wow, that was a long damn post. two items to add: firstly, sarah has been added to mr. blog and if indeed there is news and i am gone she will be bearing you the news. i don't know if she realizes what a burden i've placed on her but she's accepted it with grace and i am very thankful.
and secondly, why hide the referral? i'm a nice girl. unless y'all are the crazed vegan people, i see no reason to hide from me?
