Yep. Saying that that one was over the top would be an understatement. And the lack of moderation was puzzling.
On second thought, the break's over.

"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.
Count me among those glad to see that.
Regards-
CD
Wheeeeee! You just made my day! I'm really glad you've decided not to be dead yet. Like I've mentioned, I enjoy your posts and didn't want you to leave. There are numerous times when I'll read a thread, read your response and I don't have to post to the thread because you've said more eloquently what I would have said.
I hate like heck rdb3 decided to leave and I hope he changes his mind. He's another poster I truly enjoy reading. Out of all the people who post on FR, you two are some of my favorites and I could probably use my 10 fingers and maybe a few toes to count those that are on my favorite list.
Now, about this position....are congratulations in order? Oh heck! Congratulations on your new (?) position. I'm going to take this wild stab in the dark and think you probably wouldn't have taken the new position if it wasn't something you wanted.
Mike, I've always enjoyed your insights and posts. Please reconsider!!! Don't let the bad apples here on FR spoiler the rest of us good ones!
I hope so...
Odin Zot?
eep!
My husband, Mr. Spectre was in a state of depression over you leaving FR...whew!
Oh Happy Day!

Just Damn
THE KING LIVES!! :0)

I like that!
I wish to include that in my quotelist. Is it yours, or from some other source?
Aha!
Great to see both of you.
Well it's about time!
After all, even crime fighters need a break now and then...

Don't know who originated that statement, but I've used it before here. It's a true statement.
The party's not over.
Welcome back. Nothing wrong with taking a break once in a while.
Mike you scared us..
I was really bummed.
Time to clean the house, no? :>
Nothing like rattling a cage or three once in awhile...
But the blog is still departing. Likewise, my posting frequency will most likely decrease. But I'm not planning on going anywhere.
we have a common enemy. several, in fact:
1. Wahabbi Islam, other radical islamicist movements, perhaps islam in-toto.
2. the UN
3. the Leftist-DNC-MSM Cabal
the infighting here is due to at least the following two causes:
1. Invasion by ageants-provocateur
2. Human forgetfulness
Whew. What a relief!
I hadn't even caught up with the latest #$%^ taking place on various threads...but this morning started reading them and was too mad to write coherently.
