So many celebrations, so welcome in this time of doom and gloom. TY.
I haven’t bothered to even log in lately. Nobody comments, nobody seems to read, and I’ve been so angry at so much going on in the world, that I didn’t want it to spill over on everyone. Today I thought I would check, and if I had even ONE legitimate non-spam comment, I’d write something. And here you are my friend. Love you much.
