Good morning, Pippin.

We're gonna miss you! Sorry you're having 'puter problems.

I know what you mean about being surrounded by libs. Been there, too. I ditto your coworker's advice as it's what I did when I lived smack dab in the middle of a liberal conclave in Memphis. I made a couple of very good friends there(libs, all). I don't think they had ever been around a conservative Republican before and my politics were a rare fascination to them. They genuinely wanted to know my opinions and we got into many thoughtful, respectful discussions. They were never going to change nor was I but those type encounters I don't mind, in fact enjoyed.

It's with the confrontational, angry folks I avoided discussing things. The old adage about wallowing with pigs or trying to teach pigs to sing comes to mind.

So, just use your good sense and judgment and you'll do fine!

Have a very good Memorial Day weekend, Pip!

To: Lakeside; Pippin
Hello, you two on this beautiful Memorial Day weekend tribute to all our brave men and women in the armed forces.

Pip, I will echo both Lakeside's and your co-worker's advice. Mostly because I really hate confrontations and try to just stay away from those who thrive on it. Fortunately, for me anyway, I really don't even know anyone who agrees with those dastardly dems, so I'm not subjected to politically-charged confrontations.

I like what your co-worker said - you're 'on vacation' from discussing politics. :)

We'll miss you until you get your problems solved, but hope you have a wonderful time in Canada - NOT having to defend our President. :)
