Seems to be a lot of our members "missing" lately.

Frizzer?
Simon?
BSF?
Wolf? (he popped on here for ajust a few days, but haven't seen him lately)
Herman Hesse?
Knitwitch?
Buddhafoot? (oh, no, wait, he's on here as much as I am!)

Who else is MIA?

    **raises hand** I'm here! :wavey:

    I've been rather busy offline, sorting out stuff with selling my flat and buying a new house.

    Here Miss!

    I'm here everyday but I usually don't post very often and you're all usually asleep when I'm online (most of you anyway - Bridge, get some sleep!).

    LOL!!
    The back keeps me awake and sometimes lying down doesn't help so it's not unusual for me to be up during the wee hours. My doc wants me to take a sleeping aid and I don't want to but that may change, who knows? I'm trying to sleep for at least 8 hours at a time because that does my back the most good but I haven't been very successful lately. But I'm not suffering it at all. I love the peace and quiet at night, it's beautiful and makes me happy just thinking about it.

    BSF, how cool that you're aware of the time on the other side of the planet. Nice mindfulness!

    I'm here!! But you guys know that since I can't seem to keep the mouth shut lately. :buck:

    Love,

    I'd been snowboarding in Norway last week and got back home last night.
    Just trying to catch up on what I've been missing ! :D

    Hi Frizzer (aka...World Traveller)!

    I forgot you were on a trip. How was snowboarding? I bet Norway is just beautiful.

    edited March 2006
    The weather was beautiful and the snow was just right so we had a great time. I even had a go at driving a husky sledge round the frozen lake which was an experience, they can certainly run fast !

    Here's a pic of the view from our window and also a pic of our hard working dog-sled team

    Wow! What a view! That is beautiful. And how fun that you were able to drive a dog team! What an experience!

    EDIT NOTE: Buddhafoot will be away on business and absent until this coming thursday or friday. End of edit. :)

    I love the snow, as long as I don't have to drive in it!
    It was absolutely freezing though. I've been to France at this time of year and been able to snowboard in a T-shirt but this time it was strictly thermals and fleeces under our jackets.
    Brrrrrrrr!!!

    No.... Where I live makes "rustic" look sophisticated....!! :grin:

    Aren't the lips great? Gadgillions of little sequins and rhinestones....

    MMM.

    Those lips look divine! in fact they're so good I'm thinking of heading straight to the surgery for some collagen/silicone/fat injections. mmm Yummy!

    P.S. You know I've always wanted pert breasts too...

    No, no, no, NO WAY. Even if it was free, I would never have any plastic surgery done. Thanks for the invite, though. Can I come along just to see them operate on you?

    I know a girl that has taken a type of piil that enlarges breasts-i thought it was a load of hogwash-but apparently it works. (she's a big girl now!).

    I'm not sure if you're in the UK, but she's from there-so i gather it is available for any "Sista' wantin' a little extra"-don't tknow why I wrote that-oh well.

    Nope....I'm good...thanks for the offer though. :) I joke about wanting "pert breasts", but I really am ok with my own! I'm really an "all natural" kind of gal.

    I understand. no worries.

    P.S. *thinking* But still, those pert breasts would look quite nice on me...

    Frizz,

    Gorgeous!!! AND dog sledding! How amazing! To my shame I live in the Great White North and have never gone dog sledding. But I live in the south and most of that happens in the way north.

    Fede,

    Those photos look like they could be taken where I live. It's just the same but with less fences and a little more wide open, if that makes sense. Nice little animal tracks on the left side of your lane.

    Yoga,

    New Mexico!! How cool! Isn't that where Georgia O'Keefe lived? She's one of my favourite artists. I love her!!

    Xray,

    Please seek help from a mental health expert. Your breasts are fine, I'm sure. As are your lips. And have you discussed this with your wife?

    Love to all,
    Brigid

    I know Simon has been really busy recording voiceovers and generally getting out and about since his operation.
    I'm sure he'll be popping in again soon though.

    No.... no holiday or vacation - just business. But, I was able to take the girlfriend with me. Fun place to stay.

    Present. I've been looking on, mostly at Buddha-U and other time-consuming stuff. Haven't caught up enough to post there, yet. Probably not really qualified to post much there, anyhow. But the new newbuddhist is quite the Lady, ain't she? Melikes.

    About 7 months ago my workload increased by 25%. Then 6 weeks ago, another 25% (most days). I must be crazy not to leave, but I did get away to the Beach for about a week and had no internet access there.

    Present, but maybe a little too tired most of the time.

    Love,

    Be careful, Nirvana. Don't do what I did and work until you break your back.

    Sometimes employers will lay on the work until breaking point and the only one who can speak up is yourself. Please tell them it's too much. It's not fair to you or your patients.

    Personally, and I know this is selfish, but I just can't stand the thought of you being overworked like that. I know with me it was my pride and ego that allowed me to be exploited by my employers. But with you I think it might be you're big hearted nature? I know it's probably none of my business but I had to speak up just in case. Please don't let them exploit you because care workers like you are very rare and as a society we can't afford to work you until burn out or worse.

    I have to think about one day going into care when my parents die and when I think about it you're the kind of care giver I would want. I can't imagine how much you've helped your patients and it just kills me when employers are unable to see the harm they do by adding work loads to already over worked care givers. It just ain't right.

    With love and sympathy,

    Hey, everyone.

    I've been reflecting on my posting behavior here in this site. It's not too interactive and for that, I apologize. I'm in a hectic time in my life--trying to get through my PhD and planning a wedding with my belle. All the while, I'm really working on mindfulness and being present.

    Because I spend SO much time working, reading, writing, etc., I come here often without signing in just to spend time with you folks. I tend to be more the 'lurker' type on boards unless there's something I'm burning to say. This style of participation is a little more low key but I want everyone to know that I really love reading the threads and ongoing conversations a lot. It's a wonderful community. I feel like you're all people I know--and I do know you!

    What's up with ZenMonk these days? It's been a while since he's posted...it was shortly after the discussion between he and Palzang that ZM seemed to recede into the mists of WI...

    Peace!

    I was wondering the same thing about Genryu.
