P.S. I will remain a paid Co-Sojourner during my hiatus, so even without me here, I'll still be contributing to the work @th3j35t3r is doing for all of us.

Hey Folks,

Don't worry if you don't see me for a while, I'm taking a break from Counter.Social for a while.

I'm also seriously considering taking a break from the internet, but the job won't let me do that during working hours.

Worry is bad for me and ultimately has no useful function at this point, especially with my addictive personality.

I'll reassess after the new year.

Till then, please be excessively kind to each other!

One of my favorite scenes from the reality Netflix Show "Somebody Feed Phil". Phil was having a meal with an observant Jew, (Phil is not orthodox or very observant).

Guest: You eat bacon? Wow.

Phil: I love it!

G: What does it taste like?

P: have you ever had Turkey Bacon?

G: oh yeah, like that?

P: no, NOTHING like that! it tastes GOOOD!!!!

FTR...

The only reason I'm having Oatmilk creamer is because at the office, The youngest carton of 1/2&1/2 expired on Oct 15th.

There was one that expired in August.

The smell was, shall we say, interesting as I poured that one out!

I'm just going to say it.

Oatmilk and Almond milk, as coffee creamers makes your coffee taste just exactly what you would expect a Vegan option to make it taste.

Something is seriously wrong when for the first time in my life I see there are Curfew's deployed in a downtown area (Orlando in this case) because it is Election Day...

That really sorta pisses me off!

Something is definitely wrong in the U.S.

I'm even feeling brave enough to open the Firehose!

Note: I will continue to use the #politics for those of you still feeling too "jangled" to handle the anxiety.

Personally, I'm feeling really good about this. I'm pretty sure it will be good news before the sun sets on the U.S. on Wednesday evening.

Okay, enough with my head in the sand. A week of no worry has totally restored my equanimity and it's time to add back in the people I Muted / Unfollowed.

And I'll start with following again @th3j35t3r !

I would like to point out that the person who clicked "Reply All" to a company email about the yearly sign-up for Health Care, was under the age of 30!

So enough with the "Okay Boomer" stuff, the young ones do the stupid thing too!

Told you.
