Testing


I am unable comment this morning on anything but my own past blog-posts. So, I'm troubleshooting as well...interesting morning at TPM.

This Is What Is going On in Countless Households Across The Country. Really. You Can't Make This Stuff Up...


It is happening in homes all over the country...family and friends at odds over the current situation. I would think we all know someone like this. It comes under the heading of truth being stranger than fiction. You just can't make this stuff up.

The following is a series of e-mails exchanged with my uncle...you know the one I introduced you to a few months ago. For awhile after the election he left me alone, but then he sent me a vile forward about one of the many crimes of Obama, the day of the health care speech. I sent him a link to factcheck.org debunking it, then in a separate e-mail, wrote  the following comment, then it was on. Interspersed with the direct back and forths was a barrage of 10 different forwards...you know the ones, accusing Obama of everything but murder...

I'm sure I could have handled it better, but my blood pressure was rising with each new shot...maybe you could critique the exchange, and give me some suggestions for handling the next one (and it is SURE to come, unless I have finally been COMPLETELY disowned!)

My Comment:

"Life is not meant to be a gentle journey to the grave arriving in pristine condition, but rather a wild rollercoaster of a trip, sliding in sideways, a mocha in one hand and a bar of chocolate in the other, completely used up and screaming whoooeeee! What a ride!" "What is, is. Accept it and learn to live with it or work around it."
