Wondering about something

Do you ever read a post and you really really want to be smart enough to respond to it?
But every thing you type is just gibberish?

My new meds might be kicking it. Or its mad cow.

you want to respond, you NEED to respond and you rack your brain for something to contribute to the conversation. Then 5 minutes have gone by, 10, 15. You've started, stopped, erased, revised and started from scratch. At minute 22 1/2 you look it over and erase everything and type in "yup, I agree with that 100%".


Well, look at that. It's only minute 4........ this time.

Then instead of hitting reply, I hit alert! And it disappeared

I swear it was epic. Would have changed lives!

Happens all of the time. Stopped many insane rants from ever happening. Probably a good thing.
