Hi everyone...

I'm sorry I have stayed away for 2 months. It had nothing to do with anyone here. There are a couple of reasons:

1. In August, my laptop broke and it is unfixable. So I am scrimping and pinching towards buying a new one. So I have to use other computers (mostly public ones) where my time is limited. That's why I just decided to use FB for awhile because most of you post there, too, and would know that I was there.

2. Also in August, I began having a few personal problems. While I am not going to go into detail about it, things are looking up a bit. I'm sorry if I caused anyone to worry. Thanks for your concern and kind words.

It's good to be back!! :wave:

Welcome back Monika! Thank god you're all right!

Cute, Charles. :lol:

Welcome back, Monika! I'm glad things are starting to look up for you.

:cheers:

It's very nice to see you back, Monika. Your presence, good nature, intelligence and humor were sorely missed.

P.S. What is this "Facebook" you speak of? ;)

Great to see you, Monika...needless to say, you were certainly missed!!! :)

Welcome back Monika. This place hasn't been the same without you. :wave:

Welcome Back!!!

Great to hear you're doing better now.

Always nice to hear from you Monika! Glad things are looking up. Re your laptop, would an iPad or other tablet suit your needs? They seem to be much cheaper than laptops.

I never thought about that, but it's worth looking into. Thanks, Rich!!!

Welcome back, Monika! I know you've still been active on Facebook, but it's likely some people here don't have Facebook accounts, so I'm sure they're glad to have you back. Don't worry, I still think you're a very sweet lady. (*HUGS*) :)

Welcome back Monika!!! :wave:

Glad to see you're back, Monika. :)

Monika, I'm glad you're back. As you can see, everyone missed you. I was worried at first, but then I saw you on FB and knew you were alive and probably just taking a break. It's perfectly understandable. :wave:

hi monika:wave: its so nice to see you here again

Welcome back.

Welcome back, Monika! *Hugs* It did seem like you'd disappeared for a while, even from FB. But I'm glad you're back now! This place def. wouldn't be the same w/o you! :)

Welcome back babe :bighug:

A broken computer can be very devastating!:( I'm on my 4th one in 12 years! I was wondering where you were! I thought maybe you, like others, deserted us for Facebook! :lol: I hope everything is going good for you now! So glad to see you're back!:wave:

Welcome back Monika! The place hasn't been the same without you!

Hey! I was wondering what on Earth happened to you!;)

Great to hear from you again, Monika!

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words. :bighug:

Great always to see you, Monika, whether here or on FB! :wave:

Glad you're back Monika & a be-lated Happy Birthday to you!

Welcome back monika!!! So glad I came back now and glad to see ya here :wave:

Welcome back, Monika. I missed you, hasn't been the same without you. :wave:

no need to give a reason why you were gone for a bit since we all have issues that happen beyond our control.

Glad to see you are back:wave:

I'm glad that you are beginning to feel better, Monika! :)

The good news is that my new laptop has just arrived - we just have to transfer the files from my old laptop onto the new. Lately, I've been using my dad's computer and I know he'll be happy to have it back. :lol:
