Well, I see that this thread has inspired another thread:

thread.cfm?threadid=108935&messages=66
BS: Mudcat is also difficult for.......

I've not read that entire thread, but I think it's tended more toward humor {humour} than anything else.

Which is fine. I would like to laugh more since laughing or at least smiling help one get through some of life's tough times.

Unfortunately, I've not been laughing too much lately. And I take the blame for that, and don't blame anyone else.

When I started this thread I had a great deal of pent up emotion that I needed to express in order to make some sense of it. As I mentioned in my first thread, sometimes writing things down is   better for me than talking things out. Perhaps I should have delt with what I was feeling by myself or by talking it out with friends or family outside of Mudcat rather than sharing it with {inflict it upon?} this community.

But I chose to start this thread, and I appreciate the comments that have been posted here.

As to gnu's comment about "analyzing this and that and the other and trying to generalize or, conversely, nitpick, whatever", I warned you that I'm expressing my Virgo astrological placements. {Virgo energy is said to be over-analytical}

And-as I think I saw on that other "Mudcat Is Difficult" thread- those who believe in astrology are another group for whom Mudcat is difficult. But just as I've been interested in children's rhymes for years, I've also been interested in astrology for even more years.

And did I mention that I also believe in reincarnation?

Did that make the list in that other thread? I'll have to go check it out.
