"Goodbye, farewell and amen"
Life's changes are always such that you never expect them, and they take a minute or three to get used to when they occur.
My life is taking a turn now that is forcing me to give up writing Ramblings' Journal.
I've accepted a new position that will preclude me from continuing my writings here. So I'm pulling the plug on R/J in order to focus on the new opportunity that has been placed before me.
Contrary to the opinions of others, I'm not running for office (I don't have the patience), nor am I joining a monastary. But I am turning the page on this chapter of my life, and moving forward. I'm very thankful for the friendships I've developed as a result of the blog, and I'm still going to be around -- you never know when an e-mail from me or a note in your comments section will show up to jab you or give you a thumbs up.
I want to say a special thank you to my Conservative Brotherhood bretheren, and encourage you to take a look at their blogs -- they are each fantastic writers in their own right. Their views are varied and they are each outspoken in their own ways. Their work is beginning to show up elsewhere, which makes me both happy and proud to know them.
The other blogs I've participated in -- Blogcritics and The Dead Pool -- are both worth your time and your thoughts. (Laurence, I'm still in the pool, even though I don't have a bunch of points. And Eric, I'm sorry that I hadn't had the opportunity to do more critiques in the past.)
A huge thank you to the Mu.nu community -- they've been incredibly supportive and fantastic. Pixy, you're the best.
I know I'm forgetting folks, and I apologize to you in advance.
I've asked Pixy to pull the plug next weekend.
Life's changes happen all the time, and for reasons known and unknown. All I can do is to step out on the path that God has lain for me, and know that He is at my side during my journey. I'm also happy to have my wife and my kids with me - they help keep me grounded. After twenty years (it'll be twenty years in a week and a half) of wedded bliss, I'm certainly happy.
Thanks again to everyone. God bless you all, and I'm sure we'll see each other 'round the 'net.
'Bye.
Methinks rmmcdaniell lost his directions to Storm Front.
Tell us again how you're not bigoted.
And I miss you when you're not here.
As William said, we need to stand up for what we know is right; FR is too valuable to give up to the kooks among us.
Wow, that's a pretty serious accusation. I assume some evidence is forthcoming.
Tell me again how you are not a liberal who has nothing to stand upon except the race card.
"And I miss you when you're not here."
Yeah, well, when I am here, I waste way too much time.
Here are some direction useful for you:

His posts on this thread speak for themselves. BTW, why is it okay for him to call others liberal college professor types? Didn't see you calling for evidence then....
Whoa!, now you're really gone. Bye bye.
That we do; but we need to learn to ONLY use the abuse button when necessary.
Personally, some days I'd like to use this:
ROFLMAO...................just ROFLMAO.
Great catch!
Now what did I say? I said that I don't hit on abuse anyone anymore because their posts speak for THEMSELVES. Hey RM wasn't ME that got you banned.
Isn't that the truth! I always wonder what makes people accuse others of that.
I am forever reading about how "Howlin gets people banned" or "Howlin got me banned."
I tell you, if that were the truth, we'd have a hell of a lot more bandwidth around here than we do now. :-)
Feels pretty good, doesn't it?
I guess the Mods sometimes just do it themselves.
Don't we all!
Looks like you just got your wish!
