This is just a note to let you guys know I'll be gone for a couple of months, at least. I am not going to be reading anyone here for a while.

Thank each of you for all of your inspiration, and for your help to me. I am sorry I will miss the partnered explorations coming up, but this is not an appropriate environment for me at this time.

Take care of each other.

love, excessive in-your-face love, blink

Blink, the loving conscience of the board, you will be missed.  Please let us know how you are doing.  An astral visit or post in the future?

Love,

Matthew

Have a nice time dear Blink, and maybe you say hello from time to time!

Spooky

  Blink, i know we have had some disagreements lately, and that i said some critical things to you out of anger and reactiveness, but i do honestly respect a lot about you and your overall presence here. 

  I hope you have a good and centering vacation from the board.   Perhaps i don't know what i'm talking about, but my general understanding is that Retrievers with PUL motivation don't usually leave when the going gets rough or tough, if anything those are the kinds of conditions they submerse themselves in because its a opportunity of and greater need for PUL motivated service and understanding.   

  But at the same time, sometimes we just need a break and some distance.  It's good to know and recognize our limits too. 

  Peace
