I've noticed lately there have been numerous posts asking about DU posters

who haven't posted for awhile. Because this is a caring community, we notice absences and it often raises concern.

I know the news these days can get a bit too much, and for our own well-being, we need to take a break and step back for a day or two or longer. If that is the case for you, you might want to let your DU family know.

We are with you, friends.

Says about me. People could put a note in that box they are taking a break. Others who notice absences can click on the user name and see if there's any notes.

Just an alternate to posting in the lounge if you don't want to.
