7. I'm going to opposite route
I refuse to let this prick make me more miserable than he already has.
I've been in mourning since November and now I'm coming out, ready to fight and kick and scratch and holler.

But I understand why folks would choose quiet contemplation, too.

8. I have vowed this second term
to write more letters to the editor, to speak my mind more with my rw friends and co-workers, and write more e-mails to my elected representatives letting them know how I feel.

11. No, I am not fasting.
I won't let Junior and his ilk rob me of my health and my ability to care for my young children.

12. I'm Not Recommending You Fast...
but one day of fasting won't rob you of your health....


Jews and Muslims both practice ritualistic fasting are no more or no less healthy than other folks...

13. No, not overall, but
Knowing that going without food will cause me headaches and dizzy spells and that I have a three-year-old and a five-year-old to care for, I won't do it. I don't fast for religious purposes either.
