Ask anyone in our house if we want a vegetarian hot pocket....<br /><br />This will probably not surprise anyone who knows I own three dogs, but my favorite jean jacket button said 'the more I know men, the more I like my dog.' I also owned a key chain and stationery that said the same thing. As an adult, I do like most of my fellow man. Not the ones that drive me facebook crazy, but I probably wouldn't have liked them in real life. So sorry to hear of your tough times; you are in my thoughts and prayers.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754778263332756663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-8579004361409964242013-10-15T08:48:54.755-07:002013-10-15T08:48:54.755-07:00Thanks, Marie.

I think it happense because of my upbringing, which told me that, in the face of injustice, it is imperative to act. If anyone had known about it at the time, I'm quite sure they would have explained that Facebook was to be an exception to this rule. However, I can't get over that sense of righteous indignation, try as I might. And I suppose it's the same essential fabric of my nature that has also made me the person that I am—in a good way. I can't seem to get rid of it, so there it is. :) And I am indignant on your behalf, specifically, Lou. Please consider it a gesture of love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644569152748119356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-53492462414243310902013-10-10T08:56:48.832-07:002013-10-10T08:56:48.832-07:00very well said Kelly.very well said Kelly.Marie at the Lazy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499662322233018616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-61867351391361140342013-10-10T08:56:03.968-07:002013-10-10T08:56:03.968-07:00So dang glad you're writing again!!

I am composing a letter to all 535 members of Congress and it will include words like "love" and "compassion" and "I'm praying for you."
