Could not help myself

I finally gave in and responded to some bullshit garbage about how stupid we are. How we are victims and violent. I will probably get spanked I guess but I just could not help myself. Light a candle for me. I am going to just avoid those posts going forward. It is not good for my blood pressure to read a pack of lies.

For some reason I allowed the post to get to me because it was an out and out pack of lies about my friends.
