Hi Dory36!
Um, do people know your first name here so I can say hi, B...?
I've taken several long hiatuses (hiatii?) from message boards since TMF went pay. They comped me one year, but I didn't post much until around October. Then I took another break in late October (I don't like to post near elections). I've been posting there pretty regularly lately but I won't be paying.
I've been into forestry lately. You may recall that I tend my 85 acre garden for fun now. I harvested some timber and scheduled a timber sale "on the stump", but the logger ran out of money and the contract lapsed. It was a sweet deal for me because he sacrificed his down payment and performance bond (10% each) and I still have all my trees.
Some other things are brewing, but I'll talk about them in their time. I'll check out your website.
