    Time for another 30 day break, my friends.

    Yeah, my friends, I think it is time for me to take another break from anything political in my life. here and on You Tube also.
    It is all starting to meld into one large sh-it slinging show with no one listening to anyone else.

    I was convinced me of this when I repeatedly said, over and over again, about the WHITE HOUSE VETERAN"S HOT LINE started only two years ago by Trump was the program that made a major difference in my life. Blind hatred of Trump never allowed them to see I was talking about a completely new program and had nothing to do with the program being discussed in the OP.

    Listening skills and reading interpretation are a lost skill and no one is listening or paying any heed to the other person. All are just trying to shout out over the other.

    No matter how many links are posted, they are ignored or cussed because the other person does not like the source. Many links are useless, but many are not.

    What I see here is reflected on You Tube and on the Boob Tube. No one cares to listen any more and all are just shouting to closed minds.

    My clear 360 vision and logical mind tells me to take a break from all this crap and go fishin'.

    This bar fight is not one I want to be a part of for now.

    I have a lot of left leaning members, and also a lot of right leaning members, but right now, no one wants to be reasonable or even acknowledge any good done by the other side.

    As I said before...no one is 100% all bad 100% of the time. I guess I am the only member here that things so, and will give credit where credit is due.

    Hence it is time for another break.

    I leave you all with a reality check...from me, and from the heart...

    Antifa are NOT like SS troops. They never will be. WW2 was over 70 years ago. Change the channel if that is all you can reference current events to.

    Conservatives are NOT the " new Jews" that antifa will round up and gas. Not gonna happen. Again...change the channel if all you can reference current events to is what happened over 70 years ago.

    ...and most importantly...cats rule the internet. Always have and always will.

    Bye, bye...see everyone on the 13th of September. Some others here should take a break too. Politics and opinion TV shows are ruining your critical thinking.

    If you're trying to post a pic from the net try unchecking the box that says "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" and the pic should post ok.

    Sometimes you just know it's time for a break to get yourself centered. The Veterans Hot Line sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out further. I'm glad it's been of benefit to you.

    It's hard for me to keep up with all the threads but you're right, a lot of it is the same thing over and over and over.

    Be healthy.
    Be safe.

    See you on the return side.

    OK, that did not last long.

    Staying inside due to COVID-19 and the 100 degree heat left most of my mundane indoor chores done and will not much else to do.
    Getting severe leg craps did not help. Pickle Juice and gallons of water fixed it, but I am still very sore and it is hard to walk very far. They must have torn some tissue as they were quite severe. Now time will be the great healer.

    So here i sit, yet again, at zero-dark-thirty listening and commenting on the on-line bar fight we call politics.

    Still can't post pics though. Can't even C&P them as the system interprets it as too much text.

    I tried to post a Marmalade pic for you, but still not allowed to post anything in any way.

    I do not seem to have any way to post any thing.
    Posting pics are half the fun of being on a forum.

    I hope they fix the problem soon.

    TEXT ONLY is boring.
