Town Heretic

You never miss a beat...

:rotfl:

:wave2:

What's going on? Pick yourself up off the floor and tell me about it.

It was the...'Islam' thread...or one of them...

I see the joint didn't burn down while I was away...

I think it is the former reason. A new owner may not want to deal with the promises made for Lifetime Members. Who would want to deal with perpetual land use easements when they interfere with some new intentions?

Thanks TH and good for you, I'll take any miracle I can get right now.

I see the individual who sought you out and harassed you on Facebook is still holding onto a whole lot of animosity towards several posters (especially me). Ho hum.

Lately I have been checking out the bells & whistles, and figuring out stuff, so I will probably be dropping by more often. It's just that I know V-Bulletin, and don't have to think about it. I'm lazy. Hope all is well with you, and will be back soon.

Yeah, I'm not too fond of the new format, so I don't come around as often. Old people don't like change, you know - or you will know eventually. :crackup: I hope that boy is doing well. Mine has been married for 8 months now, and they are building a house. It's so much fun to watch them grow together.

De nada.

BTW, it's grazie.

:chuckle:

And thanks, prayers are much appreciated, and I'd meant to add congrats on your 4.0. There was never a doubt in my mind.

And now, I'm headed to coffee with friends. Good timing, now that the troll is here.

This is my first week of break - I'm reveling in it. I'm officially a senior now, two more semesters and I'll be the first woman in my family to have a degree.

As for sod... you know, I'm not going to waste my time talking about him. You know what I'd say anyway. But your posts were terrific, very well done, and irrefutable by the troll and by rocketman, so thank you for taking the time and the oppportunity.

And I know that you know I haven't sucked up to you a day in my TOL life. Perish the thought... :chuckle:

Will look at your link.

And yes, I'm glad for our friendship, which has stood the test of time. And I'm glad for you.

Last to first:

I know... funny how things change, isn't it? I'm somewhat reassured at the thought that we're always changing, often in response to environment or crisis. I've been through multiple crises the last six years, and these days feel like a bit of glass formed in the inferno, half covered in ash and still hot to the touch for the unwary who attempts it.

Something discussed in my stress, trauma and PTSD class (taught by a Navy Iraq war vet clinical psychologist) that "trauma shatters belief." I think that's true for many. Not just religious belief, although it often manifests that way. Shattered belief in anything that one once held as true, secure, unchanging, unquestioned... and in recovery one has to find a way back, although it might be to a place that doesn't look the same.

That was the gist...:chuckle:

I hope you take my forum comment in the spirit intended, it's not a criticism of you but an observation on him (and separately,on rocketman's selective indignation... really - taking you to task for "goofy"? Please...).
Honestly - it's not worth the time to respond to sod. Ignoring him is the best way, if not the perfect (or alternatively, the most satisfying) way. We know who the troll is.

Take a look at this number:

140... That's the lowest I've seen.
