Spring 2023 is Now a “GO” – Expect Da Woof to be Gone for Weeks at a Time


I have for you all, what is likely both good news and bad news.

The good news is that we are prepared for periods of my extended absence from this place.

The bad news is that there are no more “dry runs” – the time is here.

I waited to deliver this message until the first of March, to make sure that everything was a “go” for my spring plans, and as of now, it’s all a go.

I anticipated needing to take off from here for multiple reasons on multiple occasions, but all of that really depended on certain things happening, and they did, and there will not be any backing out of those things now, so….

HERE WE GO.

For the next four months, I will be checking in here FOR SURE every week or two – at most THREE WEEKS – and I will try to check in more often if I can. However, it is better for various reasons if I don’t check in under some circumstances. Thus, if I’m away for a while, and not checking in, it’s a good thing. It means things are going as expected. If I’m gone for a month, you are officially allowed to worry. Three weeks will be unlikely. The Nervous Nellies can start worrying at 3 weeks.

This is going to go on for March, April, May and June. Possibly July, but probably not. You’re just not going to see much of me for much of the time.

Because of the way notifications work, and the way important things can get buried under newer notifications, the easiest way to contact me (and me alone) is to do a PRIVATE MESSAGE TO WOLF (using underscores instead of spaces) on one of MY posts, such as the Monday Open.

Even Mona Lisa had to get through Mondays.

Contacting me is explained in more depth on the Contact Page.

If you want Deplorable Patriot, Bakocarl, SteveInCO, or another author to ALSO see your message (say it’s some kind of emergency, particularly on THEIR thread), then do a PMTW reply on one of THEIR threads. That private message will be seen by BOTH OF US, but not by other authors.

I ask authors to leave any moderated messages (including PMTW) up, and don’t delete them. I’ll deal with them the next time I’m back on the site.


In Case of Disaster

There is a possibility that the site will go down completely – particularly during troubled times like we are currently in. Dementia Joe and KlauSS SSchwab are not making things easy for this site. I can’t go into all the details, but we’ve already had to deal with their crap at several junctures, in part due to “global” concerns, and there could easily be new junctures.

Just add mushroom clouds.

In the event of disaster, there are multiple options.

You should note, however, that most of these options are on WORDPRESS DOT COM, and are dependent on that site being both UP and allowing our discussion. If wordpress-dot-com is brought down, for any reason foreign or domestic, then ALL of these options except GAB go down with it.

So if you’re looking for another denizen from here, look in all of these places.

For continuity of this site, the backup site is most likely to find new daily threads.

When I next return to the site, I’ll do whatever fixes are needed. Until then, you are allowed to enjoy your vacation elsewhere!


Suggestions (Not Orders) During My Absence

So what can you all do to make things easier?

  • Be civil to each other, and even better, KIND
  • Be especially civil in REPLYING to each other
  • Avoid picking sides in personal disputes
  • Yet never refraining from speaking the truth
  • Take a breather on another site if things get hot
  • Send me a “bat signal” if things are getting out of hand
  • Yet try to solve things socially – try to “work things out”
  • Remember that this site is for sharing information
  • Nobody is required to be “balanced” – YOU provide balance – with a civil tongue
  • Bad information is subject to correction, which is encouraged
  • Be careful in discussing violence, as we have always stated
  • Yet don’t shy away from discussing the need for crimes to be punished, and for good people to stop tolerating criminality in government, and in government-protected criminal groups, organizations, and classes of people.
  • BE FEARLESS IN TRUTH.

Other than that, I wish you GODSPEED, Vaya con Dios, and GOD BLESS.

I will see you the next time!

Definitely that time if year for the wolf to take his sabbatical. I think this one is the longest, but hopefully there wont be any major concerns.
Take care, see you when we see you!
