Yes, sometimes the reasoning is disjointed or convoluted. Makes you wonder what it would be like to meet some people in person. Like as soon as you met them you would understand! Oh, I see. But she doesn't have the corner on the market for that commodity! Christine!! LOL!! I still like both of you anyhow!! grin Someone may think I have some wild ideas too, although I can't understand why!! LMAO!! SR

Oh, Christine. I must explain this message written to Gregor in a fit of exhaustion and guilt that I was abandoning something as truly important to many as the prayer thread. The results are not faked. They amazed us as much as anyone, I can assure you. I had an obnoxious episode with a new computer. To get a rebate, I had to discontinue an existing pre-paid hook up with a great little local company. Then I could not access the new one to disconnect and they were billing me. This all got extremely out of hand, as well as nonsense going on from the computer rebate people, who probably were concerned I would someday show up at their office with a loaded Uzzi. So, once disconnected from the bogus rebate hook-up, and very tired of spending so much time on SI, and very SICKENED by the unbelievable sum of monetary loss I had encountered following stupid hype and hysters all throughout SI, I took the opportunity to cut and run. RUN!!!! Far away!!!!! With much less money, I might add. It was all good for me. Losing the money matters about as much as losing a pail of sand at the beach. In the long run, it just doesn't matter. Other things do, however. But I felt guilty abandoning the prayer thread, and also quite embarrassed that I had ended up losing a lot of money here, when I did rather well on my own before tumbling down the SI rabbit hole. Probably a note like this to Gregor would have been more honorable than the abrupt departure. I did enjoy the absence though, and have since managed to fill up my little pail once again. I continue, as always, to be amazed by Life. And I would not imagine this is of much importance to many people. By now I would have fallen asleep with boredom if I weren't typing. :)
