Boy do I LOVE this board!

Everybody knows everything!

This board simply amazes me sometimes.

I saw the thread about her outing the hobbiest and after reading that thread I came away with the idea that her 'retirement" was more a ploy to get people  off her back and gain sympathy until things cooled down than any kind of a real life decision.    Does anyone who read that thread believe that she has any other career options to go to?  She probably just went and worked somewhere else for a while.

   As for other girls who announce their retirements I believe that many of them do it to get attention or as marketing ploys.  If a girl announces her retirement I cross her off the list of possible ladies to see.  I figure they have emotionally checked out and their service will reflect that.  If they come back I would never see them, my thought being that they would rather be someplace else, failed, and are now  back with us.  I never understand the chorus of "you will be missed" when a girl announces their retirement.  My sediments are always "I hope you move on to bigger and better things"  I doubt that any of these girls aspired to do this as a career when they were growing up thinking about their future.
