In reply to the discussion: It's time to say goodbye... [View all]calimary
(81,085 posts)85. I totally get that. Reminds me of something Jonathan Winters said.
I interviewed him once (and fell in love, of course) and he talked about how anything and everything is great as long as it isn't "the ol' dirt nap." I think, as I remember the quote, it was - "sure beats the ol' dirt nap!"
Years later, a woman I know spoke her own version: "anything above the dirt can be handled."
Can't really top that, 'eh? Sorta spells it all out at its very most basic.
Happy New Year to my DU brothers and sisters! And you're all honorary members of our "ACIDIC family," too! So THERE!
Rock on!

Personally this was one of the worst years of my life and I may never recover from the fallout.

Thank you very much. I hope they will get better; it's just very hard to truly believe they will.

2012 was that for me, and I've been banned from "moving on" or whatever the bromide is
