Do you have any pets, Don?

Yes. (Answer to a side question. Be careful you do not know where this is leading.)

Nowhere--this is just for fun...

But thanks for the response. Is it a guard dog?

A few still check back from time to time but I fear they see a lot of the same thing and leave again.

I wish we could get back to civil discussions again.

Yes, I remember when everything was cordial and utopian too. Coming here was like standing in a ray of sunshine. Kind of like how everything was so much better way back when......................

Back on topic, I have not been posting much because I do not have much to write about. I babbled about politics on three boards since about 2006 and sounded like a broken record on every one.

I still read this board because you all are on the hot topics and better than Twitter IMO (gag). In other words I am still a student. If it is any consolation, at least know that someone that is not posting is at least reading.

There is that too. The futility of banging ones head against the wall grows old.

That's hyper partisan if you please Dondi . Why anyone would vote republican't these days is beyond me.

Still you have to know your posters.

Don Quixote - take you into side issues with constant oblique questions.

Zeke - aspire to intellectualism.

Bob - extremely partisan.

Finnbow - very knowledgeable; does not easily concede.

Ike - knowledgeable; explosive vocab especially re Israel.

Pete - beware of his one liner.

Tom Joad - similar disposition as Ike; his thing is race.

You should hear the blonde's vocab. Makes Deb Morgan sound downright genteel.

I have chosen not to post much recently because I have been easily irritated and quick to anger since my son was killed. If and when (at some point in the near future I hope) I feel a bit more rational, I will probably join back in some heated fun. Until then, I will probably just be content with the occasional drive-by.

It is really hard to imagine being in your space.

I hope you find ways to grapple with the pain.

+1 I've been working too much and then dealing with crap around the house. Spackling, painting, pulling carpets, finishing floors, hanging lights, trim work, bleh bleh. Not even any time to listen to my stereo, its just wrong I tell ya.
