feb 5 2004, 05:12 AM

Thats why hockeygod's parents banned him from the computer until he got a job!

BTW nome, check over at mugglenet, several of the HP stars (not the trio) are going to be in CA in March. maybe you can get there.

*hyperventilates* Now I wish I hadn't moved from OC. The signing's in Santa Ana.

Well, it's only a little under 2 hours drive.... devil.gif And Drie might be able to make it, too! She lives in around Pasadena, IIRC, which is a bit closer, I think...

And it would give me an opportunity to wear my Chirstmas-gift-to-myself (a hand-made, by me, Gryffindor scarf. Although, made according to measurements someone supplied from studying the movie, my incredibly loose gauge means it ended up nine feet long. perfect size. My best friend got a slightly smaller Slytherin one for her birthday.) and not get so many weird looks!

Nome, plotting.

Posted by: Roxanne Feb 6 2004, 03:56 PM

Hi, y'all -

Just wanted to let you know that I'm being distracted by real-life (or as real as mine ever gets) and so haven't been hanging around as much lately.

I started a new job Feb. 2. I was at my old job for 21 years and 8 months, so this is kind of a BIG DEAL for me! Also, it's in another town, so right now I'm doing a hour+ commute (that's one-way) until my husband and I can decide if we want to relocate or not.

I will check in as I can but probably not be posting as much - of course, I'm not in hockeygod's and Willow's league tongue.gif in regards to posting output anyway! notworthy.gif

I am hopeful that things will calm down fairly soon. The new job is going well so far (my internal pragmatist is reminding me it's only been a week!) Wish me luck!

Good luck! I'm sending you as many pretty pink and blue thoughts as possible. I'm sure you're doing better than expected! fing34.gif

Posted by: Della_Luna Feb 15 2004, 01:34 AM

In case I forget to post this (very likely) I'm not going to be here from Monday until probably Thursday.

Since I have this week off as 'Ski Week' it seems most fitting that my family and I are going to...you guessed it...Disney.

Happy posting everyone!

~DL, who is afraid of big roller coasters yet has to go on them for her sister bag.gif

Posted by: RJOCL12 Feb 15 2004, 09:11 AM

That makes two of us. DL I won't be around for a while, at least as far as posting goes. I've got some personal issues to deal with and until then I won't be posting very often although I will be checking in nightly to see whats happening.

This doesn't mean that I will be stopping work on INVICTUS (now at 111 pages). I just need some time to sort out some personal stuff.

Hockeygod, you're in charge. Have fun.

Robert thumbup1.gif thumbup1.gif

Posted by: hockeygod Feb 15 2004, 11:37 AM

THAT IS SCARY!!! Robert has put me in charge! Aye, sir. I'll do what is needed.

Posted by: Smanda Feb 15 2004, 01:06 PM

Yeah, I probably won't post as much as I used to, I am getting REALLY busy. I hope I can at least post everyother day, you guys will have to keep me posted, get it posts and keep me posted! Ah, I make myself laugh.

Posted by: hockeygod Feb 15 2004, 01:31 PM

Since I am now, working, I won't be posting at full power, but I think I'll be on just about everyday, at some point.

Posted by: Elenarda Feb 22 2004, 09:26 AM

This week is going to be a nightmare at work. I'll try and pop online, but you probably won't see me much before the weekend.

Have a good week everyone smile.gif

Imogen smile.gif

Posted by: Della_Luna Mar 13 2004, 01:56 AM

ohmy.gif That is me realizing how little I've been posting and wallbash.gif that is me injuring myself over homework. That's pretty much what has been going on: teachers assign homework, I procrastinate, I finally do homework, I don't sleep. Not too much time for posting in between and I apologize for that. I'll try to get back into my 'usual' swing of things but that could take a few days, months, years...who knows.

Does school ever get better after freshman year?

~DL wallbash.gif

PS: Glad to see that Yoda has found both his head and his light saber! wink.gif

Posted by: hockeygod Mar 13 2004, 03:20 AM

Sorry, DL, but it gets harder after freshman year, because the work is more involved and because along comes a job.

Posted by: RJOCL12 Mar 13 2004, 06:04 AM

Ah HA! I knew that reality check would get cashed! Welcome to the real world HG! Now, just wait until you have a mortgage, wife, kids, car payments ect...

Posted by: Yoda Mar 15 2004, 02:49 PM

Well I'm glad to see my head and lightsabre are back, however I (as in me) am still missing something. That's right - Easter is here and I'll be missing my internet soon! I'm also going through a bit of a...madness with my housemates, so it's looking like I'm going home tomorrow, sooner than anyone expected. If any of you need to contact me from this point on (unless I'm on site, assume I've gone in other words) just pass a message to Quickhare who will get it to me by phone or a message.

Happy Easter to all,
Yoda

Posted by: QuickHare Mar 15 2004, 05:57 PM

I'll be a Not-So-QuickHare as I am quite deep in work, but I will try my best.

Posted by: Drie Apr 16 2004, 10:28 PM

Hi everyone,

So much time, so little to do . . . wait a minute. Scratch that. Reverse it.

Very busy times ahead for the next few weeks with work and I'm also in the process of moving. I'll pop in when I can, but there will be less and less of me overall. sad.gif When things calm down a bit, I'll be back!

~The Evil Auther~ (or whatever Bart has decided your name should be right now!), I promise to get a review to you soon. The second half of your story got packed into a box. As soon as I unearth it, I'll let you know what I think (though, I still say BRILLIANT so far!).

hug.gif to you all!

Bother!

For anyone who hadn't noticed, I'm back! Wheeeeeeeeee!

Posted by: QuickHare Apr 27 2004, 11:18 AM

You haven't missed much.

Bárt has messed with the filters,
several stories have been completed,
new games have been tried out,
my avatar has changed twice,
as has my sig line,
and my member title,
many people have been scared to post because of the Bothering, Annoying and Really Toilsome (I have not named him, but you can work it out).

biggrin.gif Welcome back!

Posted by: Della_Luna May 26 2004, 12:17 AM

I'm leaving early Thursday morning and coming back late Monday night and I will be far far away from a computer. Don't get too far ahead in the *insert number here* thing *insert person here* would never say threads. Just because I don't post on them doesn't mean that I don't read them everyday regardless of whether there is a new post or not. I'll type to you guys soon!

~DL

Posted by: Della_Luna Jun 9 2004, 02:05 AM

Hey, it's me...again. I'm going away again but this time it's going to be for three weeks. THREE WEEKS!!! What am I going to miss?!? I'll miss you guys. I'm not leaving until Friday but this is incase I forget to post. I'm coming back July 4th.

Have a great beginning of the summer and don't get too far ahead Robert!

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jun 9 2004, 08:10 AM

Where you heading to DL? And don't worry about me, I'll just keep ducking the objects sockless keeps throwing and by the time your back, I should be at around 340 pages on the master file.

Robert

Posted by: Della_Luna Jun 9 2004, 11:08 AM

I'm heading to Duke for a college program. I wanted to take a class on Harry Potter but aparently I'm too old. I'm not old enough to get on an airplane but I can't analyze Harry Potter with a group of people almost as insane as I am.

Don't worry Robert. You can borrow my "Random Flying Objects Sheild" It works most of the time!

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jun 9 2004, 06:29 PM

Duke, huh? Well, just remember to stay away from East Carolina Univ. Delores Umbridge is currently hiding on campus in the guise of the school attorney Toi Carter!

So your too young for an HP class huh? Why not suggest tot eh English department that they consider a summer course on HP fanfict writing? Take along some stories to show them. Might be borth some brownie points.

Robert

Posted by: Della_Luna Jun 9 2004, 06:48 PM

Actually I'm too old for the Harry Potter class.

Umbridge...I could've sworn she was at my school pretending to teach English. Same method: reading without application.

Posted by: QuickHare Jun 12 2004, 12:58 PM

I have exams and stuff to wory about, so I can only really pop in to see other people's replies.

Also, Yoda is away from Elenarda a fair bit, too. Exams and lack of internet. He'll pop in when he can.

Posted by: Willow Jun 15 2004, 07:20 PM

I never actually put up an absense but im back from mine now....i had school exams and although i didnt revise at all (cos im lazy i know!!) i just had everyone on my back. Including friends..saying its end of year its important....

Well im back and ha to them cos im lower grade so far is A...and weve got back 7 subjects...

Jen xXx

(ok excpet french!!! i cant do it......i got a C in writing but A* in everything else (reading listening and speakin))

Posted by: Goatman Jun 15 2004, 08:42 PM

I'll be gone this thursday till the next. I'm going on vacation in California.
also
from july 4 august 17 i'm going to Israel

I EXPECT LOTS OF NEW CHAPTERS AND POSTS WHEN I GET BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Yoda Jun 16 2004, 11:23 PM

Like Willow I was too preoccupied to put up an initial leave of absence post, but I'm back - finals all done and dusted. I've definitely passed them all and hopefully have passed well enough to end with a Desmond (that's a 2-2: 50-59% overall) although a Vordemann (3-1: 40-49%) would be welcome if I recieve it with honours (which as far as I know implies no retakes/failures in any module, which I am currently at).

So, I'm back while I'm here, will disappear around 24th-?th June for a vist home then back for the last few days of term. Then I'm off home for as long as they'll have me before I need to get a life of my own (AARRRGGGGHHH hassle) but my pc is being hooked up to the internet, hence hopeful intermittent contact - it's stupidly expensive from our village.

Yoda, thoroughly happy, thoroughly drunk and thoroughly at 'the end of all things' biggrin.gif

Posted by: Yoda Jul 2 2004, 11:18 PM

Well, I got my Desmond on 54.3% overall - with 57.65% for this year (last year's unfortunate 48% also contributed to the mark) and so now my degree is over and I should be finding gainful employment...although a couple of months on holiday sounds good too biggrin.gif

As I'm heading home I expect access to the internet to be restricted so I'll be out of contact - however, there is a rumour we will be getting broadband in our village soon (yay!). The other good news is that we're going to try to hook my pc up to the current internet we do have in our house (that's currently hooked up to a broken pc!) so maybe that will give me limited access for a while.

Anyways - t'is late and I must e-mail my address to more friends and also start packing for going home!

I wish you all a good summer, and if I'm back online tomorrow, ignore this post!

Yoda, going home

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jul 3 2004, 09:16 AM

Take care Yoda, and may the force be with you! Or at least don't do any thing we wouldn't do!

Posted by: QuickHare Jul 4 2004, 04:07 PM

I, after getting a Desmond all of my own, am still here (annoyingly to some). So, I will act as usual as conduit and proxy for Yoda.

Posted by: Della_Luna Jul 15 2004, 07:34 PM

Guess who's going away again!

If you guessed me then you're right. I'm going up to the northeast to visit family and whatnot and I'm leaving tomorrow morning and coming home on the 28th.

Talk to you when I get back!

~DL

Posted by: bart Jul 16 2004, 11:04 PM

Hello All,

I will for foreseeable future not be active here at Elenarda, don't worry about me I'm fine, but I have some family matters that I have to deal with. Imogen, Drie, and Robert know what these are and I have no problem you enquiring about my well-being with them, and I'm sure they won't mind you asking via PM's.

I will be about, and I will be back, just not very active at the moment.

Take Care,

Darren

Posted by: hockeygod Jul 20 2004, 06:41 PM

From Monday August 2 through Friday August 6 I will be gone on a summer physics program at MSU in East Lansing. So I'll be gone for the whole week. I'm telling you now so that you can get your tears out now and by the time I leave you can all put on brave faces and not miss me as much. Oh, whats that? You don't care? Oh, nevermind then...

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jul 20 2004, 08:22 PM

Alright gang! Here's our chance to catch up with HG in posting!

Posted by: hockeygod Jul 20 2004, 08:25 PM

Very funny Robert, but if I have any chance at an internet connection while I'm on campus, this is where I'll be.

Posted by: Drie Jul 20 2004, 10:39 PM

Okay, you think I can get 1,000 posts in to attempt to overtake HG's position? laugh.gif

Posted by: Jerry Jul 26 2004, 04:35 AM

Good luck with the program, HG.

If you find out some interesting fact, let me know wink.gif

Posted by: Yoda Jul 28 2004, 11:58 PM

Hope you enjoy your time HG, and to add to the list I'm a-going on holiday from Friday through to Sunday (the 8th) down on the French coast (now you know where to send the attack subs tongue.gif)

I'll be around briefly tomorrow as I have been all this week, because I'm engaged in a massive tidyup scheme at the house (and this is how I pay my rent). In other news, I'm still unemployed but have taken a load of aptitude tests with an agency and they say my skills aren't rusty at all - so hopefully I'll find a job soon biggrin.gif

All for now - hope you all have a nice break (from me)!

Yoda, goin' a la France

Posted by: hershey Aug 6 2004, 02:16 PM

Well we have the last baseball tourney this weekend. This one however is not in town. Although I won't be far from home, there will not be much time to be at the computer and so my postings will be infrequent. Looking forward to posting away come Monday for a few days.

Then we are off to visit my mom and spend some time with her during what is liking to be a difficult week. She has online access, but it's dialup and slow. I will not likely be posting often for the fact of not wanting to frustrate myself.

Off to be busy, busy, busy,

Posted by: Yoda Aug 19 2004, 12:54 PM

Well I'm off for a while again, I've got a wedding to go to this weekend (where I get to be an usher) and so that takes me away 'til Monday. Then I've got to get my life organised a bit more, and flip knows how long that'll take.

Cya later,

My life is getting busier. Not only am I having a few troubles in my life (nothing major, so don't panic), I also have a house full of DIY to sort out, and I help out with a charity (the http://www.rnli-exeter.org.uk) so my time is going to be split. I'll try to keep in touch, but don't expect immediate replies to anything!

Posted by: bart Aug 26 2004, 08:54 PM

Just to let you know I won't be around this weekend I'm off to http://www.greenbelt.org.uk for the weekend, camping in the rain! Should be fun!

So I won't be around to answer PM's etc until Wednesday but if you want to see what I'm upto I usally post to my http://www.bartsspace.co.uk whilst I'm there.

Darren

Posted by: Drie Aug 26 2004, 10:25 PM

And to add to the list...

I'll be gone until Wednesday, September 1 visiting family (and Hershey!) in Wisconsin.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 27 2004, 10:21 PM

As school looms closer and closer, I find myself pondering: How will I get to spend the amount of time I spent on the computer during the summer, throughout the schoolyear. The answer is quite simple: I won't. tongue.gif (A bit melodramatic, don't you think? biggrin.gif )

I'll try to make an appearance at least once a day, but there's a good chance that won't happen. In any case, I'll still continue to post "interesting" actors in the 'Actor-Movie-Actor" thread (though I won't terminate it, Hershey biggrin.gif ) tongue.gif

Jerry, going to study wink.gif


p.s. Anyone who wants to PM/E-Mail me is welcome to do so. There's a greater chance that I'll receive the E-Mail, though, so use your own discretion... smile.gif

Posted by: Tim Sep 3 2004, 11:03 AM

I can not really think where to put this so if it is in the wrong place feel free to be irratated at me even more so. I am suffering from an awful internet connection (as Yoda knows), so I want to say sorry for my prolonged absence. I have ways around the problem as you can tell but for now I throw myself upon your enlightened mercy and grovel at your feet for forgiveness.

Posted by: hershey Sep 3 2004, 10:26 PM

Packing up the circus to go camping for the long weekend. Will be back Monday or Tuesday. Take care all.

HG wanted me to tell all of you that he will be on a leave of absence...Get the girlfriend to do it *rolls eyes* original! *giggle* Anyway...he said that you can all attempt to take him off the top of the "People with the most posts" list...

Anybody that needs to tell him something can send me a PM or email or contact me in someway...and I'll get it to him! biggrin.gif

But I won't be here very often. I'm not allowed to use a computer at home, so I can only come here at school.

Well, its official. In about an hour and a half, i'm out of this bub and off to work. After close tonight, I head for the airport and leave for San Antonio TX to meet up with a group of WW 2 vetw I'm working with. Then on Sunday, I leave San Antonio and lead for sunny LA and a couple of days of running around Disneyland and the area with our fellow Elenardian Drie.

I won't be back until the weekend of the 24th, so have fun while I'm gone and you can expect a report on the get together later (suitibly edited for content tongue.gif tongue.gif )

Help Imogen! Robert is keeping me hostage at Disneyland and for ransom he is asking for an update to Nil...

Hope all is well with everyone. Robert says hello and that he'll try to post if he receives an opportunity.

Hello everyone,

I am sorry, but I will need to be away from this site for awhile. I will be out of contact with this board until further notice.

Kind regards,
Drie

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to lend everyone a heads up, I'm putting together a garage sale for the end of this week. Subsequently my presence here will be rather limited. Lots of work to be done gathering and pricing and such. Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

With much affection,
Hershey

Posted by: RJOCL12 Oct 4 2004, 08:24 PM

How much are you pricing the kids and the hubby for?

Posted by: Willow Oct 5 2004, 07:05 PM

Cool a garage sale, i thought they were just on TV!!! babe.gif

Posted by: QuickHare Oct 5 2004, 08:28 PM

My household harbour an attic full of junk. It's all usable, just no longer needed. I've offered to price up and sell our lot. Should do it in two days flat. One day to price, one day to flog. But the only charity it's going to is the QuíckHare Driving Lesson Fund.

Posted by: Yoda Nov 14 2004, 11:02 PM

I'm off for a little while - should be back post NaNo or so (workload increased a bit as co-workers off on holiday for 2 weeks - cheeky so-and-so's)

Posted by: QuickHare Nov 22 2004, 12:35 AM

Drie wishes for me to pass on that she will be away from Elenarda for about a week (returning on the 29 November) due to computer problems.

As she was not able to use the computer to post this message, I've done it for her.

Posted by: sockless Nov 23 2004, 07:46 PM

hey hey everybody! i'm out for a while! I'm going with my sister and brother to Savannah for thanksgiving! be back around Friday or Sat. HOPeFULY there will be some updates when i get back!! hint hint!!

Hi everyone...I heard from Hershey and she says hello to all. She hopes to be back soon, but here's what she had to say to me:

QUOTE
Sorry I've been so absent. Crazy busy with the holiday and now we are onto Christmas. To add to the chaos I had my tonsils out on Friday. Oh Joy! Should be better in a few weeks, but it is making things more difficult.


Here's hoping she has a speedy recovery!

Posted by: Yoda Dec 23 2004, 01:01 PM

Hello all - Christmas is definitely getting near - the relatives have landed! Because my grandparents are here there are reshuffles of rooms, which means my parents end up in the room where my pc lives - hence I shall be around less then usual for the duration of Christmas and beyond - for once again we are away at New Year! I expect to be back as usual from the 3rd of January or so, so for now:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Posted by: Goatman Jan 7 2005, 01:47 AM

hey guys
just wanted to let everyone know that i'll be gone for quite some time; i'm not sure when i'll be back. i'll be able to be contacted by email is anyone really wants to chat.
bye

Just to let you know I'll be out of contact or in varying contact (probably via the fast hare) for the next week. My return to Exeter for a short break is imminent, and so I will be left with internet access of a somewhat unknown nature. I'm going from tomorrow (Sunday the 9th) until next Sunday (the 16th) and should be out of my mind for the duration (not due to too much drunk.gif though, just normal for me around Exeter).

If anyone has any urgent messages, QH will be able to contact me by strolling down the road and hammering on the door until I wake up. Failing that he can send me texts or phone and deliver news that way.

See you all in a week!

Posted by: QuickHare Jan 9 2005, 12:07 AM

Yoda, the rematch is Tuesday the 18th, not this coming Tuesday. For those who missed it (Heaven forbid!), my local team, the humble Exeter City FC, drew equal to a team so high up in the leagues, that there are 93 (yes, ninety-three) teams between us in skill. The final score was 0-0, making us almost equal in skill to the giants who are Manchester United.

And yes, I shall be happy to redirect all messages for Yoda. I've recently earnt some money in repairing a computer, and so can actually contact Yoda should any news be breaking. What say the sight changes colour and Yoda's profile is altered by the PTB?

Posted by: hershey Feb 15 2005, 05:36 PM

Hey all. I am off to camp with boy #1 and then the family is headed to the Land of Cheese for a long weekend. Expect to see me back the middle of next week. Take care and to quote a good friend, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

~Hershey~ hug.gif

Posted by: QuickHare Feb 15 2005, 06:42 PM

Will be away most of the weeks for personal problems. I'll get onto Elenarda when I can.

Posted by: QuickHare Mar 10 2005, 08:33 PM

Due to a long-awaited holiday, I'm off for two weeks from Sunday 13th March until Sunday 27th March. I'll be off to sunny Portugal, and I will try to get net access during my holiday, but only for emails. I won't have much time for Elenarda, sadly.

I also just want to mention the following:

Hi everyone,

I just got a postcard from QH in Portugal that says, "Say 'hi!' (or ola) to all of Elenarda." He'll be back in town tomorrow (Sunday).

Drie

Posted by: USMCDevilDog Mar 27 2005, 04:45 PM

I'm leaving in four days to Iraq. It's been fun being back for a while, but as you know, I'm a 0311. So it's see you later for now.


Oohrah!

Thanks, Drie for passing it on. It's actually "Olá" (the accent is important), and is the standard greeting. Obrigado for that, any how. Hope all is well. I'm posting this here, and not the http://www.elenarda.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=375 thread as I'm Anti-Anti-Leave of Absence for a change.

Good luck USMC...We'll all be thinking of you! I hope all will go as well as can be expected and that you will be joining us here again soon!

Posted by: Yoda Apr 7 2005, 04:09 PM

I will be in a state of here/not here over the next couple of weeks with a randomness so random that even I'm not sure what's going on, so I will see everyone when I see everyone.

Which is no-one but QH, and then only on occasion.

Let me rephrase: I will bug everyone with annoying posts when I bug everyone with annoying posts.

Or PMs.

And by bug, I mean annoy, my evil plans for world domination mean I'm not bugging you.

Yet.

It's phase two hundred thirty-nine thousand seven hundred and twenty six.

I'm on phase...one and a bit.

Posted by: QuickHare Apr 9 2005, 08:06 PM

I've spoken to Yoda. It's the usual case when he's not around: Email, PM, Text, or carrier pigeon me, and I'll pass things on to him.

Posted by: Yoda May 17 2005, 10:49 PM

I'll be away the next few days (Wednesday to Friday) for a spectacular birthday trip in Southampton that should result in Episode III viewage on Wednesday night biggrin.gif Attempts to contact me will be futile without the aid of the Dark Side of the Force wink.gif

Hello everyone!

I'm posting for QuickHare. His computer is ill and he won't be posting here until it is fixed. If you have any messages you would like to get to him, feel free to PM me and I'll pass them along.

Smiles,
Drie

Posted by: Yoda May 27 2005, 11:53 PM

Scotland! Southampton! Swanage!

This week I mainly be going on holiday to places with an 'S' at the beginning. This is a real week of family stuff so I'll probably beyond contact of everyone.

Happy Bank Hol Weekend to all of you in the UK!

Posted by: QuickHare May 29 2005, 06:30 PM

Thanks to Drie for being my messenger, and now I shall act as one for Yoda, should anyone need the small green Hobbit-like creature touring the country right now.

Posted by: Billywig2 May 30 2005, 02:48 AM

Opa died too, so Mum's gone to Holland and I'm left with Grandma and Grandfather, and no computer, so I shall be scarce for the next couple of weeks, not that I havn't been lately, but meh.

Posted by: Drie Jun 3 2005, 11:27 PM

Hi everyone,

I need to take a leave of absence for a bit. If you need to get in touch with me, please feel free to send me a PM, or send word through Cristin, Hershey or QuickHare. I will be back, but I just need a bit of a mental health holiday.

Smooches to this crazy bunch!

Got a letter from my friend Bill (USMCDevilDog here), who's stationed in the Sandbox now. He says he's doing as ok as it could be there.

Posted by: hockeygod Jul 5 2005, 11:26 PM

I realize my attendance is spotty to say the least, but I really need this credit to graduate... oh yeah, this isn't school.

I'll be gone from Thursday morning at 5 A.M. to about the following Thursday or so. Hugs for everyone who wants or needs one. hug.gif hug.gif

Posted by: Yoda Jul 10 2005, 08:55 PM

Oh, the joy of broadband. Already my pc has become infected up the wazoo by the evil gits out there in the world. I'm going to be completely reformatting this old hunk of junk with the hope that it might work properly once the OS is reinstalled. For the forseeable future my only contact will be when I post a lunch during work and via QH should anything very important turn up.

See you all around!

Word of warning to all those on Broadband: Do a virus scan before you hook up, install a firewall without exceptions to begin with, and don't click anything you're not sure about.

I'm back in the U.S. ...

Been sent back due to health reasons

Posted by: Drie Jul 20 2005, 11:28 PM

I will be gone from Thursday, July 21 - Sunday, July 24 for a friend's wedding in Maui. I hope to pop in and out on the 25th or 26th, then I'm off with Cristin to visit friends of ours in northern California for the 27th - August 2nd.

Have fun all and stay out of trouble!

Hey all,

I'll be holidaying in the lovely climes of Slovenia and Croatia from tomorrow until the 11th of August. I'm pretty sure I won't get any signal/reception on my phone, so I'll pretty be out of contact the whole time.

yoda

Posted by: hockeygod Aug 7 2005, 07:52 PM

So like always I'll be gone for a week. Thats nothing new, but then I'll be around for 3 days and then I'm off to college. Once there, I should get connected pretty quickly, but nothing is guaranteed. After that I'll be on just about everyday. Aren't you all so gosh darn lucky?

If anyone absolutely must contact me for some reason e-mail oliverwoodubmine and she can get me the message. Now I'll just go back to my cave...

Posted by: Drie Aug 25 2005, 11:10 PM

Just posting a hello from QuickHare. He's setting up a new laptop and won't be online for a few more days. But after that... devil.gif

(Okay, I added the devil.gif myself...)

Posted by: QuickHare Aug 28 2005, 08:02 PM

Yep, I'm still not online for a while. I'm trying to sort out a wireless network when I haven't got a router yet. The store's out of stock, and I get a great deal, so I'm waiting on it to come in.

As such, I'm not here, and will miss birthdays (Like DL. Sorry!). Hope everyone is ok. I'll be online when I can, as my family treat my new laptop as an excuse not to let me on the desktop often.

Oh, and you ain't seen me, *taps nose* right?
(Look up The Fast Show from the BBC for that quote)

Posted by: Cristin Sep 28 2005, 04:10 AM

I love coming to this site, but it looks like I'll be coming to it less (at least until December). Yours truly has decided to juggle teaching and my MA in educational management. and I'm feeling like I've bitten off more than I can chew at the moment. I'll drop in periodically to check in on you all, just not a frequently as before!

Hope all is well with everyone!

Posted by: Yoda Dec 16 2005, 12:05 AM

Hi All,

Obviously the end of the NaNo hasn't given me more time for fun and hanging around, instead it's somehow left me with less - although that's mostly work's fault.

I'll still be nipping in during my lunch and other free times in the next few weeks, but after Christmas/New Year and the first phase of the project, I am either quitting my current job or taking a promotion, either way I should get more time for the site again.

As always, if you need to contact me I'll be checking my e-mails, the gmail address is best, and in case of anything urgent (sad to say this does not include chapter updates wink.gif ) you can always ask Quickhare to give me a ring on my mobile or at home.

Best wishes to you all, and have great Christmasses!

yoda, off to project, and work out if I put too many 's's in Christmasses or not...

Posted by: hockeygod Dec 19 2005, 10:16 PM

I'm a little late of warning of an absence, but until i get back to school, my internet time will be limited. my dad's computer puked and he hasn't gotten it fixed it yet, so I can hop on only at my mom's house. In case i don't get back on, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Posted by: Drie Dec 23 2005, 04:42 PM

I may be in and out a bit, but I probably won't be online for the next two weeks as I will be busy with a wonderful houseguest.

See you all for sure in 2006!

Posted by: QuickHare Dec 23 2005, 06:49 PM

I know I haven't been on the boards much lately, but I almost certainly won't be over the next couple of weeks. Besides Christmas, I'll be out of town and country and won't have much access to a computer. Though emails are welcome.

Posted by: Billywig2 Feb 6 2006, 07:55 PM

Well, I'm off to year 12 retreat to cook and clean ermm.gif ... lol. Goodby civilisation and hello Raymond Island! tongue.gif

Posted by: Billywig2 Feb 19 2006, 10:46 AM

I'm back! and moved interstate! and living in a college! and is oh so fun! ... but won't be on much anymore becauswe I don't have a computer blushing.gif

Posted by: Drie May 26 2006, 03:51 PM

Hello all...I will be out of circulation for awhile as I plan to leave Southern California to visit the absolutely wonderful QuickHare, and a quick visit with our resident muppet, Yoda. See you all in June!

Posted by: QuickHare May 26 2006, 08:07 PM

So, to add to that, I shall also be taking leave of my rabbit hole to go into sunny Cornwall for the time being. I hope they serve carrots. But, yes, I shall be playing host to Drie. And Yoda for a short time at the end. Until then, if there is anything important, you can contact Yoda who can contact me and Drie, or if you're American and have my cell number, you can call direct!

Posted by: Willow Jul 6 2006, 09:30 AM

Well, i'm going to Gran Canaria on Saturday and i'm working saturday morning so im packing tomorrow. I'll probably be online for some time today and a bit tomorrow but after that i'll talk to you all in 2 weeks time!

Hehehee, the QH/Drie thing makes me giggle when i read how not so subtle they like to be.
It's well cute.

Anyways. Much love xxxx

Posted by: Willow Jul 8 2006, 02:16 PM

Double post? Me? HA!

I'm going in 45mins!

Have fun without me yees?! hehe, i'm sure you will. I've had my fair share of disappearances! smile.gif xx

Posted by: Yoda Aug 20 2006, 09:09 PM

I'm off for my holiday (yay!) up north (yay - I think!) at the Edinburgh Festival (yay!) so I'll be gone for the next week or so, although the timing is very random and I'm not entirely sure when I'll be back.

See everyone later biggrin.gif

Posted by: QuickHare Dec 27 2006, 01:15 AM

I'm just letting people know that I'm away visiting America again this year, so I'll see everyone in January! Happy New Year!
