Here's a tip - if a deviant tells you in a journal that her father just died suddenly, don't try to console her by saying that your cat might not make it through their sudden injury so you can relate. I know that animals are a major, loving part of lives and it's a tragedy when they pass, but this just seems ... bad taste.
Quickly, just letting you all know I'm still here, most days. I browse, fav and comment all the while, so I am alive! *waves*
