It's been a tough time for me since the middle of 2005. I did have a few minor health problems but these had been under control or on the way to recovery, I thought.
During 2005 May, I was down by food poisoning, back problem during June, and nasty flu (and back problem) July and August. Okay, my parents claimed a time off (in a way) by becoming sick during September. Then Octber came with even nastier BACK PAIN!!!
I have been having this problem since I was 10 or 11ish, but it never got as nasty or prolonged as this time.
Now the good news is there is nothing wrong with me, at least physically. The bad news is, rather are that
a) I could not get up from bed
b) Even if I can get away from bed, I can't sit on the floor or chair
c) I am a futon lover and didn't have a facility to work on my PC while staying in futon
d) Even if I had, I could not extend my hand away from my body (I never knew, the arm movements needed a lot of support from back)...
These all meant NO PC, NO net surfing, NO DA. :sigh:

I have been away from DA for a long long time, but it was nothing to do with my lack of interest, anything negative.
Just a simple case of problems, mostly with back.

At least, it has subsided now that I can walk without assistance or wakling stick, and I can sit on a chair more than 30minutes. Isn't that natural, now I want to come back to DA?? It's been a long absence, and DA seemed to updated their system, so I need time to get used to it. Sadly, all my time (that I can sit on a chair) can not be dedicated to DA. I need most of the energy to eat my food... I know I'm sad, I'm sad...

I will try to return the comments I am owing, during the next month or two.
