@bill_fe tx Bill... no - don't think the world sucks overall, but it's certainly sapping my energy at the moment... this too shall pass, but i have to confess that i do not enjoy the christmas season...
@northy I'm with you there, 'tis the season to avoid stores, even grocery stores play the sappy crappy music. Give me Halloween over xmas any time, in fact eliminate xmas altogether as far as I'm concerned. Very annoying time of year for an atheist.
