For me, I have not minded it at all when anyone has discussed politics.
Given the state of the world. . . there is a lot to be concerned about.
I am glad our jmdl friends take the time to talk about these important things. The discussions have ultimately been about nations and lives and dire consequences. .
so of course there has been a lot of airing of opinions. . .that is a good thing. "All of it is important or none of it is."
I have not read everything written. . .and I think it is a very simple thing to scroll down or use the delete key.. . . very simple.
So Lori, think about taking that back, I have enjoyed a lot of what you and others have had to say. . . Never say never.
(I fell in love with a Republican. . .never say never.)
Yes, as Mark had previously stated, I too feel optimistic about the list. . . ."the seasons they go round and round. . . . . . "oh, these troubled times. . ."
So everybody, Keep on keeping up.
Meanwhile, I am looking for EVERY little sign of spring. . . spring is COMING!
Pretty soon we are all gonna roll down our windows and listen to Miles of Aisles together! Right J a c k ?
More details to follow.
Best, to all of you beautiful people.
