Look, we've all known each other for 20+ years (except for this Dist asshole).

We kind of know each others buttons to push if it comes to that.

I say this because I'm pretty sure a poster or two out there is generally avoiding responding to me.  While I would like to hear that person's response, they don't owe me one, and if it's better for them to avoid responding to me that's fine.

There are a couple of posters I similarly think twice about replying to, as we often get into very negative interactions.  I wish those people all the best in life, but it can be better for me to not engage with them.

Just thought it should be said. :hug:

Stay safe out there.

Hope this doesn't presage a flouncing.

Also did I miss something, a juicy dust-up?  :D

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Who the fuck are you?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

It's tangentially trumps fault.

But also a Triumph for him, as liberal Languish bites at it's own tail.

If you choose to respond, is there a requirement the response be intelligent? I'm asking for a friend.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.
