"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.
Ironically, a great deal of name-calling, soured feelings and all-around unpleasantness could just as easily have been avoided, had everyone initially involved followed precisely that very dictum -- i.e., "Ignore them."
Can't hide from the world or force-feed people I.Q.s, after all. :)
Someone will have to pick up the "Just Damn" ping list during his "temporary hiatus".
Woo hoo!
THe reports of your departure are then clearly exagerated.
I'm glad you two decided to stick around.
Congratulations on the new job, Mike!

Post something dealing on Israel... or dump on Pat Buchanan. They come out like worms after a storm.
Around here we call'em nightcrawlers, and they're useful for catching trout.
I don't know what use the knuckledraggers have.
Awww dang, I didn't know he'd bailed. We lost a good man.
No no. He was gone, and now he's back. He's back.
He should form a showband: Pat and the Paleos, put those Anti semitic, pro slavery, IRA loving paleocons to good use!
Excuse me?

Hey Cyborg,
Hope you got a good night's rest. Last night's thread still seems to be very active now.

I would answer your question if I knew what it was.
It's right there in #311.

Because I said he was leaving because of the race baiting? Wasn't that true?
Hey! You're still here, too!
You gave a lot of people a scare!
