Well, so much for me getting back to drawing and being on here regularly. Life has tended to get in the way of me living it. Thanks so much to all those who have favourited my work, it really is appreciated. ~RubCheeksPlz (https://www.deviantart.com/rubcheeksplz)

I'm back. I just wanted to say thanks to all those who have commented and asked about me. I have unfortunately had pretty serious problems with arthritis in my neck causing a nerve to be trapped and of course, it just had to be in my left side, didn't it (I'm a southpaw) I've had electrically stimulated acupuncture for it ( I know, it sounds a bit kinky to me too ~embarrasedplz (https://www.deviantart.com/embarrasedplz)) and it seems to have settled to a tolerable level. I'm hoping to be back here on a reasonably regular basis soon and back to drawing too. I hope everyone who has been kind enough to have remained in my watch list after such a long absence is doing fine and enjoyi

What can I say? I am just so stunned and pleased to have so many birthday wishes. It's a bit daunting reaching 50 but so far there doesn't seem to be any difference from being 49. Who am I kidding, I've not felt any different mentally since I was around 21. Physically, well now that's a whole different kettle of fish but I've heard it said you get the body you deserve. Great googly moogly, I must have really pissed some people off. ~HardLaughplz (https://www.deviantart.com/hardlaughplz) Anyway, just wanted to thank you all for being so kind. :iconthankyouplz:
