Due to computer problems yesterday, I wasn't able to stay online long enough to post a message to tell everyone that I was leaving to take a much needed break from Sleuth. I'm already having withdrawals from my being addicted to Sleuth..lol. I hope I want need theraphy before I can get back...hehe. The real reason for having to leave is I need to have my computer fixed and Windows XP reinstalled, and more ram added, so I can stay online and solve cases without the constant interruption of being knocked offline, or my computer freezing up. It took me forever to solve cases or get anything accomplished. Another reason is because of my health. I'm facing surgery in the near future, and other major health problems, at this time.It broke my heart to let my dream agency close at Lone Wolf, but it was something I knew had to be done. It's alot of work running an agency, so I let it go because of affecting my health, so I merged with Star Agency, in hopes of helping relieve the stress or load from me. It certaintly did help to merge together with Lillyn, my long time friend, but I just couldn't continue on because of my health, and plus I needed to get my computer fixed. I came back today to let Ben & Sunny know that DaRu's character will not be quitting, but taking a vacation or break for awhile. I will deeply miss all my friends here, M.Zane, and Lillyn, as well as Vipsania2, Lacie, Mike Mitchell 2, and new members, Morghan, Wriglyfield, and Schwelds. I wish my friends the best at "Star Agency" and success in winning trophies as they climb in rank.They are great agents and I know they can do it. I'll be rooting for you guys offline...lol. God bless you all. "Happy Sleuthing Everyone!"

That's so sweet! Don't sweat it that you can't play so much, if OMEGA ever gets to a point where they can't pay rent. Please knock on my door. I will quickly join you, to deposit cash.

Frankly, now that you bring up agency top 20 stuff. I am personally hate it, that I advanced on the top score detective board, because of your departure. There is no glory in it. Also, I feel bad for bumping you off your spot. :(

Take good care of Sherlock! And yourself!

Good morning jstkdn, and right back at you. I read the message aloud to Waylon/Texan, and we both thought it was sweet. Hope I never run out of money, but if I do, this is great to know, and again thanks. I'll take special care of "Sherlock,". I've got to keep his strength up so he can track down those killers for me and & make Sleuthville, USA, a safer place to live, hehe. Well, take care.

PS jstkdn, I wanted to add that it didn't hurt my feelings that I was replaced by you on the list of "GrandMaster Detectives," in fact, I felt it was only right, since I thought I was leaving. I did feel sad that things in my life prevented me from reaching the goal I setout to accomplish & one day reach No. 2 in rank beneath Bella Luna, however, I was proud for you. Then when I clicked on "Legendary Detectives," and discovered that Ben had placed me at No. 2, beneath Bella, my heart lept for joy. I just couldn't believe it and felt so honored. I've highly admire & respect Bella, for she is one classy lady. Thank you Ben for placing me amoung these great detectives.

OK! Here comes jojo's long, heartfelt message.

DaRu, you and I have become close through this game. I have to thank Ben for 'meeting' you and getting to know you. I also have not been playing as much. I will continue to stop by and check up on you. Please come stop by once in a while!

DaRu, I decided to write something for you:

"True friends are like footprints in the sand.
They come and they go.
They are washed away by the rising tide.
But no matter what,
They leave a lasting impression."

DaRu, you (and others) have helped me through hard times. Things were not going so well; but I met you.

"Yur path crossed mine. Mine crossed yours. We walked on each other's beaches of life, and left footprints that will last forever."

Thanks jojo. Those words were so beautiful & deeply touched my heart. I'll remember it always. You're so smart and talented. I've enjoyed the mysteries you've written for Sleuth, as well as your jstkdn, M.Zane's, and others here that I know. I've felt so proud. I owe alot of thanks to Ben for creating the best mystery game on the internet. It's been my get away from the daily worries and cares of life, to enjoy a game that I love and chat with friends. Thanks guys.

Thanks DaRu.

I read some poetry and found a poem that sounded good.

'Facing the Future' by Mattie J.T. Stepanek

"Every journey begins
With but a small step.
And every day is a chance
For a small, new step
In the right direction
Just follow your Heartsong"

From: 'Hope Through Heartsongs'

Mattie was a young, disabled poet. He was on many TV shows and a good friend of former President Jimmy Carter. He was an inspirational person who touched many lives.

But sadly, Mattie died this summer. But every day, I seem to find a new Mattie in my life. I found one right here at Sleuth.


(Now I sound like a poetry freak! Yes, I DO have a life! ;) )

You don't sound like a poetry freak...lol. There's nothing more beautiful than poems or poetry in song, which tells a story. Being a professional song writer,I such passion for it. Whether in a song or a poem, poetry touches lives. Thanks for sharing this with me.
