First off I'm going to say that I try to keep this tiny corner of the internet a peaceful place. Whether it's here on my forum or over on the Facebook page.
Let us all enjoy Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (and whatever name you call it by where you live) stuff as a tiny break from the stresses of the real world, you know? (I think we all deserve that much.)
Second, I want to say a really big 'I'm sorry' to everyone who noticed the sudden silence.
(Trust me, it was not my intent for that to happen. I enjoy getting to post and share stuff! And getting to see what you think of questions, or what YST goodies you want to share.)
My apologies go out to anyone to was worried about me.
Third, as to just what happened... ugh...
Extremely short version is,
1 - one of my cats passed away,
2 - had some trouble with the neighbor's kids (though, to be honest, that had been going on in my entire neighborhood for a while now and been upsetting a LOT of people that live on this road, not just me) which, last I heard, ended up with a juvenile court from outside the county I live in getting involved.
(And believe you me when I say that you're getting the very very very very VERY short version here. Not getting into how I've been struggling to handle my emotions about the whole situation. BUT! I'm feeling good enough to be writing this out and posting, so that's progress.)
3 - found a kitten in the back yard (he was emaciated and about one day away from death's door. This was almost 3 weeks ago, so he's doing a lot better now.)
4 - said kitten and one of my 4 year old cats got an abcess and had to be taken to the veterinarian. And the only available one that could see the two on short notice was out of town a bit more pricey than my local vet.
The duo are doing way better now, healing up nicely, in case you were wondering. Though now I'm having to deal with the kitten losing a lot of his fur from around his shoulders and neck area. -_-U
5 - add that onto money was already kinda tight before all of this happened, so that vet visit really didn't help in that regard. (Mind you, it was 100% worth it to have these two doing better, though.)
So... yeah.
That's what's been going on at my end of the line.
Due to #5 up there, I'm offering to do Japanese to English text translations. You know, if you have a page or two from a book or doujinshi you would like to see translated, or you want to know what a merchandise box's text says. Basically, for those of you who've been watching this page for a while, you've seen the translations I've been working on. That's the quality you can expect if you want me to translate something for you. (And, no, it doesn't have to be any Yoroiden Samurai Troopers merchandise, in case you were wondering.)
If you want more details, you can find them here.

And, that pretty much catches you up on what's been going on.
Sorry again for anyone that felt worried or upset at my sudden silence.
Hopefully things should stay peaceful at my end of the line (just like it use to be).
Thanks for your time, and here's hoping for the best!
