43. What? What? Someone clue me in?
Sun Dec 6, 2015, 09:11 AM
Dec 2015

I have not been over here even to read just because I've been so tired ... I love SMW & WE but it takes a certain level of intellectual energy to engage (and that's a good thing, of course!) and I just have not had it ....

So I have no idea what is going on - I saw a few posts from Demeter not that long ago - within the week? - elsewhere on site. Can someone point me to a thread, or something?

I totally loathe the incessant alerting and monitoring on this site - & it's reached Orwellian levels lately - SMW & WE was always a refuge from all that.
