44. Excellent Rant and Honest Analysis

Jun 2016

For some reason I haven't actually known you long here (but then, I've always been bad with names) even so I feel like I've known you for all my life, as close friends & kindred spirits.. I've enjoyed your posts and engaging with you immensely.

The hypocrisy has been predictable and continues to challenge my patience beyond measure. It's virtually impossible to manage to skim through their inane headers, let alone read what these people post, despite the fact I have so many on ignore. That list has grown exponentially since the primary began.. taking a vacation myself.

Don't know if I'll be writing it off completely. There are a few I take pleasure reading that probably won't be moving on, for instance H2OMan is someone I love reading.

I am anxiously awaiting the upgrade of the other site as I find it a bit clunky for me at the moment.. I hope it's soon!

Dude!
