Long story.....I just got lucky....I was "supposed" to be gone for a long time, but some matters got taken care of in a different way and allowed me to not have to be gone.
However, I will be kinda inactive for a while, soon, because I'm getting ready to move to another apartment and I'm not gonna have a net connection. And it will probably take me a month or two to get settled in and get my net connected again. I'll stop by Ftalk from time to time if I can find a cafe or something, but it won't be often. Maybe once every week or 2 weeks.
Anyway, yeah....I really just got lucky. That's why I'm still here.
