Thoth - Don't go away for long, OK??

Love your voice, BTW.

Nooooo! PLEASE say this is only temporary!!!! :(

Enjoy my friend. Return when the spirit moves you :).

I'll miss your voice in the meantime.

Rated for meeting merry.

If traveling, hope you will have safe journeys. If working may it be fruitful. If resting, may you find mangoes.

Damn. How does one rate a damn. Well ok you've been gone off on adventures before so..go off and and the come back and start some new adventures. :-) Will miss you until then friend. ~r with a damn...

* now to go listen to that voice....

Understood . . . but be back when you can, okay?

Oh, man!
Hope you'll be back with us sometime soon!
IS THIS the VOICE of our dear friend Thoth, btw?
You know you have us quite curious on that score.......
R for the beauty of the film
C minus for leaving us, no matter for how short a time!

Nooooooooooooo. Seriously, Toth, where are you going and why? I hope you are off to a fun trip ....

I know so many here will be thrilled see you come back. Hated rating this, but what you gonna do?

I was so sad listening to you but then you started speaking in this voice... this ... sexy french thangy and I lost all focus. But I think what you are saying is your are taking a respite from writing here? You will be missed, Thoth. Hurry back.

...and...
Je ne sais pas qui vous aimez, cherchez à aimer ou faire avoir perdu dans l'amour mais j'espère que vous trouvez le bonheur que vous cherchez. Beaucoup d'amour à vous.

Thank you all. Yes, it is my voice. Hope to see you soon. All my love and respect.

It is "au revoir", Thoth - see you back soon, I hope...

See you soon, Thoth. Be well. ~R

You will be so missed. Have a wonderful summer and hope to see you back real soon! xo

Right now, half of us are swooning, while the other half wonder if it's too late to take French lessons!
;)

Hope you're off to the World Cup knock-out rounds Thoth. Or something just as enjoyable. Enjoy it whatever it is and hurry back.

Take it light. Stay cool!

What you talkin' bout Willis?(I've been dying to say that) I hope this is just a small vacation and not a bounce! (I hate flounce) Hurry back my friend, you are my protector!

time is a gift, treasure it. be well and return when you can.

sigh..
we will miss you my dear friend

stay safe and be happy, my friend. xxoo

A bientot! I will miss your eloquence. Merci for all the comments on my blogs. R

Thoth: say it isn't so. Keep in touch. R-

{{{FANNING SELF FURIOUSLY}}} Ahem... Monsieur K. French spoken thusly has been known to cause serious problems for heads of state, pre-pubescent girls and little old ladies. Watch it!

Boo-hoo-hoo...Please hurry back, mon ami.

Lezlie

Later, Dude.

Shane!!! Come back!

Thoth, your voice is quite pleasant. I hope you are going on holiday and will be back with us soon. I am just about to post a link to the project I have been working on that is finally finished. Perhaps you will see it when you next check in.

Be well. R

Sending love and wishes for good things. I too will say your prayer for truth and order.

my god yr a preacher toth. take no prisoners.

Welcome my friend to the land of abeyance I must tell you it is a land that is free of all obligations except to our own desires : “Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now” Yes after they find toxic sludge alla BP is the only thing on the dinner menu. Its hard to be smug when your children are starving.

come back soon, you will be missed.

Love ya! Don't hurry back!!!

I look forward to your return. And news of what you were up to while away, in your lovely voice - written or audible. What is your accent? It's not straight up american. And the French speaker was Enrico, yes? Be well.

You ARE kidding, aren't you? I hope you are merely taking a hiatus and not disengaging for good. It won't be the same without you....not at all.
Whatever you are facing, I pray that it is something more wonderful than you've ever faced and that you are full of happiness.....and that you get homesick of OS quickly and come running back! Love you and bless you as you ride off into the......future! :)

Bubba, y'all come back now, hear? Enjoy your hiatus, but not so much that knowing we are missing you doesn't give you occasional guilt pangs. Adieu, mon ami.

Thoth, looking forward to your return! I think this season has been particularly busy for many of us here.

Do come back! A Thothless OS is a thoughtless OS. Oh boy, that was over the top, but you get the sentiment.

Oh no! This isn't fair. I've been so busy, I'm just getting here and your gone?! Rats!! Please hurry back.

You're such a tease..really, stop it. I'm listening to your recording as I type. From now on, you must comment verbally. What will O/S do without the best commentator?

Vous allez nous manquer au revoir!
r_

Oh my. In French. Oh. My.

Enjoy your time away, my friend. Come back to us with renewed vigor and tales to tell.

Hey Thoth ,Thanks for the fine support you have shown me. The video says your going someplace Great ! All my best! Algis

I hope you're going on an exciting vacation where there's no Wi-Fi, or Obama is sending you on a top-secret mission. Otherwise, no legitimate reason to leave!

Where you will be is not as important as where you are going.
My hopes that your journey is a good one for you.

Are you secretly taking over for McChrystal?

Much success Thoth! rated OD

Come back soon!

I will miss your kind words, now knowing the sound of them, makes them even more kind. All good things to you each day. When you can, if you can, come back someday. You will be missed! R

Sorry you're leaving, enjoy whatever you're doing. If you want us to send you post alerts does that mean you'll have time to read us but just not to blog yourself? Or does it mean you want to know what you need to catch up on when you return?

I am glad you will still be checking up on us but I hope you return to us before too long. I so look forward to reading your posts! xoxo

I guess you know how relieved I am to read this.

Not that I don't expect you to delete me but hey.

Don't stay away too long! We will miss you!

I get it. I don't like it, but I get it. thanks for the flower.

Thoth I'm writing from Amsterdam and also am taking a break for a while, no plan on how/when so I assume you too are taking a break and will be back. You are clearly loved. 42 comments?! Way to go.

Beautiful words, truly. xxoo

You are such a thoughtful and kind friend, and you speak French as well. We need you here. In the meantime, have a safe and wonderful journey.

Do what you need to, go where you want to and drop in to tell us sometime.

Sam...I saw your post, got all excited, thought it was a write. I was late for work so read this and heard your beautiful words quite late. (My brother and his family were here and my grand daughters are visiting too, so I have missed some of whats going on.) Your voice and words were amazing..I don't know any woman who isn't a sucker for, especially, a french accent. WOW! You are mega talented and I am sure we have not seen all you can do...I will miss you much, you have been one of the very few genuine people I have met here.(This is my first on-line experience.) Please know that I appreciate all your lovely comments. Thanks too for compliment on my'drowned rat' pic in Hawaii.lol I don't know how to give notice to my faves yet...know that I love reading you and vise versa.
Come back soon...and blessings to you. cin

Did you write that.....? You spoke it so beautifully! You wowed me!

Take good care of yourself, and hopefully we'll see you back real soon.

I hope to see you back real soon! You will be missed!

oh nooooooo. come back soon!

What could you possibly have to do that is more importanmt than posting on OS?

I'll miss you, pal. Always love your work. Come back.

You are breaking my heart and leaving me lonely. Return when it's right for you!
r

I will miss your voice, but have no doubts you will return at some point to share the world through your tender eyes. Thanks for your support and kind words always. May this break refresh and imbibe you with nuances we will have to wait to hear.

Hugs and best wishes Thoth. Thanks for the "voice" again...lovely.

But! But! You can't leave... Come on! Don't leave!
NOW?? Who am I supposed to write seductive poetry about?
See what you are doing to me here??
You are killing my seductive muse here.. ~~~giggles~~~
~~running away crying ~~~

All joking aside. I wish you were not leaving.
Thank you for being YOU.
Thank you for being my friend
and for always being here for me..
I will miss you.... {{{HUGE HUGS}}}
((((THOTH))))Angel wings to carry through..
Love and Hugs
Fireeyes24

I just became familiar with you and your posts, but I will miss them and hope your stay off OS is short.

You'll be missed. Good luck in whatever you are going to do. R

Bon chance, mon frere. Veuillez revenir bientôt.

I really enjoyed the poetry and hearing you speak French. How about an Irish blessing? May the road rise to meet you...

Late to the party but I would recognize that voice (and that poem) anywhere.... Not sure why you are leaving, but you must have your reasons and I will respect them and hope to see you soon...... xoxo

Thothlessness
Brings on distress
And why you left
I'll never guess
But hopefully
Thith loth of Thoth
Will be, I confess
Only temporarily.

But I just got here!!!!

I hate to see you go......simply because you are one of the most kindest on OpenSalon. I will miss you. Hurry back! I loved your voice.

COME BACK SOON!!!

Good grief! I check out for a couple of days and come back to find people jumping ship left and right! Love your voice. Hope you're going on a fabulous vacation :-)

Take some time for yourself, you've earned it. Things like a "hiatus," can be very healthy. Recharge the creative batteries and all. Take care of Thoth, OS will be here when you get back. Wanderer will be too.

hey! i just got back from our trip, and i see you are off already.
i wish you will rest and refresh and discover and explore and love and return when you are ready. i will send you a message if i write something really good. you know how much i have ever appreciated your support and kindness.

have a good vacation or respite...

I will miss your elegant dignity.

90 comments so far....How can you walk away from the throngs who love you??? Not even ONE "Good riddance" message in the lot!
E puis, en francais!! Je suis desolee...come tous les autres...A bientot, je vous en prie.

I read carefully. You say you "will be off for a while", not that you are leaving. No doubt you have something important and glorious that will keep your attention until you return to comment and post. So nice to hear Cartouche/O'Really?/Patricia's poem again. Take care, read you soon. I will pretend you are still here and your voice is still heard. As an aside am frankly surprised your good friend Kim Gamble didn't this one, you two are so close!

I'm just back from a webless trip of my own, only to find you gone. I hope your journey brings you to what you seek.

Didn't 'what' this one, rainee ?
My comments are there, somehow undeleted. Magnanimity ? I don't think so.
