Does this mean that dippy is gone too?

You'll be back but here's a suggestion and don't take this the wrong way, it is not intended to be mean:
You have way too much drama in your life.
Most of the threads you started here had to do with some dramatic occurrence in your life or in the life of someone around you.
More dramatic stuff than has ever happened to me or those close to me or to any of the folks I know.
Either you're a magnet for it or you simply live for the stuff and create it. Either way it ain't good for you.
