The Prodigal Son
I was almost converted when I read the chronicles of the prodigal son. He must have loved it to read his own eulogy and was probably getting dressed to attend his own funeral when a sorceress resurrected him. A perfect example of how the result can justify the method.
And when I speculate about the (self-imposed??) exile in Babylon I get no wiser. It is hard to discern who is following the script and who is playing by ear. I detect a smokescreen here and cannot help to wonder if the accomplice is part of the setup or if she is just being played as well.
I would have placed my own
on the tombstone... had I not known for a fact that the prodigal son had access to an internet-connected device on Friday, August 23 which casts serious doubts over a lot of things in and around the confessions of both the sorceress as well as the accomplice. But then, was she (the accomplice) in the loop? Knowing the extent of his imagination, nothing is impossible. I think we all remember some previous attempts at gaining attention and sympathy. 
About the Internet appearance on the 23rd, it is a pity that I did not bother to retain a copy of the now destroyed blog. But I believe enough people read it. A few even commented on the immorality of the contents. Of course it was him, or otherwise, he has a very good copycat on his tail and I don’t believe that.
So now all we need to do is to wait for the prodigal son to return so we can feast on the fatted calf.
But then all this is just speculation, conjecture and/or opinion.
This blog is a script I'm writing for TV and is, in its entirety, is a figment of my imagination. Any resemblance to any place or person, dead or alive, is either by fluke or absolutely deliberate. If you see yourself here, give me a tinkle so we can arrange for an audition. Stick around - I'll make you famous.

I arose from my death bead just to read the latest online script only to find the episode deleted
I'm sure the main actors will shortly reappear in a new "Drama" series of "daze of our empty lives"or perhaps "guess what never happened to me"
I hope you are better soon!
Cat,
When I first logged on this morning I saw the blog and wanted to catch up on it after a cuppa. But it was gone when I returned. Great moments of bad timing!
I'm afraid I'm at sea with the rest. I left when the penny dropped. I really wish that I could have stayed on.
I go missing all the time; for months at a time. My last AWOL was for more than six months. You get to like the place again after a spell of leave.
Hmm, I'm one of those who love this.
No mistakes here. Itchy may believe there is no smokescreen but she does not have the whole picture. There is something underfoot here that most people would have missed.
The should thank you.
Except for me of course; I knew he was around on the 23rd.
I don't watch TV. Prefer reading. This is like a parallel world to me. My real life even with four young daughters in 20s has no drama like this. But I can handle virtual drama.
Luckily I didn't lay flowers and took my hat off in this virtual funeral.
Miracles never seize.
Especially in view of a blog some time ago to the effect that nobody will know if somebody has died when he suddenly disappears. Probably deleted by now too.
Some time ago I had a similar problem here. I thought about a new toothpaste but it did not help. But it resolved itself in the end.
If there is, it probably is a fake too!
Thank you for tuning into Channel 11.
Cat,
" my bold stunt" thanks for seeing it in another way ...
if only she had mentioned rather then deliberately prolong the concerns of others, why she didn't beats me but anyways, I'm happy for this episode to end, leave it in the past even if never to be forgotten.
Good night Fluff ball
I'm sorry if we differ on this but since he is alive again I stand indifferent to him. I really don't care about people trying to ride me nor about those who gather around them. And I might add that this episode taught me a lot, for I now understand the enigma behind him. I always thought he was too weakminded to do it on his own.
Channel 11. You can't go wrong.
You'll probably get some stick for this but that was always on. What I find strangest is that some people are very fond of telling some other people that they're wrong, but I have some more people doing worse and nobody ever says anything about that.
And it appears to me that if you are American you can do what you want on this site.
Me, I don't find anything remotely funny about it.
Personally I don't really care who is online/offline/dead or alive. I don't interact with these people either online or offline.
What I did, and still do object to, is the casual disregard for the feelings of people who do actually care.
Putting up a post giving details of another member's death, giving the date, her interaction with his son etc., and allowing people who did like him to believe he was dead is to me a cruel and cold deed.
She has had a love/hate relationship with him since I joined. Obviously it is hate at the moment so the feelings of everybody else can therefore be stepped on with calculated disregard.
I have no regrets for calling her an attention seeker. But she is more than that. Herbuddies can back her up all they like and say what a good caring person she is, and call me whatever names they like, but I still think what she did, no matter the reason, was wrong, very wrong.
And I thought you kinsmen were friends.
But I hear you. I don't want to see anybody dead either. My time here on CS will be rather empty without him around but I knew it was not so. Any expiry date after the 23rd would have been believable but not before. Ok, a few friends were shocked and then very relieved afterwards but Nam did not suffer at all, he was supposed to be missing so he was totally unaware of this as it happened. But then, he reappeared so conveniently at the right time...
And then we must look at Jenny's part in it. She obviously knew he was ok. She could have parted of at least some of her knowledge to set everybody at ease and everything would have been kosher, but she did not. Was she instructed to exercise her right to remain silent? There are a few questions here begging for answers.
I see he makes nothing of it in his return, so what now? Do we wait for the moderators with their pruning scissors? Or will it be sledgehammers this time?
Another question begs to be answered: why go to such lengths to find out?
The blog where it happened was deleted, presumably by the blogger and you have probably seen it as it ran for about 12 hours in your timeslot. I don't quite follow your comments so it is possible that you normally ignore posts by this blogger.
It is as molly said, Nam and I have a history.
Cat, as for the role of BCJenny or anybody else, you really don't get it, don't care . I don't care what goes on behind the scenes.
All I cared about was that people were upset on reading the death notice of a blogger. What was publicly put up on the blog.
It said he died on the 16th of August. That she was blocked from contacting him but that she got in contact with his son who told her the sad news.
Then, to show what a cold calculating person she is, sorry I meant good and caring
How sick and twisted is that? Or am I the only person who can see that?
Apologies
