14. I grew up in a toxic family and I now know enough that sometimes it's best just to cut ties.

I've been coming around less and less and I'm just counting the minutes till JPR 2.0 starts up.

Hope to see a bunch of you fine folks over there, I've enjoyed lurking around here a lot but I don't see why anyone would want to 'cast pearls before swine,' as the saying goes. I know that whatever I write will be either ignored by the trolls or just twisted into some weird violation of the TOS.

NOTE: "Pearls before swine" and "casting pearls" refer to a quotation from Matthew 7:6 in Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."

I just don't want anyone thinking that I'm trying to insinuate in any way that the people who disagree with me are in anyway less than human or that I'm calling them pigs or anything like that.

To quote another great thinker, "It's been real, and it's been fun. But can we say that it's been real fun? No. No we can't." --Pee-Wee Herman

Catch you all on the other side, I'm flouncing!
