As you know, I am religious, but I don't care that you are not. :) I always enjoy getting comments from you and reading what you have to say in your blog. As for the List of Not Worth It, mine has grown over the years as well. My family is Worth It. My friends, even the online ones, are Worth It. My own peace of mind is Worth It. Differences of opinion when coming from someone I respect, like, appreciate, are Not Worth getting bent out of shape over. Sorry I haven't been around recently. I have drifted away from reading blogs, but this week have put some real effort into catching up with a few friends. Hope you are doing well.Lori Helmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278789589316398394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022915969824853823.post-90930677501535573142017-02-03T14:04:43.675-05:002017-02-03T14:04:43.675-05:00Ha, I used to not find you confusing at all. My c...Ha, I used to not find you confusing at all. My cognitive processing speed has slowed with my disorder, plus I hear voices often now...sooo. This isn't about your snappishness though(& we've all got some). <br /><br />I find myself striking the X on the right top of the screen more often, when in the past I'd(sometimes) write: WELL, ACTUALLY.... or I never find that to be the case BECAUSE... The few core people I(still) read now, I feel mostly protective of in a sense, not adversarial toward(barring a day of ramped up paranoia).<br /><br />Also, I'm pretty strange now & I don't want to inadvertently hurt anyone's feelings.<br />2023https://www.blogger.com/profile/06090347339729432098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022915969824853823.post-79647225923389356302017-02-03T13:54:25.764-05:002017-02-03T13:54:25.764-05:00"I'm an atheist, but I do worship Deer wh..."I'm an atheist, but I do worship Deer whenever I am lucky enough to see them."<br /><br />This brought a smile to my face because I understand completely. Someone online once wondered how atheists can be happy. One of my friends wrote, "Beth is probably the happiest person I know." I find my happiness in the beautiful world around me, and yes, I find an almost spiritual joy when I see a doe with her twin fawns in the back yard. It's joy without deity and it suits me just fine...which you obviously also understand!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022915969824853823.post-80678363177365839192017-02-02T16:19:38.045-05:002017-02-02T16:19:38.045-05:00Mmhh...

It is merely the exhaustion of someone at times overwhelmed whether to be a political writer or a creative writer; or rather, how to do both against a clock that tics louder and louder every day. And wanting to make a damn living at it, too.<br />I appreciate so much you unwavering and unconditional love support on all fronts. I hope you know you have mine.<br />Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173711110500689117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022915969824853823.post-47370554772295907352017-01-30T19:21:19.836-05:002017-01-30T19:21:19.836-05:00i call her the 'charter school barbie' now...i call her the 'charter school barbie' now. her foundations and lobbying groups are part of what destroyed the schools in detroit. now that she wants to do to white folks'poor children what she's done to rest of the students, maybe someone will actually stand up for her. believe you me, the wealthier (white) districts will find a way to not take vouchers from the inner city kids as well....<br /><br /><br />mrs.missalaineushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542984504965262088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022915969824853823.post-92202006640749206082017-01-30T12:25:02.436-05:002017-01-30T12:25:02.436-05:00I do.not.even.have.the.courage.to.ask.you.how.you....I do.not.even.have.the.courage.to.ask.you.how.you.feel.about.DeVos.<br />I am happy times 50 for every drop of love & joy you & Tony share.2023https://www.blogger.com/profile/06090347339729432098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022915969824853823.post-57557473839934833112017-01-30T12:22:31.826-05:002017-01-30T12:22:31.826-05:00Donna~He's 90, an avid painter, still wood-wor...Donna~He's 90, an avid painter, still wood-works, recovered from cancer recently, & is still teaching Sunday School(I didn't know that last part, thanks).

I just wish we could go one more time and have our picture taken with him and Ros. I'm a Libertarian who used to be Republican, but have totally turned my back on that party. I'm ashamed of their choices. Our country is broken. The end.Donna. Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393352099473686196noreply@blogger.com
