Where has Laura-Ven, butterbean and gamergirl gone? ?

Is it just my imagination or have these 3 been MIA for a while now?

I love reading their stuff..miss it.

Anyone?

Just the sight of liver at the grocery store makes me a little sick.

When I was at the grocery store as a kid, I used to push on the plastic wrap covering the liver. It just felt so weird. That and the cow's tongue. I don't see that in grocery stores anymore.

They have GMO cows now that are bred to not have livers or tongues... or perhaps Mcdonalds bought them all up.

Maybe the disappeared to the "veterans" site that we're all not worthy enough to see.

You can look, but just don't touch or we will send out the veteran with the ruler to smack naughty boys and girls hands!

Mine has pigs feet. Not sure I've ever seen the tongue before tho.

Ha! That could be fun tho!

Sometimes I can't keep up.

But I DO like chopped liver (and Lipstick)

And I DO miss Laura's wisdom.

Wow...You'd think they passed away or something....they are busy for now..Hold on folks and I am sure they will all be back and telling us all their wisdom in no time......They all feel a responsibility to this forum I am sure......

Relax, breath deeply and the time will fly by..Meanwhile do your part to help encourage those on here that need you too....

Helping others can cause burnout, and sometimes, when lots of other stuff is going on elsewhere, a wise helper takes a break. I work in a field where the staff really does a good job of staying on track in the face of confront, and avoiding burnout can be as little as taking a day for your self, letting someone else do the job for a while, or changing direction all together if needed. Not even saying that these peeps are burnt out... just a thought...life outside the "Pal" goes on....

Hey I pm'd you asking!!! lol and good gawd don't say LIVER brings back horrid memories lol

I feel like chopped liver.

I poke the meat too!!!! :P

I have missed Laura-Ven's no nonsense responses. I missed the "offending" post, I guess! Boo!

I'm guilty as a meat poker too. Ugh. Now I can't even touch raw meat. I blame the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.

I always likes their wit and insight so I'm missing LV and GG. This sucks.

Still missing everyone. Hope they all return again one day & I pray all are well & having awesome success as they continue along their journeys! The site is not the same anymore & actually is quite boring. They really kept it alive on here! Best wishes to all sleevers!

I agree. I miss their witty banter and sage advice. Not nearly the same awesomeness without them.
