The only reason I even posted it is because some of my readers look for my "evening post" because they know one is coming. So that was my evening post. Oy.<br /><br />Professor Jacobson, I wasn't "offended" at all; I know all about your quirky sense of humor! :) We go way back; in fact, I think when I first found your blog I did a post on it to which you sort of took offense and "demanded" an apology (all in good fun). <br /><br />Nah; dear LI readers - he was just poking fun and no offense was intended or taken. <br /><br />But hey, I'm wasting good blog energy over here, so I gotta go back to my own place.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxPat Austin Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767059128758168960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-75740369543047037322010-12-01T16:13:37.606-05:002010-12-01T16:13:37.606-05:00hee!

I've been blogging for over 6 years and have recently taken a break as well. Unlike the blogger you are criticizing, however, I didn't post about why I needed the time off. That being said, there is a lot more to many of us than just cutting and pasting (or did you mean that as tongue and cheek?). I spend a lot of time researching much of what I want to report beforehand, so I don't sound like an idiot online (I'm not always successful there, unfortunately).<br /><br />But sometimes, the weight of real life - kids, work and the occasional "what the hell am I killing myself over this for" kicks in and it's best to just take time off before you have a meltdown.<br /><br />Aside that, sometimes it's hard not to be feel completely defeated by the goings on around Washington and the world. And for what again? In my case, it's a limited readership (you've gotten more hits in the last two days than I've had in 6 years).<br /><br />Sometimes it seems it's just not worth it. Of course, then something eats you up and you're right back into it again.Shaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312584421727801374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-13162116000182696542010-11-30T23:26:07.520-05:002010-11-30T23:26:07.520-05:00@WAJ "Given to or promoting internal dissensi...@WAJ <i>"Given to or promoting internal dissension." </i><br /><br />That happens whenever I don't get enough fiber in my diet...Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-78336720961058348882010-11-30T23:14:35.165-05:002010-11-30T23:14:35.165-05:00Hello,
