I'm just trying to make a formal announcement here, that my dearest friend and former partner Karen (the spinner) has officially retired. And not recently, but about a year ago. She's doing well, she's wiped the net clean of her past exploits in the hobby, and I really think we should respect her wishes in this matter.
I still get texts/PMs/emails asking her whereabouts. I often reply "if she isn't responding to your communications, I would take the hint and realize she doesn't want to be found" or something of the like.
Texting me nearly EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. asking her whereabouts is not ever going to change the fact that she's choosing to not respond to you. (If you feel this may be aimed at you, you're more than likely correct. We been through this crap before. I really think it's time for you to move on)
But yes! Karen is safe, fantastic, and happily COMPLETELY retired. By choice. It's time to move on to the next one. I know she's literally THE BEST, and I'm so so thankful for the opportunity to spend time with her and learn from her. For the ones that got to see her, let's just consider ourselves lucky. Being forceful, repetitive, and -honestly- scary is not going to bring her back. Sorry!
XOXO
