phusis...I'm glad you clarified your use of the term "liberal", but it did come across as political. I've never used the report button, and I do believe in free speech. But I also believe in civility and being respectful of others. I am often disa...

I'm not sure I understand all the congratulations for getting divorced. I got divorced, and while I know it was the best thing for both of us, I still don't celebrate it. I consider it a failure on my part. I'm reminded of Kris Kristofferson's obs...
