Hello again everyone.

**elrod21** · 01-03-2014, 07:30 PM

Hello all,

Well some of you know me, and some of you don't but let's just say I was quite the regular around here for a long time.

At the end of last year my wife and I became Foster parents and from one child we are now up to three. I was finding less and less time to be on the site I love but would still try and find time for it.

Eventually though things got so busy with the kids I didn't find any time and though I kept intending to check-in, weeks became months and well before you know it I had been gone almost 5 months.

I was a Moderator when I disappeared and I would like to apologize to the other Moderator's of the site for disappearing like that without explaining and only hope you can forgive me for it. I still don't have a lot of time but I thought I should come in and say something.

On a lighter note, it's nice to see how many great gamers have been added to the fold while I have been away. Don't know if I will find time to try and get some of my old scores back but I may try a few. I am way out of practice though so don't expect much.

Anyway it is nice to see the site continues to run and be competitive.

I had so many "Your High Score has been beaten.." messages that I just deleted them all including ones I had been keeping track of in the past. The majority of those were TodayIsForgotten.

That's OK though. That man has the skills so it's not like he doesn't deserve to be on top.

Thanks! It hasn't been easy I will say, but it is rewarding when you see the difference you can make in a child's life. Especially when you consider what they are like when they first come to you compared to now.

Actually, I'm surprised I have any trophies left. I thought for sure all the system ones would be gone by now.

**Barra** · 01-03-2014, 07:51 PM

Thanks I have missed you all too. The holidays were hectic but fun. It's always great to see the kids faces when they open their presents on Christmas morning. Hope you had some good holidays as well.

Yes actually we had Christmas dinner at our house this year so I had Thunderlips and my other brothers family and our parents over. He is doing well but is very busy as well.

He is doing well though and I will tell him you said hi.
