FTR…I posted my vent about your behavior here, hoping to get it off my chest. It is my journal. The fact that people that I am friends with can read it is just an added benefit. I didn’t say this on the board thinking, [...]

If I read it, I believe it. Brown eggs? Brown chickens. Tribulation? Why yes, sir, anyday now.
I spend too much time on MDC. There is where I am exposed to all sorts of environmental scary stuff in writing. Fish, bad, mercury. Teflon? Bad. Aluminum cookware? Bad. [...]
