I keep people in lists (many of them are multiple lists) but lately I am only checking a few: my blogging friends, my local city friends, and immediate family. The rest have been driving me a bit crazy. It might be the hormones talking, or I might simply be trying to simplify my life and de-stress. The first things to go are the political rants of the right-wing gun lovers and the people who pass things on without an ounce of common sense. <br />I keep reminding myself it is good practice in "loving the sinner, hating the sin."

I resisted blocking them for a while, because as the poem Desiderata says, "even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story." Then I moved on to the second paragraph where it says "Avoid loud and aggressive person, they are vexation to the spirit" ... so I blocked the suckas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33395706.post-79218874965221157912013-02-28T08:59:11.337-08:002013-02-28T08:59:11.337-08:00At least with FB you can "hide" or block...At least with FB you can "hide" or block. I have an uneducated, right-wing, sister. She posts the most ridiculous things! <br /><br />My FIL forwards way too many right-wing, falsely-attributed, email rants.

I feel so let down. If only because I tried so hard to keep the darn tank warm, back in our goldfish-as-pets days. <br /><br />As the mother of an extremely right-wing daughter, I'm used to clicking "hide" on ridiculous posts. It's good exercise to love 'em in spite of how darn wrong [I think] they are.Jenny Hart Borenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587246633354905840noreply@blogger.com
