 <title>As Some of You May Have Already Surmised...</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/06/as-some-of-you-may-have-already-surmised</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;...I&#039;m back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The book is progressing well, and I missed you guys, so I came back early. I&#039;ll have to limit my time here til Numen&#039;s Trust is off to the distributor though, so if I don&#039;t reply to your post, and you need my advice about something, go ahead and PM me. I&#039;ll be checking in at least once a day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love to all,&lt;br /&gt;
Pat&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>In Case You Haven&#039;t Noticed...</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/05/in-case-you-havent-noticed</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NO I HAVEN&#039;T FINISHED IT YET....but I can&#039;t stay away from you guys. I&#039;m going to try and restrict my time here so I can continue to make progress (yes, I am making progress), but isolating myself just makes me think about depressing things, and I don&#039;t actually get any more work done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, just wanted you all to know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HUGS,&lt;br /&gt;
Pat&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Some Time Away</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/04/some-time-away</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi guys!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry I&#039;ve been so scarce lately. Unfortunately, it has to continue for awhile longer. I am more than a year behind in getting &lt;u&gt;Numen&#039;s Trust&lt;/u&gt; finished, so I have had to stop everything else until I get it done. That doesn&#039;t mean you can&#039;t reach me if you want to. I am turning off my PMs here, but I left an email in my profile so that you can write me if you need to talk about anything, or just want to say hi. Don&#039;t feel like you&#039;re imposing. I&#039;ll be glad to hear from you, and will write back as soon as I get your message.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Hi Everyone</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/04/hi-everyone</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just wanted to let you all know that I&#039;m in the midst of adjusting to a new schedule, which is why I have been in more sporatically the last few days. I had to lay out specific times for everything I need to do, and I am taking this week to incorporate them all into my daily routine, and by next week I should be on more regularly. I&#039;ll try to catch up asap, as I seem to be missing a lot!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;
Pat&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Heading out now...and another bit of news</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/03/heading-out-now-and-another-bit-of-news</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back later, or tomorrow...depending on how much I can get accomplished tonight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just a heads up, I am planning to take a week off from Oasis sometime in early April. I am having trouble restarting my writing, and I need to take week to focus on getting back my momentum so I can finish my book. I&#039;ll let everybody know whenI&#039;ll be gone ahead of time so that you can plan your nervous breakdowns accordingly. ;)&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Goodnight All</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/03/goodnight-all</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay I&#039;m gonna head out now. I&#039;m trying to get rid of this headache, so I need to get off the puter for the night. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ll be back tomorrow, unless a jet engine crashes through my roof (if you haven&#039;t seen Donnie Darko, you really must).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hugs,&lt;br /&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi all!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BD said I needed to post more pics of Raja, so here they are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; src=&quot;http://www.patnelsonchilds.com/img/raja1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;img width=&quot;450&quot; src=&quot;http://www.patnelsonchilds.com/img/raja3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t have very many because of various hard drive crashes over the years. These are the best of the ones I have.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Depressed Today, But Life Goes On</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/03/depressed-today-but-life-goes-on</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just found out I&#039;ve got more than one person on my list of close friends who actually secretly hates me, except they&#039;ve now come out of the closet, so to speak. So two of the people I most loved and trusted have winked out of my life in the past two weeks, and another whom I love and care about is now gone too - for a time, at least. I them all the best. I&#039;m doing &lt;i&gt;my&lt;/i&gt; best these days to get better and climb out of that &quot;sea of despair&quot; (to use a nautical cliche) Hopefully I can stay out and dry for awhile this time.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Short Visit Today</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/03/short-visit-today</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m taking advantage of the relative (and probably only temporary) subsidence of chaoes here to take a bit of &quot;me&quot; time and try and catch up on a few things that desperately need doing. I&#039;ll log in at some point in the next couple of days, catch up on everything I&#039;m missing and finish the new forum I&#039;m working on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just wanted to let everyone know that everything is alright with me and that I haven&#039;t abandoned you all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many of you know how to reach me, and I assume you will if you think there&#039;s some urgent need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;
Pat&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Two Kinds of People</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/03/two-kinds-of-people</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay, lesson time, children. Get out your notebooks and write this down. There will be many tests on it later in life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;There are two types of people in the world:&lt;/b&gt; Those who will do things for you because they love you and have a kind heart, and those who will do them so that they can hold them over you forever and make judgments about you. When you discover that a friend or family member who you thought was the first type of person is actually the second type, it hurts...badly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How can you tell the difference?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Taking the Night Off...No, I Mean OFF</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2009/03/taking-the-night-off-no-i-mean-off</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi guys!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an effort to stay alive and well, and actually maybe get some work done on my book, I am switching off my PM alert and taking the entire night off. Doesn&#039;t mean no one can message me. Just means I won&#039;t be alerted or get it until tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the drama has been very thick here lately (to use a gross understatement), I want everyone to have the link to &lt;b&gt;The Trevor Project&lt;/b&gt; website, which is a crisis counseling center for GLBT youth:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thetrevorproject.org&quot; title=&quot;http://www.thetrevorproject.org&quot;&gt;http://www.thetrevorproject.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
