52. Perfect time to ask why this site is runningMcCaskill attack ads
Wed Nov 8, 2017, 01:52 PM
Nov 2017

In Mo the Democratic Underground is running a different ad weekly attacking Senator McCaskill as a liar. Why is this professed democratic site running republican attack ads? I don't get it. Can anyone explain this to me. You would be banned and "post removed" if you attacked McCaskill in a post or comment yet here is an attack ad calling her a liar running daily. What's up with that?

wrote. Thanks for doing the math. It's not really so many posts per day. Most take just a few seconds to make. Only the original thread-starters take much time. I probably average one or two of those per day, over that time.

Sure...some (many) of your posts are great OPs that start important conversations. Some maybe not so important.

But all those responses that take just a few seconds, it's not about the time (IMHO), it's about the commitment to be present and participating. Rain or shine, feeling good or under the weather...being present is a real contribution and, if I can say this without being weird, an inspiration. Those simple responses tell people they were heard and that is the ultimate compliment.

I read here daily and you're always stirring chit (that's a compliment, ya know) in one place or another with those little few second responses. One of the many folks that give this place come character and encourages participation so, again, thanks.

I cleaned out two jumbo-sized cat litter boxes in the laundry/furnace room. This was one of the major cleanings, so it involved taking about 40 pounds of stinky, damp litter up the basement stairs and out to the garbage can. The refrigerator would have been a piece of cake.

And so life goes, eh?
