Heyyy 
It's been strange NOT being here! That was after almost 60 days of non-stop Steemit! Like I emailed you, life interrupted and necessarily dragged me to what needed to be "handled" in the "real world"!
Thing is, I love all of it because I don't believe any of it is "random" or "accidental"! So choosing to imbue each moment with "specialness" and often "awe" results in a certain richness of living that leaves me with leaky eyes and nose - hehe.
What have I missed with the ongoing saga of Miss Spikey? I really don't want to miss your story with her if you ever told it!
As for "meat" ... well my friend, the folks in my life might say something like ... A huger meat-eater you might be hardpressed to find, than 'yours truly'! Shhhh ...
I have every confidence that all is well in your "real life" as it is on Steemit. I suspect, who and how you are here is exactly who you are in the real world - genuine, kind, smart ...
Chat soon, my Friend!
