I must admit.....

Lindy (on second glass of wine) — 1/16/2007 11:08:02 PM (archived)

I have tried to leave this place many a time.

And it eats up a lot of my time that could be spent doing other, more productive things...BUT!
It is discussions like these that absolutely fascinate and delight me and embolden me to throw in my thirty cents worth, before I cook my dinner or complete my tasks for the day. (It's actually a good excuse to pour a good glass of wine and enjoy the mental processes of my fellow Zoners.)
I must admit, this place ROCKS at times!
