Well I have been a little busy and do not come in often. But things are slowing down some and I will come in more often now. I go to either the Daily Grind or my group The Gathering Place. Now since I am in Alabama I guess I am rolling with the Tide. Between me and you I don't really watch football (but mums the word now). LOL You have a great night now and sweet dreams.
Thank you Apposite - I'm very complimented you have missed little ol' moi! Happy you liked the suggestions. They were proffered with studious thought and consideration. Not all political tomes are outdated, and as a student of war, I have kept the best of my late father's collection, books he & I shared and read together and agreed were worthy of time and attention, as these were the books that would stand the test of time.
Ah . . . I'm a clever bunny - I'm in Raleigh - not Toronto! I moved precisely because one more bloody winter in T.O. after 30 some year of it all was going to be the death of me! Of course, it's quite cold here too - but NO SNOW!!! AND lots of sunshine. I suffer from SAD - so I'm happy!
P.S. I shall drop in - actually I always check to see what's going on in TQ&A - just reading more - as I'm helping with the new "Welcome Lounge", looking after my Woman's Group and now I'm working with LFF in the newly named "Guys & Gals Connecting" group - you come and join us there for a bit of fun - get out of the war rooms for some fresh air!
Come join Guys & Gals Connecting please. I promise you will find it entertaining. I challenge you to contribute to my "Changing Places ~" discussions for starters!
I'm not FROM RDU - it's a long story. When I have more time I promise to fill you in.
Apposite, given you liking for clarification and understanding perhaps you might find this book on physics (from both a western and eastern perspective ) intriguing and informative: The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav .
As far as TQ/A - Steve is rude. Often. It's his gig. It makes him happy. He picked the wrong target t'is all. I smack back ten fold if necessary - I'm fundamentally much more British than American and I don't suffer stupidity and (repeatedly) rude fools lightly. Most of the discussions after the initial get go - go around in spiraling downward circles and often times more than one person is busy eating their tail in delirious self-absorption. It becomes boring quickly.
Life is difficult enough. If my dry sense of humour - often intellectually based is not appreciated, I'm quite capable of taking it somewhere else where it might be better received.
Thank you for bestowing upon me the honour of your friendship. Thank you for your kind and generous words in support of my beloved Diana. May good health and good fortune follow you in your endeavours!!!
You are welcome for the Valentine, and we have no snow in the Denver metro area, think that it is snowing in the mountains though....
hope you have a great day filled with love and laughter

I concur! However . . . Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.

Have an excellent Friday!;)
You sound like a Coloradan at heart! From what I have heard, Alaska is pretty cool too! I am thinking about taking a trip up there this summer. Any recommendations? Your comment in how people converse was very thoughtful. Thank you.
"Ello you! Well here we are - t'is true. Thank you for defending me on MA after I was trounced off. It was deeply appreciated - as I could not defend myself of course. I'm surprised you were not issued a sterling invite as it seems by invitation only now. Mind, if one is invited to stay - and is THEN trounced off - I can really see the fur flying ! Intimating that you were the cause of their decision in any manner ( I slogged through the whole C&C thread last night - Lord what a confusion) would be just - outrageous. You were the epitome of balance and common sense and reasonability.
Phillies fan and Flyers fan here...Eagles? Not so much. I don't follow a lot of football at all. Not sure why, my Dad and brothers were huge fans.
Our football fans have a gained a bad reputation through the years, most justified I'm afraid...it's hard to overlook throwing snowballs at Santa Claus :-)
I'm about an hour east of Gettysburg. Have you visited there? If not, you should!
Growing up in Philadelphia I toured the historic sites so often that I grew tired of them. In my 20's my boss appointed me offical tour guide for visiting customers who wanted to visit the city and Valley Forge. I gained a much better appreciation for the history that surrounds me.
I also live in a historic house...built circa 1760. Some quiet summer nights I sit out back and imagine the history that passed through this house...
I thought we always could agree to disagree....I think many saw my disagreeing as being argumentative, but it didnt feel like that to me.....Now I keep my spunk laying low..It isn't worth losing friends over....Besides that I lived my last 7 years on borrowed time which could be near a end (I'm a realist...That is if there is anything to real I really know anything about)...LOL......I just feel so much more peaceful & loving these days......:)
I pop in here when I remember to, but not every day. I actually haven't posted here for a very long time, not since Robin said she wanted to talk about this being a pay site, or maybe even before that. I do post comments in Chat, but that's all. I have other sites to amuse myself now.
Hi Mike. I’m alive, but haven’t been active on any sort of social media for a while. I don’t use Facebook at all. Recent events make me even happier about that than I was before .
Has the crazy virus yet found it’s way to Alaska? Even our libraries are closed along with everything else! That thick LINCOLN book you recommended should last me through the quarantine ! :)
