I don't always participate with replies to the forums here, I do however read them all and kinda keep to myself. That's just me.
I do however, miss Pardes stories and her humor. Maybe she's secretely writing a novel and is so involved in that, that we are on hold....
the bike thing would bother me...I hate having my bike gone for more than 3 days, can't imagine being without them..hope things are ok for her...
