European Tribune - Comments - Monday Open Thread

Monday Open Thread | 63 comments (63 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Hey, just have a sec and wanted to let you guys know that I'm having somewhat of a situation irl that's threatening to avalanche. I'm fine, so don't worry, but if I disappear for awhile, it's NOT because I took offense to an underwear-related comment, so, as my gran would say, dinna fash yersel.

Hopefully I'll be around, but if not, I'll be back when the dust settles.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

Re: quick update (none / 1)

thanks, Helen! I'm fine, it's a family thing and, for once, it's not MY immediate family in chaos. But it is my partner's, so I'm involved I guess, but more in an 'along for the ride' supportive way.

It's just... well, I've been involved in a few 'discussions' (ok, I admit I've been on and off pissy at times) here recently and will continue to reply when possible, but might not be able to finish conversations.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

All the best Izzy; we always like to read from you, pissy or not.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.
