h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...hiatus.

Friends. I'm withdrawing. Mostly. Doing a mass unsubscribe of threads. Trying not to subscribe to many more.

Why? My life is suddenly enormously complicated. I have to prioritise certain things:
- TCOB, both Domestically and Professionally.
- Staying healthy.
- Chilling. Enjoying this lovely summer.
- Reading the Metaphysical Poets.

Now I'm by no means falling into a black hole. I just have to do it smarter than with the outdated technology of hootoo.

I hope some people will want to stay in touch. Some have my details. Or you can get them easily enough (see my PS). If you're unsure whether I want to hear from you?...well - if you want to say something to me, I want to hear it. For some of you who I'm not already on e-mail terms with...I hope you'll take a hint and get in touch. You know who you are. I hope.

Some of you I'll want in my LinkedIn network. This is going to be vital over the coming months. Please respond to any invites I throw out. (They'll be in my RL name)

And, yes, I'll still be doing some selective hootoo.

Thank you all for your support over the years, especially one lady whose kind words took me out of a dark place and got me involved in this community.



And if - by an outside chance - you recognise the reference in the title and first line, you are an enormously person who *must* keep in touch.

Will keep an eye on your PS then.

I hear you. Need to TCOB myself.

But I'll definitely be in touch.

I've got your email. Don't roam too far off, now.

Err...what is TCOB?

Still not getting it

Ta. So it was the title and not the name of the group - B,T and O lacked C - and was in the wrong order anyway. .

I don't think I can grow fond of this expression.

Elvis just used TCB

If it's alright for Elvis, it's alright for me.

*waves to Ed*

Btw, is it just me who thinks we need an ?

Hi Edward, don't go too far, d'ya hear?

Not going anywhere. Do all stay in touch...By Any Means Necessary. You, for example, WP, already have my e-mail. All that's happening is that I'm not inefficienly wasting time browsing hootoo threads.

Na klar?

Hey Ed, I'm also spending less time on h2g2 at the moment - too much stuff I need to do and they can be very distracting. Will keep in touch though!

You'd 'kin better!

Will I find you on LinkedIn?

Nope! Just my blog and email of course. Actually I'm going to send you an email later that might amuse you! (Just wait and see.)

Hi Ed, not sure if you are still subbed to my journals, so I'll tell you the good news right here. My brother is OKAY! The first lab results were a MISTAKE! New lab results show ZERO PSA, therefore, no cancer!

I've been TCOB since early May...
