this is silly..why leave over the hot 20?? Arn't we here to learn..does it matter who wins or lose? I thought we were a community struggling over bryce..not issues that shdn't even matter! I've been so caught up with things ..that i have little time for myself, let alone bryce..but there is a folder that is full of ebots I have to go thru. And I do so want to enter this month's challenge..though I know I can never get anywhere close to a lot of pple's work. And nopes..I'd never want to leave here unless I am so caught up, that ebots freak me out!! ;) Or AS decides enuff of me around here! :) To the pple who leave.. over stupid issues like hot 20, etc..is it worth leaving, knowing that the pple who judge hot 20 are not so much us but kiddos who really don't know, that the few years or months that you stayed here (i've only been here for a few months)..you've learnt so much, shared so much, even yr own personal life and probs, and even fought with each other? And hey..all families fight..if they didn't..they sure wldn't be a comfy family to be with..you'd be on yr best behaviour all the time and wldn't even be able to let down yr hair or kick up yr feet on the sofa! I hate partings..I've had a lot in my life.. I've left countries, cities, even hemispheres.. never got used to all of this.. still leaves an empty space...
