Seriously, y'all, what's been going on around here lately? I guess I've missed a lot.....that's what I get for cleaning out the garage. And pretty soon, it's business time, so I'll miss whatever goes on later too. But you know "miss" is a relative term.

abbeyej Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 *gasp* I LOVE fluffy rabbits! I think you really need to take your fluffy rabbit discussion to another thread. Or perhaps make a social group for all of you fluffy-rabbit-lovers. There's a place for fluffy-rabbit discussions, but some of us here are trying to have a serious conversation about candidate I support/don't support, and you're using up our bandwidth.

Some of us enjoy this. And isn't it our duty to keep up with politics? And to use the good logic we teach our children? Now, isn't that special.
