    So I'm going to be scarce from the car scene for a while. I could whine and complain but to sum it up, life happens and I just have too much on my plate to deal with to really have time for car stuff or car fun in the near future or maybe even until Madeline like graduates high school or something. So instead of being half-assed in my car stuff and half-assed in my other stuff, I figure I'll let the car stuff lie for a while until I get my other stuff straight.

    I love you all, but at this point I have nothing more to contribute than baby pictures and other boring stay-at-home-mom type stuff. I no longer have a car mod budget, I no longer go out on the track or even to shows or club gatherings, so in truth I really have nothing to contribute here. I'll check in periodically, but that's what I'm limiting myself to for the foreseeable future. No this isn't a drama post or a poor-pitiful me post, just a formal sort of goodbye for a while.

    Tam

    tam - i very much understand where you are coming from. there will be times when i will dissappear for a short time while i am caught up in "life" stuff. keep checking in and putting in your very grounded perspective to things. this site is better with you than without you!

    Keep in touch Tamara. I understand completely. I don't think you'll be able to ween yourself completely from this train wreck.

    Yeah yeah, I can't quit you guys. Just figure now's a good time for some housecleaning both literally and metaphorically/figuratively and rather than disappear without an explanation, figured I'd at least offer something. This isn't a "screw you guys!" scenario, just realizing my schoolwork's falling behind, my daughter needs me for more than just feeding and diapering, and I'd like to move into a house sometime sooner than later. Plus I'm no longer financially independent, so I feel like an ass spending money I didn't earn on car stuff or non-essentials.

    But yeah, I'm still on facebook and I will be observing and stuff. Gotta say the LX section has been a piece of cake to moderate, guess being a scary redhead helps. :)

    What everyone else said...

    Know that you will still have your Mod position, so take whatever time you need to sort things out. You will be greatly missed.

    Not that I'm trying to change your mind, but lots of us are friends with you and we're here for you :) I'm out of mod money myself ... and I'm as useful as an asshole on your elbow but I still curse these swarthy goons with my presence. We'd still love yours :huglove:

    You don't have to contribute useful information to be one here...I'm a pefect example of that.


    Good luck sorting out what you need to...I hope life doesn't drag you away like it did Cheryl and Kym.
