In fact, I've checked back on FFL from time to time only to see a pile of posts from Judy with "Barry' in the subtext....I just click off and figure there's nothing new going on. Barry rarely uses Judy's name in his posts so once in a while I'll read something and realize it's mid volley in one of their exchanges and I tune out.
That said, the last thing she wrote that I can recall being interested in was about food. Most of her posts just strike me as self-inflating huffing and puffing and putting others down. Barry, on the other hand, I find highly amusing and often insightful. He, Rick and Curtis are the "must read" posts when I'm looking in on FFL. When Curtis stopped posting some months ago I stopped reading FFL for months. It's great to have you back Curtis. Your new project is gonna be awesome! Can't wait.
