It's a good thing I'm not superstitious, or I would not be making this post. I had just signed in, and was all set to post, and without warning, the power went off. I thought that it was no big deal, because it does that often, but it comes right back on, within seconds, or minutes. Not this time, though...five whole hours!
I walked around, flipping switches, looking out windows, eating everything in sight, fretting about how I was going to cook. Of course, the fact that I have natural gas for cooking never interfered at all with my fretting! As a matter of fact, an emergency run to Arby's was made, never mind that nobody was hungry. It just seemed the right thing to do!
When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. ~Theodore Dalrymple

" I do not believe that every one is false. I will not believe that hope tells a flattering tale or that friendship is only a name, or that true love has fled from the earth and that the fear of God has vanished. Love is life. So much love, so much life, and few women, have been so well loved as I."

It looks like you figured out how to change the font on your posts. When you find one you really like, and want that for all your posts, let me know and I'll make it so they are all the same.
Keep up the good work.
You know, that trip to Arby's even though your gas was on? That sounds a lot like hurricane behavior.
Well, k...after living in Florida, and Alabama, and cleaning out every store in the county of milk and bread at the first mention of snow flurries or tornados...well, you know how that goes. LOL
And Livey, maybe I did learn to cchange the font, but I still haven't learned how to edit a post after it's posted, and I see a glaring typo...doggone it!
