Hi AZ, Kathy.
I discovered FR quite by accident (is anything really by accident?) on my way to FOXNEWS.
It was in 2004, during the elections. After reading about FR in (ironically) a NEW YORK TIMES article, I bookmarked it out of curiosity, but sort of forgot about it. Then, several months later, I clicked it by mistake — intending FOXNEWS instead.
At the time Arafat had unofficially died, and I glanced at the posts about him. Then really started reading them. They were so funny, I couldn’t stop.
Since then I have become a fullblown addict. Literally. I get neurotic when I’m away from FR too long.
For me, FR has been a lifeline, especially coming 3 months after my father’s death & some unresolved grief. It really put me in a different place mentally.
It has also been humbling. I didn’t realize how naive & uninformed I was about the world. I really bow my head to a lot of the folks here.
Evening Mooch.
Oh dear MoochPooch I can so relate to that! *Hugs*
