Well, like many here, this is certainly quite a suprise.
Like a few others who've replied here, I have been a regular visitor (once a day for 2 years at least) but never really posted much, which I may one day rectify.
I hope that the family issues are not serious, and get resolved painlessly.
I also hope that you find the break good for you and use the gained time wisely :-D
Anyway, glad your hanging around still, and I hope that you always will .Good luck :-)
