... take a break.

Maybe I'll (virtually) see y'all in a few months or so.

Mods: if you have it in your heart, please move this to PARF.

Just remember, the colitas is a plant that grows in the desert that blooms at night, and it has this kind of pungent, almost funky smell. Help you find your way back

That's just what I was thinking. You can check out any time but you can never leave.

Good on ya - enjoy the sunshine and the respite! I wish others would do the same. I'm guessing 5 posters contribute 80% of the "content" in OT. A little diversity of thought and comment might wake the place up a little.

After 20 years, when I wrote my 10,000th post recently, I got four responses!

I’m a loser. 😂

Well, not really. Getting paid a dollar a post, that was an easy $10,000 you made.

A few months Norm says.

A few is about three, right? Three months is 90 days.

90 days is a common incarceration term for myriad legal infractions.

Just sayin'. Don't want to stir up no trouble. Just hope he holds onto the soap.

See you later, Norm. Behave, and if you can't behave, be careful
