				| I guess the title says it all, really.  Much to my chagrin, I have to leave the forum for the forseeable future.  I don't know when, or even if, I'll be back.  I felt I owed it to everybody to at least let you all know in person, as it were, rather than simply disappear.  So... yeah.  It's been a good run.  Sorry I haven't been around the past few weeks and I hope everybody is doing well.  Welcome to the newcomers and happy birthday to anybody who's birthday I missed.  Vanessa, Ronald, Martin, I'll keep my subscription going as long as I can but right now I don't know how long I can continue to afford it.  If anybody has a burning desire to contact me, for some unknown and/or suspiciously wacky reason, I can be reached on Xbox Live (at shafmaster) or on Yahoo (at skylore22124). 
 Well... I guess that's it, really.  So long, and thanks for all the fun.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Ok, I know some of you are chomping at the bit for the details.  Well... alright.  Here's a summary.
 
 On Friday, January 22, I got laid off.  Essentially, because the franchise company was having financial trouble and I was making too much money.  Unfortunately, since I don't have a computer of my own, I used the one at work or on occassion I get access to a friend's.  So since I no longer have regular access anymore I won't be able to get to the forum regularly enough to keep up.  That might change if I can get another job, if I'm lucky.
 
 On Thursday, January 28, my father passed away.  His health had been gradually failing for a few years now and to be honest it wasn't really much of a shock at this point.  I don't want to go into the details.  No, I'm not "fine" but yes, I'll be "ok".  Mostly, I just want to get everything about it over with so I can move on.  Again, details.
 
 I've got too much I have to focus on to be able to set aside the mental capacity to function here as well.  And that's pretty much it.

				| You have my deepest sympathies as well, Xebulon, for your troubles. I know what it's like to watch a family member, especially a parent, fade away like that. _________________

 Kinda sad to say goodbye to you, Oh, welp. You have to do what it is best for you and the people you care.
 
 Take a breather and relax for a while.
 
 When you're ready, do your best and when  you decide to come back, as always, we will welcome with you with open arms. ((aaaaaaand maybe a pie in the face.
  )) 
 See you in the future. :3
